Komopa vs TamaShell

Komopa is a game about little virtual pets — Komos — who live on your steps. Hatch a Komo, give it a name, and keep it fed and happy — and the only way to do that is to walk. Your real-world steps are the currency. There is nothing else to spend, and steps are never for sale. WALK, AND YOUR KOMO EATS Steps become food automatically, whether the app is open or not. Walking is never wasted. Feed fixes hunger; play fixes mood. They're separate on purpose. YOUR KOMO GROWS Care for it over days and it evolves through three stages — when you decide it's time. Watch it go from a wide-eyed baby to a grown companion that remembers every walk you took together. MAKE A HOME Decorate your Komo's room with things you earned by walking: walls, floors, windows, rugs. Every item costs steps, and only steps. KEEP A JOURNAL Your Komo writes down the moments that matter — first meal, first evolution, the day you walked a milestone — in its own voice. SHARE A CARD Turn your Komo and its room into a picture worth sending to someone. FOUR SPECIES Sprout, Mochi, Ember and Nimbus — each with its own personality and its own way of talking to you. TWO PROMISES Your Komo never dies. Neglect makes it sad, and you can see that it's sad — but it is always waiting, and it forgives you quickly. Nothing in Komopa punishes you for having a life. Your data stays yours. Komopa has no accounts, no servers, and no analytics. Your step data never leaves your iPhone. Komopa reads your step count from Apple Health. It never writes to Health, and hand-typed entries don't count.

TamaShell is a virtual pet that lives entirely inside a fake computer terminal. Hatch an egg, then keep your pet fed, clean, rested, and happy using simple typed commands or on screen buttons. Your pet keeps living in real time, even while the app is closed, so a few days of neglect will actually catch up with you. Along the way there is a full day and night cycle, a coin economy you can earn by putting your pet to work, a shop for food and room decorations, and more... who knows what hides away in the terminal? If your pet dies, it does not just disappear. Reset and start the next generation. Raise a pet. Keep the terminal alive.
