Poopik vs Eggling

Poopik is a tiny pixel-art pet that lives on your iPhone. It gets hungry. It gets bored. And yes, it poops. Keep it fed, clean and happy and it grows from an egg into a puppy, a teen, a grown-up and eventually a wise old senior. Ignore it for too long and, well, you know how this goes. WHAT YOU DO • Feed meals and treats. Treats are fun. Too many treats make a chubby Poopik. • Play, bathe and tuck it in. Every stat matters. • Tap the poop to clean it up before it makes your pet sick. • Walk. Your daily steps from Apple Health turn into exercise for your pet. • Play minigames: Poop Dodge, City Run and Dance Memory. EVERYWHERE YOU ARE • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your pet at a glance. • Care actions right from a widget, no need to open the app. • Dynamic Island alert when there is poop to clean. • Apple Watch app and complications, so your Poopik is on your wrist. LIFE GOES ON • Real time, real decay. Your pet keeps living while the app is closed. • Sleep schedule. It rests at night, and can match your own sleep from Apple Health. • Generations. When a pet passes, the next one carries the family line. PRIVACY No accounts, no ads, no analytics. Everything stays on your device.

Hatch an egg and keep what comes out of it alive. Eggling lives in real time, whether the app is open or not. It gets hungry, it gets bored, it makes a mess and it falls ill, at the moments those things would really happen. Close the app for an afternoon and you come back to what happened while you were gone. Look after it Feed it meals, or snacks when it needs cheering up. Clean up after it before the mess makes it ill. Give it medicine when it's poorly. Turn the light off at bedtime so it can sleep. Scold it when it's playing up — but only then, because it beeps the same way when it's genuinely asking for something, and telling the two apart is the whole skill. It calls you When it's starving or miserable, your phone calls you, and it keeps calling every hour you leave it. You get a warning before the mess makes it ill, and a reminder if the light is still on at bedtime. A pet that's looked after well hardly calls at all. Watch it grow up It starts as a tiny baby and grows through child and teen into an adult over about four days. How it turns out depends on how you raised it: its discipline, how many times it was let down, and whether it lived on snacks. Play with it A game of higher or lower.
