Formidable StudioBuilt for the wrist
Designing a complete sandbox around the constraints of Apple Watch: the Digital Crown, haptics, and two-minute sessions.
Press kit
An entire sandbox world. On Apple Watch.
WatchBlocks is a native 2D sandbox survival game that treats Apple Watch as a real game platform, not a companion screen. Players mine, craft, build, farm, fight, and explore from their wrist, then continue the same world on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
