so, i thought this game was going to be like a game called “pixel pets” and in pixel pets, almost everything needs to be paid for. and, you dont get to choose if ur pet goes to dynamic island, or not. but in this one, you do need to pay for somethings. but, not alot, and you DO get to choose if ur pet goes to dynamic land! but, there are two problems. my pet js doesnt go to dynamic land when i want it to sometimes it js doesnt go to dynamic land. this has happened to me many times, idk if it has happened to anyone else, but its happening to me alot. another thing that i dont rlly like, is that, it tells you if you want the dessert, you have to rate this game 5 stars. thats why i put 5 stars for this game, i wouldve put 3 stars though. anyway, other than those problems, this is a great game. i recommend getting this if you want a little pet by ur side. ❤️
List of good and bad things
Review from Helen
Good things:This app is amazing for caretaking if your not ready for a real pet. You have a cat or a dog/husky, it is very fun to feed and play with them. You can also play with themThere are many kinds a of food to feed them and bring them anywhere! I suggest this game for little kids or young adults or any age, to learn responsibility and remembering things like caring for there pet, and themselves and can also put them on your homescreen!It reminds me of a tamagotchi!Bad things:You have to pay for other animals, and it cost a lot. The one thing I’m sure no one likes [I said some so the “some” does not count for you if you don’t really care] the fact that it’s slightly to much. So people don’t have the money for thatYou don’t have much things to do but feed and pet your animal. I would really love if we could move the ball to play with the animals physically. And the food is limited. You can unlock 1-4 [i didn’t put 5 because you get the green food for free] food for free. But the rest you can’t unlockYou have to pay for the rest don’t mind it but it’s a bit to much for people who are tight on money.But overall, the game is amazing!
Eh it’s ok it’s kinda fun but not really
tylerthecreaterfan627!
It’s fun but i can’t afford the fun fun stuff and it’s still fun I mean I can’t really give it a lot of food or play with it a lot but I mean it’s still fun I guess I don’t know why games are so expensive and you have to pay for the fun stuff like I want to find a fun game without paying for it and it’s just fun the way it is but I guess it’s ok and fun but I wish I could pay for it so it’s fun fun and I guess not but maybe I’ll find a game that’s fun by itself and not have to pay for it maybe not things are expensive these days but it’s not my choice anyways yeah that’s my review.

Doesn’t have a feature where it can roam on your home like your the home screen of your thing and stuff and it is pretty fun other than the fact that you run out of food and half to give it a five star rating to get more food and you have to pay for other features to take care of the cute pet and you’re just using it to get more hearts to take care of anymore. I mean, I just wanted to get it to relax with it can’t even barely interact with it unless you give it a ball or food or a pet
