Lullkin

A tiny pixel creature that hangs out at the edge of your screen.

Own your very own Kin! it walks around the border of your monitor, chases and steals your cursor if it's feeling cheeky. Every now and then it wanders off-screen for a bit and comes with something it found. It's a desktop toy, and as much of a game as you'd like! Grow a bond between your little animal doing its own thing while you work, or get involved with interactive gamemodes with your Kin.

The window is transparent and click-through, so it sits on top of everything without blocking anything underneath. Close it when if you've had enough of your Kin :( The application saves between sessions.

If you want to -

• Pick it up and toss it around. It's fine with that
• View your findings. Tap ` (backtick/tilde) to open a little book of the things it's brought back. Drag stuff back into the world and it'll play with it.
• Survive in Tower Defense, earn gold and rarity based loot chests for surviving progressively harder waves of enemies!
• Go Fishing! Have your Kin fish while you do real life computer stuff, or close the application while fishing to idle fish, coming back to caught fish, occasional collectables and rare loot chests, while your away!
• Go Gardening! purchase seeds and grow your own garden, selling, cooking, and/or feed your kin in Tower Defense with your harvested crops.
• Make your Kin Stronger! Increase your kins stats when it levels up, by assigning stat points. Or dont, toggle xp popups off in settings. Settings' allows customisation for how'd like to experience your kin's company
