Pawsies turns the pet you love into a tiny pixel companion who lives in a room that feels familiar. Add photos of your pet and room to create a personalized little world. Watch your companion wander, nap, eat, drink, play with toys, and settle into their own routines. Care continues while you are away, so every return feels like stepping back into a living space rather than restarting a game. MAKE IT THEIRS • Create personalized pixel pets from photos you choose • Transform a room into day, golden-hour, and night scenes • Arrange bowls, beds, litter boxes, scratchers, and toys • Keep multiple pets across multiple rooms SMALL MOMENTS, REAL PERSONALITY • Each pet has independent needs, energy, mood, and preferences • Pets explore, sleep, play, and visit useful items on their own • Treats and hands-on play interrupt the routine in delightful ways • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep their care close PLAY AT YOUR OWN PACE Earn Pawprints through care and play to unlock room items. Optional consumable Paw Gems are used only when you choose to create an additional personalized pet or room. The base experience includes a default pet and room, and no social login is required.

Raise a hacker, fight scammers: DeadlineDave is a hacker tamagotchi — a tiny terminal world that lives in your pocket. Meet Dave: a hoodie-wearing hacker who never leaves his basement den. Keep him fed, caffeinated and awake while he takes shady gigs for cash and reputation. Let his energy hit zero and he burns out face-down on the keyboard. WHAT YOU DO - Keep Dave alive — coffee, pizza and actual sleep manage his energy and focus - Work the job board — from recovering Xbox accounts to auditing a very sketchy "friend's" router - Pull off heists — rare, high-stakes vigilante ops against scammers. Burn out mid-op and it all falls apart - Watch the heat — push your luck and Dave gets traced, loses cash, and has to lay low - Crack the code — solve a quick password mini-game after jobs for bonus cash BUILD YOUR LEGEND - A story to finish — a mysterious contact recruits you to take down SCADENCE, the boss behind every scam - Upgrade your rig — permanent gear that changes how Dave works - Deck out the den — neon signs, lava lamps, plants and six emoji pets that live in the room - Make Dave yours — 11 hacker looks, from classic hoodie to eyepatch pirate - Prestige — burn your identity and start over stronger - Achievements — for grinding, heisting, collecting… and getting caught IT LIVES OUTSIDE THE APP - Live Activities & Dynamic Island track your heist in real time - A home-screen widget keeps an eye on Dave - Notifications warn you before he burns out No accounts. No ads. No in-app purchases. Just you and a very tired hacker. ``` ## What's New (v1.0) ``` First release. Meet Dave — feed him, take jobs, pull off heists, and see if you can take down the scammer king. Thanks for playing!
