Crush your enemies! Exercise self care! Every step you take, every workout you finish, every ring you close feeds something on your wrist. Inner Orc turns your real-world activity into the care and feeding of your own orc companion, living right on your Apple Watch. Your orc runs on three simple systems: Energy builds passively throughout the day and surges when you close your Activity rings. Spend it to send your orc out on quests. Morale reflects how consistently you're showing up. Mindful minutes lift it, quests keep it steady, and letting too much time pass without checking in will let it slip. Quests send your orc off down a scrolling pixel-art road, walking, fighting, and coming home with rewards. The more engaged you are, the more your orc can take on. Check in throughout the day to keep your orc thriving, start quests when you've earned the energy, and watch your progress right from the watch face with a built-in complication that always shows what your orc is up to. As your orc gains experience, they can select a class and level up over time with visual evolutions at step. Reach level six to unlock exciting epic classes. No accounts, no ads, no subscriptions. Just your watch, your movement, and your orc. Inner Orc uses HealthKit data (Activity rings and Mindful Minutes) to power gameplay. Your health data stays on your device.

Soar is a momentum flying game built for Apple Watch. Dive into a slope to build speed, launch off the crest, and glide as far as the air will carry you. Every hill is a chance to go faster. HOW TO PLAY Hold to dive, release to fly. Time each dive so you meet the downslope at full speed and a clean landing slingshots you onward. Miss the line and you sink. Easy to pick up in a second, hard to put down. ALWAYS SOMETHING TO UNLOCK Soar is built around steady progress. Every run pushes a challenge forward, and finishing challenges opens the next area, the next biome, another of more than 130 birds, a new track for the soundtrack. Start in the Sunset Fields, then climb through the clouds toward Space or dig down past the Underground to the Core. Seventeen biomes, each with its own art, music and handling, and a new goal waiting the moment you land. THREE MODES • ADVENTURE: work through the world, one area at a time • ENDLESS: no limits, just distance, chasing your own best • RANKED: compete on the leaderboards Plus a Daily Flight every day with a fresh run and a morning reminder. A REAL IPHONE APP The companion is not a settings screen. Soar plays full screen on iPhone too, so you can play the whole game on your phone, follow your stats and listen to all 17 soundtrack pieces. Twelve food birds, from Pizza to Honey Cake, can only be earned by flying on iPhone, each with its own mission.
