Pocket God Walk Through All the Episodes
In Pocket God (by Bolt Creative) you determine the adventures and fates of six pygmies - over and over again. Pocket God is one of the most popular iPhone apps of all-time. It has remained in the App Store Top Paid apps list since it was first available for the iPhone and iPod touch back in January 2009.
From it's humble beginnings (where about all you could do was poke and throw pygmies), Pocket God has had 37 episodic updates. Each update added more to the pygmies universe - more islands, more mini-games, and more for you to do with the pygmies.
We've put together a Pocket God walkthrough of sorts through all the episodes in the order they were introduced - an episode guide, really.
To make it even more interesting we've chosen a challenge for each episode (some simple, some difficult) to test your Pocket God knowledge and skills. You can accomplish all the challenges in latest version of Pocket God. Consider yourself an elite Pocket God player if you accomplish them all. Enjoy!
Episode 1: "Nowhere To Go, Nothin' To Do"
