App developer lazarche announced on May 25 that the free mascot app “TaskPals]was released on Steam. Since its launch, the app has continued to increase the number of players connected at the same time, and it seems that the number of users is gradually increasing.
“TaskPals” is a free mascot app with pixelated animals walking around in your taskbar. There are seven types of pets available, including German shepherds, calico cats, and turtles, and up to four can appear at the same time. Two more pets are added by purchasing developer-backed DLC.
This application has two modes, “Friendly” and “Annoyed”. By clicking on the pet in Friendly, you can enjoy the reaction at the time of clicking. A German shepherd sits, a turtle hides in its shell, and so on. In Annoyed, on the other hand, your pet will run away when you hover your mouse cursor over it. If you don’t want to be disturbed by clicking each app on the taskbar, you should use this. In addition to customizing the walking range of the pet, you can also adjust the display position and size of the pet. Consideration is given so as not to interfere with the user’s operations.
Since its release, the number of users has steadily increased. Looking at the number of concurrent players, it was in the single digits immediately after the release, but exceeded 100 on June 2nd, and on July 10th, it hit a record high of 1018 players.SteamDB). At the time of writing this article, 94% of 149 reviews in Steam user reviews received a favorable “very favorable” status. In the reviews, in addition to the cuteness of pets such as turtles and cats, the simple setting screen has been well received. The app isn’t particularly useful, but the pixelated animals roaming the bottom of the screen are purely adorable. It seems that there is a charm that makes you want to start it while working. Since it can be easily registered as a startup application from the setting screen, it seems that some people say that it has been running since installation.
The developer, lazarche, is interacting with users on the Steam forum. He’s open to adding animals, including a new cat and a spot-billed duck parent and child. It seems that there are also plans for patches to improve convenience, such as support for dual monitor environments and improved behavior when launching full-screen apps. If you want to add color to your taskbar, why not try this app with cute pixel art animals?

I play a lot of games that interest me, but if I let it go, I end up playing strategy games endlessly.But what I like most is the fast-paced 3D action
