How to Play Belly
Everything you need to know about caring for your pixel pet companion on Apple Watch.
Welcome to Belly
Belly is a virtual pet game designed exclusively for Apple Watch. Your adorable pixel companion lives on your wrist, thriving when you stay active and engaged. The game is completely free to play with no paywalls—everything can be earned through gameplay.
The game rewards real-world activity: your daily steps convert to Hearts and coins, which keep your pet healthy and let you unlock cosmetics. Mini-games and social features add depth without demanding constant attention. It's designed to fit naturally into your life, not take over it.
Core Features
Walk & Earn Hearts
Your daily steps directly fuel your pet's health. Every 1,000 steps converts to 1 Heart, which restores your pet's health. Just wear your Apple Watch and walk normally—Belly syncs with Apple Health automatically.
💡 Pro tip: If steps aren't syncing, fully close and reopen the app. Check that Belly has Health permissions in your Watch settings.
Care for Your Pet
Your pixel companion has two vitals: Health and Happiness. Both slowly decay over time, encouraging daily check-ins. Use Hearts to restore health, and toys to boost happiness.
💡 Brush and Plush Mouse are free toys with 4-hour cooldowns. Use them daily!
Play Mini-Games
Three unique games test different skills: Catch the Treats, Whack-a-Mouse, and Cloud Climb. Each game rewards happiness and Hearts based on your score.
💡 Your first game each day is free. After that, games cost 5 coins per play.
Customize Everything
Express yourself with cosmetic items including seasonal outfits, cultural themes, and fun accessories. Change your pet's background environment too—from cozy autumn scenes to festive holiday themes. Your pet's look syncs to your watch complications and friends' views.
💡 Cosmetics are purely visual—there's no pay-to-win advantage.
Connect with Friends
Share your 6-digit friend code to add friends. Your pet's appearance and stats are visible to friends who visit.
💡 Adding a new friend gives you a one-time coin bonus!
