My Little Friend is made for players who want a sweet, calmer pet game full of care, memories, animals, and cozy daily fun.
This game is incredibly cozy. There's not another way to say it. The creatures are cute, the descriptions are great, and the atmosphere is calm. There are a lot of little decisions that help with this. There is no pet death due to neglect. You just come back when you have the time and the game picks up where you've left off. I'm tired and can't think of anything else to say besides this. The game is one of the most feature rich virtual pet games out therevery. I especially like that it's accessible to many users with different needs, such as visually impaired users.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review!Reading comments like this makes our day. One of our biggest goals with My Little Friend was to create a cozy, low-pressure experience that feels welcoming whether you have five minutes to play or haven’t checked in for a few days. We wanted your companion to feel like a friend waiting for you, not a responsibility that punishes you for having a busy life.We’re also incredibly happy to hear that you enjoyed the creatures, descriptions, atmosphere, and the variety of features available throughout the game. Those little details are things we spend a lot of time thinking about, so it’s rewarding to know they’re helping create the experience we hoped for.Your comments about accessibility mean a great deal to us as well. Building games that can be enjoyed by as many people as possible, including blind and visually impaired players, has been a core part of the vision for My Little Friend from the beginning.Thank you again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review and for supporting the game. We hope you and your little companion continue to enjoy many cozy adventures together!
Fantastic little game!

This developer puts so much thoughtful work into making the game very accessible! this game is reminiscent of 90s virtual pets, but the nice thing is that VoiceOver users can actually interact with multiple pets!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you’re enjoying My Little Friend.One of our biggest goals from the very beginning was to create a virtual pet experience that everyone could enjoy, including VoiceOver users. As a blind developer myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find games that only offer partial accessibility, so making sure players could fully interact with and care for multiple pets was incredibly important to us.It’s especially meaningful to hear comparisons to the virtual pets many of us grew up with in the 90s. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for supporting My Little Friend. We have plenty more updates and features planned, and we’re excited to continue growing the game with our community!
Thank you for responding

Thank you for my thank you for responding to my review William. It feels me with great passion that you have responded and with the virtual pet taking days and days to grow up I highly suggest you do that because I have been spending a lot more time with this game and I feel like this game is a bit more game like instead of code instead of cozy companion like for me what makes a cozy companion virtual pet game for me is everything runs in real time so that means I think the stats should decrease a lot slower like not so slow that it like the pet barely needs something but steady enough to wear throughout the day, your pet will need certain things and the app can send you gentle notifications either at specific points in the day or when the stat reaches a certain percentage, so yeah, but I do think for realism stats should increase at different rates for different life stages like for example babies need more frequent care while elders are different so yeah it would just be better and another thing is the day and night cycle. I have suggestions for that so one suggestion I have is your pet sleep schedule is tied to the sun so when the sun goes down, your pet goes to sleep and when it rises, it wakes up and I can either go to sleep automatically or you put it to sleep and I just think that would be good or another thing is it could go to sleep and wake up on a specific sleep schedule and to make it more realistic the schedule should change as your pet ages so like babies go to sleep earlier and maybe even take naps during the day and adults have steady sleep schedules, kinda like how people how their sleep changes and for the growth taking multiple days see when I think that the pet has four life stages, baby kid, adult and elder my consensus. My opinion is that since it has elder, I think it should die of old age but yes, I do agree that people don’t like pets dying, even virtual pets dying so I think to make it more fair. You should have two modes one mode that’s a bit more realistic and things are a brick or are a bit more brutal like more consequences like sickness and death for the people who do want realism like me and another mode for the people who want more game like experience and I think here are some amount of days that I think the pet should take to grow so I think the pet should take 90 days to grow up from like to go through all of its life stages, but I think that the pets full lifespan should be 130 days and each real world day is a year for the pet so the way I think it’s lifecycle should work is 0 to 2 days old baby 3 to 5 days old young child 6 to 12 days old middle child 1318 days old teenager 19 to 29 days old young adult 30 to 64 days old adult and then 65 days to 130 days elder then at the end of that 130 day a peaceful death happens and when your pet dies, your pet gets a life summary of its life like its favorite things and places so yeah this would be a piece would be cool things to make it more realistic

Thank you so much for the incredibly detailed review and for spending time with My Little Friend!First, we’re honored by your kind words. Hearing someone call this their favorite virtual pet game means a lot, especially from someone who has explored so many virtual pet experiences and cares deeply about accessibility.You brought up several thoughtful suggestions and bug reports, and we’ve added them to our feedback list for review. The ideas around choosing your starting pet, deeper sleep mechanics, age-based behavior differences, real-world weather and day/night cycles, and stronger connections between household pets are all interesting directions that fit well with the cozy companion experience we’re trying to create.Thank you as well for reporting the onboarding and audio issues. The scrolling problem during onboarding and the music behavior on first launch definitely sound like bugs, and we’ll be investigating those. The missing ambient weather and environmental sounds are also something we’ll take a closer look at.Regarding the XP system, we completely understand your perspective. Different players enjoy virtual pets in different ways, and it’s valuable for us to hear feedback from players who prefer a slower-paced companion experience where the focus is less on progression and more on bonding.One of our goals is to keep improving My Little Friend over time, and reviews like yours help shape that process. Thank you again for your support, your suggestions, and for being part of the journey. We hope you’ll continue sharing feedback as the game grows!

- Mini-games launch more reliably
- Growth, legacy, shop, care, and kitchen moments feel smoother
- Journal dates are more consistent across time zones
- Extra visual and accessibility polish
