Feed your critter and see how far you can go! Hungry Critters is a fast, one-thumb arcade game — drag to catch falling food before it hits the ground. Miss too many pieces and it's game over. Easy to learn, endlessly replayable. WHAT YOU'LL COLLECT • 30+ critters to unlock and play as, from a city cat to a phoenix • Dozens of hand-crafted worlds, from neon city rooftops to volcano peaks • 100 levels, each with a real reward — coins, critters, worlds, and permanent perks • 66 achievements to chase, from your first catch to a max-level legend CLIMB THE RANKS Every run tracks your Skill Rank — a rolling average of your scores. Climb through 10 named tiers, from Rookie all the way to Prestige, as your consistency improves. Check your full rank ladder anytime in Settings to see exactly what it takes to reach the next tier. BUILD A STREAK, EARN COINS Beat your previous run's score three times in a row and your coin streak activates — all three runs pay out together the instant you hit it. Keep beating your last run and every score after that pays out too. Miss one and the streak just pauses until you rebuild it — nothing you've earned is ever taken away. BUILT TO LAST • iCloud sync keeps your progress safe across devices, even if you delete and reinstall • Daily rewards that grow the more consecutive days you play • Daily challenges reward regular players • New critters, worlds, and levels to work toward the more you play Open it, drag your critter, and see how many bugs, berries, and burgers you can catch before the round ends.
