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.

Turn the world until broken paths become one. LOCKFRAME is a perspective runner. Your runner never stops. The road in front of it looks broken, until you rotate the camera and the pieces line up. Release at the right moment to LOCK the frame and the illusion becomes a real path. THE MORE PRECISE, THE BETTER Every LOCK is graded: LOCK, GREAT, PERFECT and INSANE. Precise locks build your combo and your score. A missed alignment ends the run. A JOURNEY THROUGH TÜRKİYE Run through İstanbul, Cappadocia and Bodrum, then reach the Floating City. Every world has its own landmarks, obstacles and missions. MISSIONS AND MASTERY Each world has 10 missions. Complete them to earn LF and unlock the next world, and master every world in World Runs. DAILY FRAME A new challenge every day at 00:00 UTC. The same route for every player, with no powers and no revives. Only skill counts. With Game Center, compare your distance on the world ranking. LOCK EFFECTS Make every LOCK yours with collectible effects. APPLE WATCH Play on your wrist: turn the Digital Crown to find the angle, tap to LOCK. Your Watch best appears on your iPhone. PROGRESS THAT FOLLOWS YOU Your progress and your Prism are backed up and restored when you reinstall. LOCKFRAME is free to play. Prism, the premium currency, can be bought with In-App Purchase; rewarded ads are optional. No account is required.
