A tiny pixel pet moves into a cozy 3D room on your iPhone. Feed, play, rest, clean, and pet. The way you care decides which adult form it grows into. Raise it differently and you get a different result: a relaxing idle pet game where the goal is to complete the whole collection. ▼ Features 【Live together in a 3D room】 The room has real depth. Tap the floor and your pet walks over, pet it and it beams, and it lets you know when it is hungry. When the room gets messy, you can actually see the dust and stains, so you know when to clean. The light shifts from morning to noon, dusk, and night, and at bedtime your pet lies down in its bed and sleeps. 【Grown-ups relax on a 3D island】 Once a pet reaches its adult form, you can let it live on the island. Spin the island with a swipe and watch your friends wander between the trees and the pond. At night, everyone sleeps. 【Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets】 Put the pet you're raising on your Lock Screen or a small widget to see its mood and progress at a glance. A wide widget shows your island friends (up to 8). 【They also live in the Dynamic Island (supported models)】 On supported iPhones, your pet stays in the Dynamic Island at the top of the screen and shows what it is up to at a glance: the time left on an outing, a souvenir waiting for you, napping, or feeling hungry. Even with the app closed, it switches on its own when your pet comes home or goes to bed. 【Your app icon becomes your pet】 Choose "Current pet" in Settings and the app icon on your Home Screen becomes the pet you are raising right now. When it evolves, the icon changes too. 【Evolution shaped by your care】 Forest, flame, water, star... the way you care decides which adult form a child grows into. The same species can end up looking completely different. 17 species plus one secret, and 84 forms to complete the collection. In the collection you can spin each 3D figure with your finger, read every pet's little story, and see its postcards. 【Bonds and the island】 Even after growing up, petting keeps raising the bond. Let a favorite live on the island and it brings you coins every day according to its bond level: a warm little economy. 【Minigames】 - Fruit Catch: catch falling fruit on your pet's head in the 3D room (while your pet is out or asleep, an island friend catches in its place) - Expedition: pick 2 to 4 island friends for an auto battle you watch unfold (3D) - Memory Match: a card-matching game with pets from your collection (unlocks at 4 registered forms) 【Outings and travel postcards】 Send your pet on an outing and it comes back later with coins, XP, and a souvenir. While it is out, it is not in the room, and it always comes home by bedtime. There are 20 souvenirs to collect. Each trip also brings a postcard of your pet, sometimes with island friends, at one of 12 places, from flower fields to hot springs. Time of day and weather vary, and rare ones show rainbows, whales, auroras, and more. Favorite, save, and share them in the Postcards tab. 【Daily task】 Clear one task a day for coins and XP. Watch a video to double the reward. ▼ Play at your own pace - Hunger and happiness fall slowly, and a short absence never kills your pet (only 48 hours of complete neglect does) - If hunger and happiness have never hit zero, a gentle notification lets you know before they do (until your pet grows up, when notifications are on) - No penalty for coming back after a while. The design is "oh, welcome back" - When a pet is fully grown, choose whether it graduates into a memory or keeps living on the island - Tap "Back up now" in Settings to save to iCloud and continue after switching phones or reinstalling Spend a little time with a little life on a little screen. Free to play with ads; a one-time Remove Ads purchase turns them off. Put Pixel Islet in your pocket today.

Hatch an egg and keep what comes out of it alive. Eggling lives in real time, whether the app is open or not. It gets hungry, it gets bored, it makes a mess and it falls ill, at the moments those things would really happen. Close the app for an afternoon and you come back to what happened while you were gone. Look after it Feed it meals, or snacks when it needs cheering up. Clean up after it before the mess makes it ill. Give it medicine when it's poorly. Turn the light off at bedtime so it can sleep. Scold it when it's playing up — but only then, because it beeps the same way when it's genuinely asking for something, and telling the two apart is the whole skill. It calls you When it's starving or miserable, your phone calls you, and it keeps calling every hour you leave it. You get a warning before the mess makes it ill, and a reminder if the light is still on at bedtime. A pet that's looked after well hardly calls at all. Watch it grow up It starts as a tiny baby and grows through child and teen into an adult over about four days. How it turns out depends on how you raised it: its discipline, how many times it was let down, and whether it lived on snacks. Play with it A game of higher or lower. You see a number; guess whether the next one is higher or lower. Win three rounds out of five and it's delighted — and every game takes a gram off. From your Lock Screen Put it on your Home Screen or Lock Screen and see how it's doing at a glance. When it needs feeding, cleaning, treating or putting to bed, do it from the widget without opening the app. Make it yours Choose a creature and a shell. Seasonal themes dress the whole app — the case, the screen and the pet — for Halloween, Christmas and Easter, and you can wear them all year. Everything unlocks every shell and every creature, including the ones added in future updates. Cosmetics are the only thing for sale. Nothing you buy feeds it, heals it or keeps it alive; that's down to you. Nothing leaves your device No account, no ads, no tracking. The pet lives on your iPhone or iPad and Eggling collects nothing about you. In English, Portuguese, French and Spanish. For iPhone and iPad.
