What is Pocket God?

Pocket God is a popular mobile game app developed by Bolt Creative and initially released in 2009. In the game, players take on the role of a god who has control over a tribe of islanders living on a remote island. As the god figure, players are able to interact with the islanders in humorous and mischievous ways using the touch screen.

Some of the interactions include flicking islanders into the ocean or into volcanoes, dropping monkeys onto their village, or even using lightning to zap them. The ragdoll physics and exaggerated animations add entertainment value when players manipulate the helpless islanders. While seemingly dark and irreverent, the lightheartedness and cartoon style keep the game fun and silly rather than offensive.

One of the app's key appeals is the incorporation of episodic content updates that introduce new features, items, and ways to toy with the islanders. Over its decade-plus lifespan, Pocket God has amassed over 100 episodes spanning different themes, keeping the gameplay fresh and encouraging replayability. The concept and execution combined to make Pocket God popular when mobile gaming first took off, resulting in millions of downloads, a spin off series, merchandise, and even talk of a possible animated series.
