Ever wanted a cute pets game on your Apple Watch? Pixel Paws is the answer for you. It’s a fun and simple game where you can take care of digital pets on your Apple Watch, with no hidden in app purchases, ads, or tracking.
About Pixel Paws
Pixel Paws is a simple game, but still very cheerful nonetheless. You start off with one pet, but over time you can earn additional coins by taking care of and playing with your pet. Actions have a cooldown period, so you have to play periodically.
As you spend more time checking in with your pet, you can earn additional coins, which can be used to unlock different backgrounds, weather effects, environments, and more. You can also buy additional pets to take care of with these coins.
It’s a very simple game to understand, and it’s built to be kid-friendly. For a limited time, you can unlock a special launch bonus of 100 coins, which can buy you all sorts of things. It’s a nifty little game to mess with on your Apple Watch. There’s up to 12 companions you can unlock.
Download the app
Pixel Paws is available on the App Store for $2.99. It requires an Apple Watch running watchOS 11.2 or later. No subscriptions are required afterwards.
