About

Critter Patch

Features
Read full description

Critter Patch is a puzzle game for Apple Watch about clearing critters and growing a garden. Tap a group of two or more matching critters to clear it. The critters above drop into the gap, and bigger groups are worth a lot more. Boards take about a minute. Every critter you clear turns into a petal, and petals make your garden grow. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY • Garden Path: 120 levels in six chapters. Reach the target score to pass, then come back for three stars. • Daily Seed: one new board a day, the same for everybody. Play it as often as you like; your best run of the day is your score. • Sprout Rush: new rows keep growing in, a little faster each time. Don't let a column overflow. • Daydream: endless boards with no target and no game over. Optional Game Center leaderboards for the Daily Seed, Sprout Rush, and your Garden Path stars. GARDEN HELPERS • Sunflowers join any group. • Golden Leaves double a group's points. • Watering Cans clear a whole column, pebbles included. • Clear the whole board for a Tidy Patch bonus. YOUR GARDEN Win new seeds as you play and grow 24 plants, including roses, a pumpkin and a small apple tree. A critter comes to visit whenever something blooms. ON YOUR WRIST • One tap clears a group. Or turn the Digital Crown to move between groups and clear with a tap or double tap on supported models. Prefer to look first? Turn off Quick Clear. • Undo and Hint are in the pause menu. Missing a target costs nothing. • Big Critters switches to a 5×5 board with larger critters. • Critters differ by shape as well as color, with optional pattern marks for color blindness. VoiceOver, Reduce Motion and Larger Text are supported. • Sound starts off, so the game stays quiet until you want it. Critter Patch works offline and has no ads or in-app purchases. Your progress stays on your watch.
