Nubi

Read full description

Nubi is a virtual pet that lives in real time. It gets hungry while you are at work, sleepy at night, and a little bored when you forget it. Come back a few times a day and it grows up right in front of you. A PET THAT ACTUALLY GROWS • Day by day milestones: a first hair, a first tooth, braces, a growth spurt • 50 forms to discover in the album, shaped by how you care for it • Four traits, Gourmet, Sparkle, Dreamer and Rascal, that change its look and mood • Bond that builds over weeks, not minutes CARE THAT FEELS REAL • Feed from a pantry of snacks and meals • Wash with real lather: scrub, rinse, sparkle • Tuck it in for a nap and let energy refill • Pet it, talk to it, keep its streak alive SIX MINI GAMES Catch snacks, match pairs, hunt socks, repeat the rhythm, stack blocks, spot the odd one out. Every round fills Fun and pays coins by score. Two free rounds per game every day. DAILY TASKS AND COINS Three small tasks each day. Finish them for coins and a bond bonus. Spend coins on 14 hats, 5 buddies, 8 room decorations and 7 rooms. Coin packs are optional and there are no ads, ever. ON YOUR WRIST Nubi comes with an Apple Watch app. Check how your pet is doing, feed it or pet it straight from your wrist. Add a complication and your pet sits right on your watch face, changing as it grows. WIDGETS Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your pet and its needs, and let you snack or pet it without opening the app. SHARE Story and post cards with today's numbers, ready for Instagram. Made for anyone who misses their Tamagotchi. Free to play, offline friendly, no account needed.

Meet Neo, your first virtual pet! Choose an octopus, a cat, a dog, a bunny or a duck, give it a name and take care of it every day: feed it, give it a bubbly bath, tuck it into bed and make it giggle with tickles. Your pet grows with you: it starts as a baby and becomes a kid, a teen and a grown-up. It never gets sick or goes away — if you forget it, it just gets a little sad until you care for it again. - 27 mini-games to earn coins: catch the food, jump, memory, bubbles, fishing, follow the tune, maze, bowling, puzzle, tic-tac-toe, connect four and many more. - Over 100 wardrobe items: hats, glasses, clothes and accessories that unlock as you level up. - A kitchen with foods that open up as your pet grows. - Talk to it and it repeats you in a funny voice (your voice is never saved and never leaves the phone). - Day and night follow the real time: when it gets dark, it's bedtime. - Levels and growth: real care raises affection, level and life stage. Made with love by Neobit for the whole family: • Truly 100% free: no ads and no purchases. • Works without internet, anytime and anywhere. • No sign-up, no accounts and no shared data. • Protected "For parents" area with sound, voice and notification settings.
