''[[Pocket God]]'' is a [[Killer App|smash-hit]] app and [[A God GameIs You|godGod gameGame]] for the iPod Touch/iPhone. The app was created by Dave Castelnuovo and Allan Dye, of Bolt Creative, a San Francisco-based developer. In ''Pocket God'', you play as a god who has control over a race of islanders called "Pygmies". You can [[Video Game Caring Potential|reward them with gifts]] or [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|kill them]]. There can be up to six pygmies at a time and if killed, you can [[Death Is Cheap|bring them back]]. You also have control over other things as well, such as animals and the weather. The app is constantly updating and has had forty-two episodes released so far. Plenty more are to come.

It has received a sequel/spin-off for the iPad: "''[[Recycled in Space|Pocket God: Journey To Uranus]]"''.
