ASCII TOYS

Calming haptic fidgets

Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

A fullscreen playground of interactive ASCII-art toys. Grow a bonsai. Touch grass. Switch themes, layer effects. One unlock - yours forever. ASCII Toys is a quiet little playground. Every screen is an ASCII-art toy you can play with directly — no terminal, no chrome, no menus in the way. Just monospaced glyphs filling the whole display, reacting to your touch. — THEMES & EFFECTS — Swap the whole palette anytime: Default Dark, Default Light, Klein Blue (paper + IKB), Phosphor Green, Amber CRT, and more. Layer in optional Metal-shader effects — soft Glow, punchy Bloom, faux-HDR push, and a real CRT pass with scanlines and a barrel warp. Any theme × any effect stack is valid. — ONE UNLOCK, FOREVER — Bonsai, Globe, and Camera are free to play. A single one-time purchase unlocks the rest: every toy, every theme, every effect — and every new toy added in future updates. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. — DESIGNED FOR QUIET TIME — ASCII Toys is meant for the in-between moments: the pause before a meeting, the wait at the coffee shop, the breath before sleep. Open it, touch the screen, watch something small grow. Crafted with love by an independent developer. Terms and conditions: https://www.insula.company/terms/ascii-toys

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• New toy — Spinner: flick it and let it ride. One good flick free-wheels for over half a minute, ticking like struck metal the whole way down. • Five spinner silhouettes — TRI, BAR, STAR, GEAR, NINJA — swap them mid-spin without losing momentum • Much smoother framerates on the busiest toys, Grass and Campfire especially • Redeem an offer code straight from the Colophon
