Fishsie
Read full descriptionHide full description
Fishsie is a cozy pocket aquarium. Raise happy fish, breed brand-new ones, and decorate a tank that is entirely yours — with no account and no ads. Open it for ten seconds while the kettle boils, or sit and watch the light move through the water. Nothing here is in a hurry. WHAT YOU DO • Feed your fish, and drag a finger so they follow you — happy fish leave coins behind • Collect 37 species, from a clownfish to a leafy sea dragon, an octopus and a whale • Breed pairs and hatch eggs: babies inherit both parents' colours and abilities, so a new fish is genuinely new • Decorate with 65 corals, plants, rocks, shells and shipwrecks — drag anything exactly where you want it • Recolour and rename every fish, and paint the water and the sand to match • Expand the tank up to five times its size, for a shoal of up to 80 • Fill the Fishdex, unlock nine achievements, and keep a daily streak going • Take a cinematic underwater tour, record a GIF of it, and share a picture of your tank IT PLAYS OFFLINE Your aquarium lives on this device. On a plane, underground, with no signal at all — it opens, your fish are there, and they have been getting on without you. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. No profile. No ads. No trackers. We collect no personal data, because there is no server for it to go to: your tank is stored in your own device's storage, and we could not read it if we wanted to. That makes this a safe game to hand to a child. ONE PURCHASE, AND THAT IS ALL No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription, nothing locked behind a second payment. Every fish, every decoration and every tank upgrade is earned by playing. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hindi. And once you have unlocked every achievement, the shop will offer you something else entirely. ALSO FREE IN YOUR BROWSER Fishsie began as a browser game and still is one. Play it free at www.fishsie.com, on any device, with nothing to install — try the whole thing before you buy. Buying the app puts the same tank on your home screen and supports a solo developer in Seattle. Made by Conbinience LLC, a small company in Seattle. Privacy policy: https://www.fishsie.com/privacy

Thirty years of gaming in one little shell. Eggbits is a retro virtual pet game. Your creature begins as black pixels on an LCD screen and grows through four gaming eras: LCD, a four-green handheld, 8-bit and 16-bit. Each era has its own colors, sounds and mini-game. CARE, PLAY AND GROW Feed, treat, clean and care for your creatures using touch controls or the A, B and C buttons. Their needs change in real time, even while the app is closed. Optional local notifications remind you when they need attention. Your care shapes their evolution: discover their forms in the Chronodex. TEN SPECIES, ONE FAMILY Adopt Original, Raccoon, Glouma, Brindo, Renardeau, Hibouille, Nuagin, Mousso, Loutrine or Axolo. Adults can lay an egg and continue their family line. Train speed, jumping, strength and stamina, then enter the daily Stadium Grand Prix. A LITTLE DAILY RITUAL Play four era-inspired mini-games, beat your records and earn joy for your creatures. Keep your care streak going and reach milestones at 7, 30, 100 and 365 days. YOUR WAY TO PLAY Choose Cozy mode with no death, or Retro mode. Choose from three menu themes: Night, Neon and Sun. Three care-screen presentations and collapsible sections in Family, Boarding and Stadium let you make the game your own. Keep your creatures close with the iPhone widget and companion Apple Watch app. PAUSE THEIR TIME, KEEP THEIR STORY Board a creature to pause its needs and aging, then bring it back when a slot is free. Family brings the family tree and Chronodex together, with portraits preserving your companions’ final forms. Rare eggs may also hatch shiny creatures. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL EXTRAS Eggbits is free with banner ads. There are no automatic interstitials after a game; support ads and rewarded videos are optional. No Ads permanently removes all ads.
