Your very own pet, living right on your home screen. Widgepets is a tiny creature that lives in your widget โ€” and it needs you. Feed it, play with it, and watch it grow from an egg into a one-of-a-kind companion. Every time you glance at your phone, there it is: happy when you've cared for it, sleepy at night, a little hungry when you've been away too long. A PET THAT'S ALWAYS THERE Add your Widgepet to your home screen and it becomes part of your day โ€” no app to open, just glance and care. RAISE IT FROM AN EGG Hatch an egg and your pet grows through baby, child, teen, and adult. Feed, rest, play, and pet to keep it thriving. ONE OF A KIND Every pet's look is procedurally generated โ€” its colors, features, and expressions are yours alone. No two are ever the same. EIGHT SPECIES TO COLLECT Start with two free species, then unlock all eight โ€” Leaflet, Ember, Dewdrop, Pebble, Cloudpuff, Starling, Mochi, and Blossom โ€” with one small purchase. IT REMEMBERS YOU Your pet gently lets you know when it's hungry or misses you, and every raised pet joins your album. Free to play, supported by ads. No accounts, ever.

Hatching Egg Virtual Pet Game

It starts with a pacifier. It grows into quite a character. In Hatching Egg, you raise a baby Egg with needs, moods and a lot to say. Watch its first little stage of life give way to a lively personality, then keep building toward the surprise waiting inside its shell. GROWING UP IS THE FIRST CHAPTER Your Egg begins in its 0-6 month baby stage, complete with a pacifier and its own baby voice. Be there for its animated transformation into a grown Egg. Its needs continue to change as you spend time together: a meal, a wash, a rest or a game can make a different kind of moment. KEEP A SURPRISE IN THE MAKING Hatch progress builds through care and play over time. Return to your Egg, keep its routine going and work toward the moment its shell is ready to open. Reveal a new character and welcome it into your collection. There is more to look forward to after babyhood. A PERSONALITY YOU GET TO KNOW Wake a sleepy Egg, try a new outfit or take it into a game. It might protest, get excited or turn the moment into a small drama. More than 2,000 expressive voice lines bring humor to conversations and everyday interactions. Its hunger, tiredness and surroundings help shape its responses. PLAY TOGETHER. EXPECT OPINIONS. Egg Bounce puts your companion among platforms and collectible stars, with plenty to say about the adventure. Egg Bowling swaps the jumps for a stretchy pull, a rolling Egg and a row of pins. Your companion takes part in the action, reacting as the round unfolds. Earn stars through play and choose what to unlock next. Give your Egg a look of its own by combining accessories, and choose a setting for your time together. The character you care for, dress and play with is the same one growing toward its next surprise. No advertisements or account required. Character dialogue is currently in English. An optional subscription unlocks character hatching, Egg Bowling, and premium accessories and rooms. Hatch progress must also be completed before a character can hatch.
