A cast, not a stat block
Nine birds across four rarities, each with a face and a temperament. The Legendary one is aware of this.

Feed a bird. End up with an empire.
The loop is short enough to do at a bus stop and long enough that you are still doing it at midnight.

1
Feed them
A hungry crow has opinions. Snacks first, schemes second.
-
2
Send them out
Pick a target, pick a crew, and wait about five seconds to find out whether that was a good idea.

Grow the hoard
Sell the junk, keep the treasure, buy a better perch. Then get another crow, because one is never the number.
What is in it
Six things that make a pile of bottle caps feel like a portfolio.
Jobs worth failing
A run comes back with loot or with a story. "Came back with nothing but vibes" is a real result.
A market that moves
Prices drift while you are away. That bottle cap you ignored for a week may be having a moment.
Sixty-three things to find
Every object has its own slot on the shelf, and the empty ones are impossible to miss. That is deliberate.
A base worth upgrading
Perches, a workshop, a watchtower. Each one makes the next crow worth having.
It works while you do not
Your crows keep going after you close the app. Come back to a pile of finds and a few complaints.
How it plays
Tap, send, wait, sell, upgrade, repeat. One hand, portrait, and a tutorial that knows when to stop.
The crows
Four rarities doing the same job with wildly different attitudes.
Common
Reliable, unbothered, faintly damp. Will fetch a bottle cap with total sincerity.
Rare
Faster, greedier, and convinced it deserves better work. It might be right.
Epic
Comes back with things you did not know the city had.
Legendary
Nobody has established where it goes. Nobody is going to ask.
Take the crow for a run
Ten things worth having, scattered across the rooftops. Collect all ten and the bird owes you something.
Hoard
0 / 10
Space, click or tap to flap. What you collect is kept between runs, so a crash costs you the run and nothing else.
Ten out of ten
The crow wrote you something
Ten pieces off the rooftops and one extremely pleased bird. It scratched a code onto the back of a receipt.
HOARD25
Open it in CrowstasticThe button hands the code to the game, so there is nothing to type. Your next purchase then arrives with 25% more on top of whatever it normally gives.
