It walks.
Along the bottom edge, at the pace of a small animal. It turns around at the window edges and never covers what you are reading.
Chrome extension · 27 KB · free
A tiny animal walks along the bottom edge of every page you open.
It dozes off on its own, wakes up when you scroll, and hops when you click it. That is the whole product — no meter to fill, nothing to feed.

Pixel Pets is in review at the Chrome Web Store. This page will link straight to the listing as soon as it clears.
One is already walking along the bottom of this window. Click it and it will hop.
What it does
Four behaviours, and that is the lot.
Every sprite below is the real thing, drawn by the same code that runs inside the extension.
It sleeps.
Walk, sit, doze — it cycles through the three on its own. Scrolling the page wakes a sleeping pet up.
It hops when clicked.
Click the pet and it hops. That is the entire interaction. Nothing to feed, no streak to keep up.
It knows when to leave.
Paused in background tabs, hidden over fullscreen video, absent from printouts, and off entirely on any site you name.
Eight pets

Three come free. Click any of them — including the five Pro ones — and it takes over the bottom of this window, so you can watch what you would be buying.

How Pro reaches you
Pay through Creem. Your licence key appears on the confirmation page as soon as the payment clears, and stays available there for 24 hours. Copy it, open the extension's Options page, and paste it into the Licence box — the pets unlock immediately. Nothing arrives by e-mail, so nothing can land in a spam folder.
Creem is the merchant of record, so your card details go to them and never reach us. Prices are in USD; tax is added at checkout where the law requires it. If the key does not appear, write to slince1030@gmail.com with your order number and we will send it by hand.
Questions
Before you install.
Will it slow my browser down?
One animation loop drives every pet on the page. Each pet is ninety pixels drawn as about a dozen rectangles, and the loop stops completely in background tabs. The whole extension is 27 KB.
Can it read the pages I visit?
No. It adds one container of its own to the bottom of the page and never reads or changes anything else. A free installation makes no network requests at all — there is no server for it to talk to.
The full details are in the privacy policy.
What about video calls and full-screen video?
The pet hides whenever anything on the page is fullscreen, and it never appears on printouts. For a site you would rather keep serious, open the toolbar popup and switch it off there — the setting sticks for that domain.
Where does my licence key come from?
From the payment confirmation page, right after checkout. It stays readable there for 24 hours. Paste it into the extension's Options page to unlock the Pro pets.
How many computers can one key cover?
3. Each browser you activate takes one slot; deactivating it in the Options page gives the slot back, so moving to a new machine costs nothing.
Can I get a refund?
Yes — within 14 days, for any reason, including "I changed my mind". Write to slince1030@gmail.com with your order number. The refund policy spells out the rest.
Firefox? Safari?
Not yet. Today it works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc and other Chromium browsers, all installed from the same Chrome Web Store listing.
Who makes this?
One developer. Support goes to slince1030@gmail.com and is answered by the person who wrote the code.
