💜 Caring for your Glimkin
Your Glimkin has three little needs that drift down slowly over a day:
- 🍓 Hunger — Feed it treats from your bag (you start with some free ones).
- 💜 Happiness — Cuddle it, play games, or feed favorite treats.
- ⚡ Energy — Rest tops it back up; playing games uses a little.
They drop gently, so a quick daily check-in is plenty — this is cozy, not stressful.
✦ Earning Glims (the currency)
- 🎮 The Arcade — eight little mini-games, each pays out Glims.
- 🎁 Daily reward — a free gift every day from the Wishing Well.
- 📋 Quests — small daily & weekly goals with bonus Glims.
- 🌌 The Wishing Well — a free spin for Glims, new friends, and rare charms.
- 📅 Login calendar & 🎟️ Cozy Pass — rewards that grow the more days you visit.
