What is Deskworm?

This free-to-play desktop companion turns keyboard and mouse input into points for randomized hats and skins. You can combine items of the same rarity into higher-tier ones or feed items to your worm to add body segments. Pocket Mode keeps it in one place while its head follows your cursor.

For you if...

+you like collecting cosmetics at a casual pace
+you want friends' pets sharing your desktop online

Not for you if...

−you want active challenges rather than a background companion
