Desktop Pet Project

it's alright, just your classic desktop pet program. its nice you can have multiple running at once, but maybe increasing the pet slot amount would be nice. The phone (which is basically a menu) you can use to summon items, play games etc. is cool. But I wish right clicking gave you interaction options with the pet itself, something other desktop pets I used before had. For example, instead of just summoning the phone, right clicking the cats would spawn an options menu that lets you pet the cat, make it sit and also open the phone. But i also think its cool that you can play games with the pet. Cool addition.

Bought this on sale and was glad that I got it. The cats are really cute and keep me company on my screen during mundane tasks. You can have up to 4 at a time, and there are dogs for the dog-lovers as well. I turned off the option for the memes because I found the popup windows distracting.

Honestly, this game is cute, but there are better desktop pet games out there. The developer recently added more slots for pets which is a welcome addition because now you can have four saved. I picked the black cat and named it after my lil void I have at home. The cat isn't customizable though so I had to deal with the bright yellow eyes. There's not a whole lot to do but my lil guy is cute crawling on the sides of my monitor. It worked fine with my dual monitor setup, no bugs, however he only crawled around the one monitor which is standard. My lil guy communicates with me through cat memes. Sometimes a meme will pop up saying something like PLAY WITH ME NAO and I play with him but there's no needs bar to know when he's had enough. I have to manually exit the popup box whenever I decide I want it gone. I tried playing with him through the minigames but this is by far the worst part. There's a basketball game where he just dunks a basketball into hoops but I can't interact in any way - I can't move the hoop or take the ball from him. So I tried the Pong game next (literally just called that) and the ball crawled so slowly across my monitor that I couldn't help but laugh. Once the ball finally hit one side of the screen, it sped up and I thought we were ready to go. However, as we kept hitting it back and forth, the ball actually [b]slowed down[/b] again. If you've ever played Pong, you know that's the opposite of what's supposed to happen. This game has a low price and cute art so I hesitate to give it the thumbs down and I hope the developer makes this a better experience down the line. I hope they add achievements as that would give me a lot of encouragement to keep it running. I'll keep an eye on it but for now I feel there's better desktop pet type games on Steam.
