Enter a living petri dish as a fragile organism and evolve into its apex threat. Predation is a landscape action roguelite built around cellular combat, adaptation, and replayable mutation drafts. Hunt nutrients, evade larger predators, challenge guardians, and raise control until you can conquer the dish. FOUR WAYS TO SURVIVE • Viral — spread infectious clouds and release short-lived virions. • Carrier — grow a mobile colony of larvae and support units. • Mantle — master close-range combat, digest fallen predators, and turn enzyme blooms into deadly zones. • Puppeteer — capture compatible organisms, use each host's natural ability, and escape before the host is destroyed. EVERY RUN EVOLVES Choose one of three mutations as you progress. Stack ranks, build around your body type, and combine mastered traits into rare foil evolutions. Different dishes change the pressure with new hazards, predators, and routes to the apex. BUILD YOUR CELL Unlock toys and auras, discover special pairings, and equip profile upgrades. Cosmetics give your organism a distinct identity while hidden synergies reward experimentation. PLAY YOUR WAY • Responsive touch controls designed for landscape play • Fast runs with four distinct body paths • Online profile, wallet, progression, and leaderboards • Offline play after an initial successful account sync • No advertising interruptions Predation includes optional in-app purchases for fixed Bio Coin packs. Bio Coins can be used for run boosts and most cosmetics. Profile Coins are earned by completing runs and can be used for permanent profile upgrades and selected cosmetics. Bio Coins and virtual goods have no cash value. Gameplay includes randomized mutations, drops, spawns, and run rewards, but Predation does not sell paid loot boxes or paid random item packs.

A tiny pet lives on your wrist. Pippet is a virtual pet made for Apple Watch — not a phone game squeezed onto a small screen. Glance at your wrist and your pet is there, doing its own thing. STROKE IT WITH THE DIGITAL CROWN Turn the crown slowly and feel every gentle tick in your wrist — like a purr you can actually feel. Spin fast and it giggles. YOUR STEPS ARE ITS FOOD Pippet feeds on your real activity. A good walk keeps your pet full and happy. Or lift a treat to its mouth with the crown and watch it chomp. ALWAYS IN VIEW Put your pet on your watch face. It changes expression through the day all on its own — hungry at noon, curled up asleep at night. IT GROWS WITH YOU Hatch a mystery egg, name your pet, and watch it grow through four life stages. Three species to discover, each with its own little plant crown. KIND BY DESIGN Your pet never dies. Neglect it and it just naps until you come back — one touch wakes it up. No guilt, no punishment. No subscription, no ads, no paid revivals. When you're ready for a new friend, your old one rests safely in your codex.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pippet at none against Predation's 5. Predation's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
