Fun, cute, has potential to be an absolute pillar alongside Wallpaper Engine... Aaaaaand abandoned by the dev. The repetitive and extremely simple gameplay makes me feel like I'm flicking a fidget spinner rather than taking care of pets or making any kind of progress. Minigames? Well, they exist. But they have no impact on the game whatsoever. Collection log? Probably 12-15 hours of random shop rolls and you'll have everything. Not that you can feasibly use more than a couple things at a time. I just can't give this a positive review on the merit of "Shows Massive Potential" when it's abandoned.

What players are saying
I tried it for a little and I must say it is really cute and funny designed. It's perfect for work or even streaming, people can use channelpoints on Twitch for example to interact with the pets, like give them a nickname or feed them. I think the pixelartwork is also working really nice, because it reminds me of the old Tamagochi which is pure nostalgia for me. The minigames are also fun, they could use a tutorial but you'll figure it out if I did as well. Once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of fun!
This is the perfect game for a bit of distraction while working or just watching videos. You get a cute little pixelart creature you take care of, can dress up and even customize with scrolls to change color,eyes ect. If you are looking for a desktop pet that is not too distracting but still very cute and fun give this game a try.
