PLEASE READ THIS
Dear Niatic, people of peridot and more Hello I have had this game for a while now, and I want to say, impressive. People are saying you have to pay to get dots, no, because I have three and I EARNED the nests in my daily streak and stuff. Yet again though, I DO see that if you DO NOT want to wait for the FREE nest, you can PAY… But I don’t 😃 ( also I suggest you don’t too it is just a game and In a few years time you may regret it because it might be in your deleted apps ) SO all I can say is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G ( Amazing, magnificent, Addictive, Zebra ( I couldn’t think of anything else ), intelligent, New, Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Core Mechanic of the game stuck behind paywall.
Peridough should be way more accessible. I can dig up Sundrops and constantly farm Blightbux, so Peridough needs to be easier to get too. Also, at least every other day (if not every single day) there should be a Nest available for Blightbux or Peridough. If you can’t do that then bring back crafting Nests, I should at the very least be able to craft 2 Nests a day or every other day. Honestly who in this economy is able to pay $5 for a Nest every. Single. Time. It’s just not feasible and people should be able to just enjoy something without it hurting their pockets. You can keep the bundles and stuff. I’m sure people who can afford it buy it, which is definitely giving y’all enough money to keep the game running. I wouldn’t have an issue at all with the in-app purchases if the dev team of this game wasn’t basically making them mandatory. This game is pay to play, not pay to win. It’s entirely backwards; what app has ever done anything like that?? None because it makes no sense and doesn’t work. The whole point of the game is to breed for better traits and eventually get archetypes so why would you take away a CORE MECHANIC of the game?? It makes zero sense. Also, how much you spend breeding with rescued/feral and friend’s dots needs to be less random. It’s definitely randomized, otherwise I wouldn’t already have the archetype I do. You should spend less or more depending on how many traits from that dot are still locked for you.

Good but slow
The concept and the interactions with the peridots are amazing.
Obviously a few glitches because of the vr aspect especially when dazzling blighted peridots
My only serious criticism is that you get no where near enough nests consistently. The whole point of the game is to breed new peridots and find new archetypes but it’s so few and far between as there’s no way to obtain nests except for login bonus at day 30 or sometimes when you level up as a keeper. The game would be much more enjoyable if there was more ways to get nests. Make it challenging but not impossible

Cute and solid game concept!
Peridot is a pokemon go, pokemon ranger meets bugsnax meets spore. A charming little game where you raise, breed and mix genetics with other dots and hatch cute little bursts of life with their own personalities and body language. Release wild dots from the blight fog and discover new genetics, colours, features and archetypes to play with. I adore this games concept and gameplay, but i feel like its lacking on a few things which stop me giving 5 stars. Firstly the game is Always using your camera for the AR experience and dot interactions of any kind. This heats even iphone 14s pretty fast and there is currently no option to turn off AR. Secondly i think dot nests are far too pricy. Sitting at £5 per nest, hatching can be quite expensive. The only way to cut costs down is by adding a large amount of friends to gift and receive 400 sundrops per gift received. But youre gonna need a LOT of daily gifters. Around 30ish friends if you want to try hatching every day or so. I personally think nests should only be £2.50 each instead, people would be more likely to buy nests more often if they were less expensive. I know i would. In the future it would be awesome to see an “ar off” mode where you get a layered 2d space for a small den, purchasable customisable texture/theme swaps, more toys and s space to allow owned dots to interact just for fun. It would be VERY charming.

Peridot
Great game with lovely energy and really nice to play. It is it very accessible to people with low income though, as to progress at the level the game aims you too, you have to spend money. Also, it used to have a conservation aspect of releasing the creatures back into the ‘wild’ which it no longer has, along with very little breeding opportunity unless you spend money which to me makes the whole game less exciting than it could have been and more like just having a virtual pet.

The game was cute and fun until…
If you enjoy breeding and caring for cute pets, this game was pretty decent. In the original release, Niantic being Niantic attempted to paywall every hatch, but quickly learned that wouldn’t work. Once they started allowing some free nests (a fair amount even, in my opinion), the game actually became quite pleasant, and it was a fun way to get the kids out to see different parts of our town (go for the on-screen habitat, stay to experience the off-screen point of interest). I was even ok with buying a few supplemental nests to support the game and give the kids some extra hatching fun.
That all changed, dramatically and quickly, with this last update. A game that was happily swaddled in cuteness and fun changed to dark and creepy with the addition of feral dots and blight, complete with ominous music. At the same time, the desires of each Dot pet was removed, effectively taking away the most fun part of caring for each one. My daughter went from absolutely loving the game, to being completely creeped out and hating it. While we probably could have just shifted her focus for a bit if it was a temporary Halloween event, instead it sadly is a permanent change. The previous version of the game will be missed, and we will not be playing this depressing version. Hopefully Niantic will quickly realize how much they’ve alienated family players by this change of tone.

Great concept, money grab
This is such a great concept and fun way to teach loose genetic concepts to kids. But the fact that you get very few nests in game and a single nest costs $8 is just crazy. Pure cash grab that’s just frustrating to play with no chance to earn nests more regularly.
My Thoughts
I absolutely love this game! It’s cute and easy to play. There are some things that I feel could use work but they are mostly due to personal preference. I like how the hatch-a-dot system works and you get to pick from three eggs instead of only getting one offspring.
I don’t really mind the AR features but I personally think it would be better as an option instead of all the time. I say this because my dot often has trouble measuring distance and gets stuck in the floor a lot. If the player could turn the AR on or off I feel it would be more appealing. Maybe a room for your peridot would be a cute idea. Be able to buy or earn furnishings for them to have for comfort or interact with.
This was just the thought that had been nagging at me the most since I started playing. I know that making, adding or changing things to a game can be quite the project so I’m only saying this as a suggestion.
Overall I find it to be a fun game to play and can see myself keeping it well into the future.

Does not work
I have made 4 accounts with different names so far that I cannot access as it freezes and quits after picking the first egg and I then have no way of logging into said accounts because I was never offered to set a password or contact method. I have the latest iPad so I know the problem isn’t on my end. Very lame :(

So cute!!!
Such an adorable game and they updated it, so now you can get free nests. I’ve had loads of fun and haven’t had to spend any money to progress 💗
