Love it!

I love this app! I try to use it every day, and Amaru is just so cute! Im so excited for the sequel! I have one suggestion: I think you should make Amaru’s eye color customizable. This app is deserving of five stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Edit:maybe also make spa tokens easier to get? Not everyone has friends apparently 😆

Edit for the latest update: I used to feed Amaru until it said he wasn’t hungry anymore, but now I can feed him forever, even after his bond is maxed out for the day. Is this a bug or an intended feature?

Helps a lot

I suffer from stress, depression, and I get angry easily. This app helps with all three of those things. Here are 3 reasons this app is deserving of 5 stars ⭐️✨. 1. It is so fun to play with and take care of Amaru!! 2. This app requires absolutely no internet, so it can be played in all places at all times. 3. It has no ads at all, so you can have fun with Amaru uninterrupted. This app was so worth it. Also pls put me on top so everyone can see this
