Doxie Stretch support

Swipe over the garden or tap the direction arrows. In Settings, choose Left, Center, Right, or Off for the arrow buttons. Swipes work with every layout. You cannot turn directly back into Appa’s body. Use the cheese button to regain his attention.

A cat can pull him toward the fence; a squirrel briefly makes him ignore steering. Offer cheese to regain his attention. When dry, he also refuses a requested turn into an active puddle. He can still enter water by moving forward or following a distraction.

You start every run with three treats and earn one more for each five edible snacks. Cheese restores Appa’s attention and interrupts a two-second stick chew. It cannot end a bathroom stop or remove the slowdown from water. Your supply starts fresh with each run.

Every ten snacks increases his normal pace. A cashew on the board makes him move at 1.5× that pace until he eats it. If his head is in a puddle, he moves at 0.25× instead. These effects do not multiply together, and the clock keeps its normal pace.

Longer comes first. For equal lengths, the faster time to reach that length wins. Surviving longer afterward does not worsen that score. Scores stay on your device; there is no online leaderboard.

Bathroom breaks and stick chewing are part of the challenge. The garden and score clock keep running. Use Pause to freeze the whole run. Backgrounding the app and the dismissible tutorial cards also pause all game timers.

No. All game artwork, audio, play, settings, and personal bests work offline. Settings → Privacy policy opens this website in your external browser, which needs an internet connection.

Open Settings from the home screen to adjust music and effects separately. How to Play keeps the rules available at any time. Your first run shows tutorial hints automatically. Choose Play with Tutorial beneath Play on the home screen to see all those hints again as you encounter each event during that run.

There is no account, cloud save, or developer-managed transfer. Scores and settings are saved locally. We cannot recover data removed from the device. An unfinished run may be lost if the operating system closes the app.

On Android, open system Settings → Apps → Doxie Stretch → Storage, then choose Clear storage or Clear data; names vary by device. Removing the app also removes its local app storage. On iOS, use Delete App rather than Offload App to remove local data. This resets personal bests, settings, and first-run guidance. Manage any separate device backup copies through your device or backup provider. See the privacy policy.

Close and reopen the app, check your music/effects and control settings, and use the latest available version. If the issue continues, contact us with the steps that reproduce it. Avoid uninstalling or clearing storage as a first step, because that removes local scores and settings.
