Desktop Gremlins places a mischievous creature directly on your screen that grows through four distinct forms as you interact with it. Neglect to feed and pet your gremlin and it will sabotage your open windows and applications out of spite. This novelty pet blurs the line between desktop companion and chaotic nuisance for those wanting unpredictable screen-based entertainment.
