Bien mais ..

Le jeu est amusant un mélange de Pokémon go et de tamagochi mais seul bémol c’est le mods qui sont payant donc impossible d’avoir d’autres dots sans payer pour la reproduction … je trouve cela assez ordinaire. Il faudrait trouver une solution à cela

Pay to Play

The concept is cute. You raise a little creature by checking in on it and interacting with it throughout the day. You can breed for different genes (eventually- you have to unlock them slowly over time or pay for them). But you can’t breed without a bunch of currency called sundrops, and a nest. My biggest thumbs down here is that a nest costs $5. So you have to shell out money to progress at all, and you would have to do so constantly to get to the genes/traits that you want. You’re going to lose players very quickly with all the hefty pay-to-play in this game, because the current game as-is gets boring over time when you can’t progress. Apparently the closed beta allowed you to collect nest parts over time, but this feature got removed. Bring it back. The game has some potential, but definitely some work to do.

It’s Amazing but…why the paywall?

I absolutely love this game and I just started! It’s so cute, the peridots are so expressive and each one is unique! The genetics are so well thought of and I just love the complexity of the breeding. But…I would love it more if I didn’t have to pay to breed..because that’s basically what the game is about. “Raising then breeding.” So why pay to breed? Why not get a free nest after a quest or forge for materials to make a nest? I’ve heard that there was a way to forge for materials to make a nest but then you guys decided to remove it and made a paywall instead. Honestly I think people would love this way more if you went back to what you were doing before. A lot won’t even download if they have to pay for the main part of the game..plus $6 for a nest is very expensive.. but other than that it’s a good pet game!

Paywall

Good game to start but hits a pay wall fast and hard, progress is completely stoped by $5 per game loop requirement and fee will repeat again and again.

After this clear cash grab I feel disappointed and insulted….

Wish Main Feature Wasn’t Behind a Paywall

I love this game. Choosing my first Dot and raising them has been a lot of fun. I like checking in on them throughout the day and seeing how they evolved from baby to adult. It’s super cute!

My main issue, and one that seems to be shared by others, is that a big part of the game is to breed your Dot with others and create new combinations and diversify the gene pool. It’s a cool idea and I was excited to have lots of baby Dots! However, beyond your first free nest (a necessity to hatch a new baby) the rest need to be purchased. Right now a single nest is $4.99. This seems ridiculous for a huge component of the game play to be locked behind a paywall.

Really hope Niantic reconsiders how they handle nests. I would love to see them be a craft-able item, or if you don’t want to spend time searching for materials you can purchase a pre-made one. Additionally, I would spend $5 on a nest that I could use multiple times, but $5 to hatch one Dot (which can be accomplished in a few days) seems unreasonable.

Money hungry game, slow, boring

Takes forever to get an adult, just to find out that you have to literally meet up with a stranger to make an egg and you get chopped up into bits. And that you only get the traits that are unlocked which isn’t much of anything, and you HAVE to pay real money for each one aside from the one free nest you get that I won’t use because stranger danger . It’s just not worth my time. Not to mention I can only play this game on my giant iPad as Nothing else is compatible I own. And lugging around this beast is a pain. The game play is so boring and slow not much to really do. I gave up on Pokémon Go because it got too boring after a few months. I couldn’t make it 3 days with this one, it’s a solid pass. Oh did I mention aside from the free bits you get to start off with plan on spending hundreds just to continue any breeding. And don’t get me started on the glitches. And constant crashes. Save your time don’t even download

$ for nests???

I’ve loved this game so far, it’s super cute and fun. Reminds me of my old tamagotchis and I love that. My one and only complaint is that you have to pay for nests to hatch a new dot. I understand that hatching a dot is kind of an optional thing to do but it does halt what you can do in the game once your dot is an adult. There’s one free nest in the shop and I used it unaware that I’d have to pay 4.99 to get another one. I did some reading online and apparently, in the beta version of the game, you could find nest pieces to eventually make a full one. That’s a perfectly fine way to keep it free, I wouldn’t mind if they were a really rare item and I have the OPTION to purchase whole nests if I wanted to. At the end of the day, 4.99 isn’t worth one single nest and a lot of people can’t even afford that. It’s essentially a pay lock on the game and you can’t do anything else unless you open your wallet for the devs.

This is great

I love this game so much because it’s so entertaining it’s free. Everything is completely free which I think is amazing because I didn’t think it was gonna be free. Most apps aren’t, but the game has super great quality. It helps you explore places and help to move around and I just think that’s amazing. I totally recommend to download this game for the people that are reading this, I do recommend it if you want a free great quality game you could choose the egg you want to hatch in the beginning and it’s mostly just that there’s not really you don’t have to do anything about that you can say you take care of your pet it follows you around and everything but yeah I see nothing wrong with this game. I actually like I’m surprised how good this game is so yeah I really recommend it five stars. This is beautiful so amazing get it for your kids. This is like best game ever

Fun but could use more

I feel like there should be more to do with your dot as if it were a real pet, like giving it a bath and then drying the fur.. Also I fully understand needing to make money but one nest costing $5 is overpriced.. The whole point of the game is to raise your dot and create new types of dots and raise them, thats so hard to do when you cant get a nest.. I had really high hopes when I saw this game, it reminded me of nintendogs and other animal raising/breeding games but then I realized that after my dot grew up, I was only going to get one more dot due to the fact that I cant afford to spend 5 dollars everytime my dot is fully grown.. I feel like there are a lot of better ways to still make money rather than over pricing a nest.. A lot of other free games make the creators good money without over pricing a key item

Seemed promising, but is pretty disappointing

The game starts out well, with a choice between three colored eggs that, when you choose one, leads to a cute little companion. The first few days were fun and I enjoyed exploring with my unique dot while slowly raising it to adulthood. But then we come to the breeding mechanism. For such a crucial aspect of a “free” game—the aspect that is most advertised and encouraged—breeding is extremely paywalled. It’s laughable to call this a free game, because unless you’re content to pay money every few days to continue on in the advertised mission of expanding the species, you’ve pretty much just got a slightly interact-able creature that, once reaching adulthood where it essentially has no other use than for breeding, serves no purpose but to drain your phone battery as fast as possible. Could have been a very promising game, but I don’t know how much longer I’ll keep it around, as there are plenty of other apps that could take up storage and drain battery while providing a much more enjoyable and affordable gameplay experience.
