Tiny Ducks
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tiny Ducks is an Apple Watch idle game about repopulating the world, one step at a time. The duck population collapsed. You found the last breeding pair. Your job: walk, hatch, discover new breeds through genetic mutation, and grow your flock until the planet is covered in ducks. How it works: Choose a breeding pair โ mother + father from your Duckbook Walk. Every step hatches an egg. Check your watch. See your new ducks. Maybe discover a mutation โ a new breed with real-time shader effects. Swap fathers to steer genetics. The mother is locked until you migrate. Walking with the same mother for a long time gives you a permanent boost to that family of ducks. When growth slows, migrate: release your ducks into the wild, convert population to golden eggs, and upgrade your nest. Start over. Faster. Bigger.
TamaShell
Read full descriptionHide full description
TamaShell is a virtual pet that lives entirely inside a fake computer terminal. Hatch an egg, then keep your pet fed, clean, rested, and happy using simple typed commands or on screen buttons. Your pet keeps living in real time, even while the app is closed, so a few days of neglect will actually catch up with you. Along the way there is a full day and night cycle, a coin economy you can earn by putting your pet to work, a shop for food and room decorations, and more... who knows what hides away in the terminal? If your pet dies, it does not just disappear. Reset and start the next generation. Raise a pet. Keep the terminal alive.
