Deskritter

Deskritter is a simple cross-platform desktop buddy! It has several different behaviors, including wandering, sleeping, and following your cursor. You can interact with it by petting it, picking it up, and swinging it around.

To pick up Deskritter, click and drag it! To pet it, hover your mouse over it and move it back and forth quickly. To change the settings (volume and disabling/enabling mouse chasing), right click it.

This is Deskritter's very first iteration. In the future, I hope to add image customization, mood/energy stats for more interesting behavior, additional behaviors, and OSX support (please contact me if you'd be interested in helping me test an OSX version). For now it's just a digital toy, but eventually, I'd like to make a version with self care features!

The default character is Peripat. Mouse cursor sprites from here!
