A little buddy is waiting for you. PixelPal is a virtual pet game where you raise a Pal, an original little creature all your own. The egg hatches in 5 minutes, and from then on it's all up to you. As time goes by, your Pal gets hungry, poops, and falls asleep when night comes. ■ 6 ways to care • Meal / Treat – fill up Tummy and Mood • Play – earn coins in 3 mini games (Which Way? / Treat Catch / Remember & Tap) • Clean – leave poop lying around and your Pal gets sick • Medicine – two doses and it's all better • Lights – turn them off at bedtime • Scold – if it calls you for no reason, teach it some manners ■ Sweet dreams At 9 PM your Pal closes its eyes and drifts off to sleep. Turn off the lights and the whole room goes dark for a cozy night. Leave them on, and it gets a little grumpy. ■ Neglect it, and it runs away If Tummy or Mood stays at 0 for 12 hours, your Pal leaves a goodbye letter and is gone. You'll get a notification when it's about to run away (at night, everything except run-away alerts waits until morning). ■ Care from your Home Screen Tap the buttons on the widget to feed and clean without opening the app. ■ Decorate the room Pick a room, then decorate the ceiling, the wall, the floor on both sides and the rug. Put a hat on your Pal, or let it hold a balloon or a teddy bear. With coins from the mini games you can collect 4 rooms, 16 pieces of furniture, 8 hats and 6 held items. Your decorated room also becomes the background of your Home Screen widget. ■ Collect all 25 forms Depending on how you care for it and teach it manners, your Pal grows into one of 5 adult forms. Once it's all grown up, it's on to the next egg. Raise generation after generation and fill up your Collection. ■ Sweet friends (egg packs, one-time purchase) Pudding Pal / Dango Pal / Macaron Pal / Cotton Candy Pal. Each species grows up its own way and has its own adult forms. Every pack comes with that Pal's room set (Pudding Café, Dango Teahouse, Patisserie Room, Cloud Carnival: 1 room, 5 pieces of furniture, 2 hats, 1 held item). • Egg packs and the Complete Pack are one-time purchases – no subscription, no auto-renewal • With the free Mint Pal alone, you can play from egg to adult for as long as you like • Already bought PixelPal Pro or the Item Pack in an earlier version? All eggs are unlocked for you • Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ • Privacy Policy: https://sano131.github.io/pixelpal-privacy/ Works with VoiceOver: it reads out how your Pal is doing and the results of your care.

EIGHT MINIGAMES Tap Attack, Food Catch, Pet Flight, Frisbee Catch, Laser Chase, Pet Pairs, Picture Puzzle, and a full game of Solitaire with your pet's face on the cards. Every one earns coins.

WATCH THEM GROW A framed growth chart on the bedroom wall tracks exactly how tall your pet has gotten, day by day, from baby to elder. No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. Nothing is collected — your pet lives entirely on your device. Made by a dad and his two boys.
