A surreal idle creature-raising game starring the shoebill - the famously motionless bird. It never chases. It stands perfectly still, lies in wait, and strikes prey the moment it drifts into range. The longer you leave it idle, the weirder the forms it morphs into. HOW TO PLAY - Stand still and lie in wait. The longer you wait, the more the "stillness gauge" fills - Tap prey that enters striking range to snatch it in one strike. With a full gauge, sweep everything in range at once - It evolves from how much it eats PLUS how long you leave it idle - Evolutions are random - you'll keep idling to see the next weird form FEATURES - An ambush-and-strike core mechanic unique to a bird that never moves: time your strike, read the range, build the stillness gauge - A "Dex" of 15 evolution forms to collect - Branching surreal evolutions: monster, sage, human society, motionless deity, and more - Hidden evolutions (night-only, gold-drenched, and others) - Idle-friendly: prey drifts into range while you're away. Great one-handed game - A quietly touching story and endings * Don't worry - the prey that gets caught is actually alive and well, living happily in another swamp. Cute, yet a little unsettling. You'll smile, then feel something warm. Why not raise a bird that never moves?

Cats stroll across the tatami, and the room fills up. A cat only drops coins when it passes the middle of the mat. A cat stuck behind another one pays nothing until it gets there — and cats never step aside. Clearing the jam is your job. Spilled tea, a cushion left out, a ball of fur. Tap the clutter off the tatami and the cats start moving again. Butterflies and golden paper cranes drift by now and then. Catch them. Spend your coins on more mats and more cats will come. The more cats, the easier it jams. That tension is the whole game. ■ Forty cats to collect A kitten, a calico, a bobtail, a beckoning cat, a kotatsu cat, a moon-viewing cat, a two-tailed nekomata, and a cat god. Each one carries its own small story — tap it in the encyclopedia to read it. ■ Start over, keep the multiplier Re-lay the room and you keep a permanent multiplier based on everything you have earned. Collecting all forty runs through it. ■ It runs while you are away The cats keep walking with the app closed. A treasure chest appears every four hours and stacks up to four, so a day away costs you nothing. ■ A room, a garden, a pond Paper screens, a hanging scroll, a folding screen, a stone lantern, an engawa. Goldfish circle the pond outside. The room grows as you add mats. Watch it idle, or clear every mess yourself. Play it at whatever distance suits you.
