Apricot Simulator

You are an apricot.

You fell from the tree this morning. You landed in the grass — and you can roll.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Touch the left half of the screen and drag: a joystick appears under your finger and you roll where you push it. Let go and you coast to a stop on your own.
• Touch the right half and drag to orbit the camera around you. Pinch to zoom. Double-tap to reset the view.
• Roll into a tree trunk and bounce off it. Let a passer-by walk into you and feel the push.

REAL PHYSICS, NOT ANIMATION
Every roll, slope, bounce and spin is computed by a real-time physics core written for this app, 120 times a second. Nothing is pre-recorded — how you roll depends on where you push and what you hit.

WHAT HAPPENS AROUND YOU
Villagers walk past on their way to work. Pickers carry baskets between the rows. Children run. Dogs trot by, cats stalk, chickens peck at the dirt. A flock of sheep drifts through. Sometimes a tractor crosses the far end of the orchard. Birds pass overhead.

GRASS AND GROUND REBUILD AS YOU GO
The orchard's trees are generated once when the game opens, laid out procedurally, never from a fixed map. The grass and the ground beneath you are rebuilt the same way as you roll, always ready under your feet.

THE DAY PASSES
The sun crosses the sky. Noon becomes golden hour, golden hour becomes dusk, and then the stars come out and the crickets start. Twelve real minutes is one full day in the orchard.

QUIET BY DESIGN
No score, no timer, no enemies to fight. Six counters and eight achievements quietly keep track of your time as an apricot — passers-by, close encounters, your longest visit, days witnessed — if you care to look; nothing is required. A sound switch and a reduced-motion switch are in the menu. No in-app purchases. No ads. No account. No internet connection required — the game never sends anything anywhere, because there is nothing to send.

The orchard is in Malatya, where the apricots come from.

Recent changes:
Your garden progress is now safer. You can switch ambient sounds on or off in the menu, and they stop and resume properly when you leave or return to the game. On-screen hints are now easier to read.
