In one line
Cobble Gobble is a cozy walking game you play with your phone in your pocket: pick a European Old Town, and every street becomes a line of dots you collect by physically walking it — no timers, nothing tracked.
In a paragraph
Cobble Gobble turns a real European Old Town into a game level. Every street is lined with dots you collect just by walking it; finish a street and it lights up gold on your map, and landmarks become fruit bonuses with a one-line story. Its one genuinely novel idea: it's designed to be played heads-up, with the phone pocketed and sound carrying the game — which also makes it fully playable by blind and low-vision players, the same experience as everyone else. It's pressure-free (no timers, streaks, or leaderboards — the score only goes up), plays fully offline, and its App Store privacy label is Data Not Collected: your location never leaves the phone. Built by one person in Bavaria, in English and German.
The three things almost no other game can honestly say
- “Played without looking.” The game is audio-first — heads-up, phone in pocket.
- “Data Not Collected.” An Always-location game that collects nothing; location never leaves the device.
- “Nothing to lose.” No timers, streaks, or leaderboards. The score only ever goes up.

Screenshots
Captured on iPhone. The money shot is the painted map — an Old Town filling in gold as it's walked. The lock screen is how the game is actually played: phone pocketed, earbuds in. Higher-resolution versions on request.

About the developer
Cobble Gobble is made by Manuel, a solo developer in Bavaria, Germany. It's built on a simple conviction: a game can give your walk a gentle shape without taking your eyes off the city, and without collecting a thing about you.
