Omg
This game is like so good! I love it my peridot is so cute and he knows tricks
Nests and Nothing To Do
It’s been fun, but I would love to have a little clubhouse or something for my Dot to live in. AR is really murdering my phone and battery, so I’d like a virtual world to walk around and do fun stuff in.
Also FREE NEST QUESTS would be great. A lot of people are complaining like me about the pay-to-play part of this game. If this many people are griping, your game is going to crash HARD. NOBODY is going to play it (unless they’re some rich weirdo playing in their basement for the next 60 years). I wouldn’t mind putting in the work like “Find/Forge over 60,000 times” or “Level Up to level 35” or even ones that say “complete 100 daily desires.” The pay-to-play is stupid and sick and twisted. Your game has a point—don’t make that point so impossible to achieve for those who can’t/don’t/won’t pay. C‘mon plz.

Nests
5* if you bring back the ability to make nests and release Dots to free a nest for a new Dot… I have one nest left and once that’s used I’ll not be playing and certainly not paying to play. Shame really Niantic! Your pricing in all your games is point blank greedy! What’s the thinking???
Ummm no
There is barely even a game here. I’m trying to enjoy this but it has way too many glaring issues. Currently where I live it is about 75 degrees. I have walked daily with my Dot and the game overheats my phone to a point it practically shuts down and it isn’t even summer yet. At least make a non AR mode to try and save some battery/heat.
Let’s get to the point of this sim, breeding Dot’s for traits. That is a hard NO… you get one free nest and then after that there is no way to get more without forking over real cash. They are pricing this thing like you are getting a AAA console game with almost none of the substance. I’m playing two accounts on different devices ti try and get a full handle of it but this is a massive fail and cash grab. Be warned and don’t donate to these shenanigans, they should have at least had one infinite use nest and maybe and upgraded nest for the extra traits. I just can’t believe this is what they decided was even ethical.
Niantic is already doing a great job killing off pokemongo , but there is no excuse for this.

Charming little pet sim with some shortcomings
It’s a cute experience that gives me something to twiddle with every so often during the day. The dots are more engaging something like a tamagotchi as they interact with the environment and can even recognize things such as pets and flowers!
My two biggest complaints come down to the UI and the hatch a dot system.
The interface is really clunky with things buried in menus inside of menus. I feel like every time I was looking for something I had to open up every option every time to find what I was looking for. Information is also very vague in general on how things work, making it even more confusing to find what I’m looking for.
The thing that really bugs me is how to get new dots. The only way to hatch new dots it to connect with another player, have enough sun drops, and have a nest. When picking a partner some of the traits are locked and your new dot cannot inherit them until you’re a certain level. At time of writing I’m level 9, and I feel like nothing is unlocked. My first time hatching was almost an exact copy of my original dot! I definitely wouldn’t mind as much if the nests weren’t locked behind a $5 paywall. I’m not above spending money here and there on app games but that’s a lot to shell out every couple days to play half of the game.
Overall it’s a silly little time waster but my gripes might outweigh the fun. Plenty of potential if the devs don’t get too greedy like some of their other games.

Glitchy but cute and paywall is ridiculous
So I’ve run into some glitches with the foraging in different places, game seems not to recognize the difference between grass and my hard wood floor and gravel/sand so it’s been stopping me from completing things, also the fact that my dot wants to see flowers (of which I have none and there’s none on my walks) and it doesn’t recognize fake ones apparently as a thing is kinda annoying, this nests for 7$ is entirely horrible idea if the name of the game is to breed why should we have to pay for the basic thing we need to do that with?? I’d understand if it were a multiple nest thing like say it gives the possibility of multiple babies but not for one…. That’s just simply stated a rip off, even Pokémon go has free incubators for eggs…. Like give it a rest, you’re not expecting people to play for long or rather not expecting many new breeds to come out of this if you expect us to pay every time lol that’s laughable at best, all in all cute little game but some poor unfortunate soul was allowed to make it a paywall instead of something you could enjoy properly

Cute but one big problem + a few more
I LOVE the idea for this game, breeding simulations are one of my favorite types of games and all of the ideas are great. There are quite a few issues I can overlook such as phasing through things, weird shaking of everything on the screen one time?, and lack of interesting things on the map. My main issue is that there is NO way to get nests which are essential to the game, there NEEDS to be a way to get them without paying or you won’t be able to hook anyone on the game and most people won’t play it after a few days. Also as a suggestion for future ideas I think you could have a non AR location for your creatures that you can decorate and store your dots, (you could make people pay for decorations???) That would add some extra gameplay I feel the game is missing.

Free or playtoearn nests
Cannot give it a positive review until the paywall is fixed. Without $7 you literally cannot continue to play this “free game”
Great concept, poorly executed.
I was so excited when I heard about the new app niantic were creating, sounded like a Tamogotchi that you could actually breed and create new ones! However since the release I have been very disappointed. You get one free nest to use to hatch a second generation peridot but that’s it. To create anymore you have to pay £4.99 for ONE nest! Considering this game is based around breeding new types of peridot, I find this extremely extortionate. I will not pay that ridiculous price to play. The AR part of this game absolutely drains the battery and makes my phone to hot to handle and the graphics are very poor really. I’ve completely stopped playing and deleted the app because what’s the point if you have to pay to breed more peridots, especially a fiver at a time!

Cute but pay to play
Cute game, love the idea but you can only use real money to get necessary items to play the game further. It’s new so hopefully they change this.
