### 4/5 — Any Events

*2026-07-16, version 2.0.6*

This game is fun and cute, but is there any events coming up or not?

### 5/5 — Please add new events/gachas!! Don’t let this game die!

*2026-06-07, version 2.0.6*

Even if its reruns from the earliest events and gachas, i understand if there’s not a lot of resources to be put into this game, but there are people who still play and love it and wish for new events!

### 5/5 — Kawaii~!

*2026-01-06, version 2.0.6*

I love this game sooo much!

### 4/5 — Inactive Updates From Devs.

*2025-11-10*

There was a-lot of hype surrounding this game when I was in school. And the same company having many more projects gained more popularity and therefore took priority over this game. From gachas to events and even shopping. The game eventually became stagnat with fewer updates, and so many U.S players downloaded the Japanese APK of the game which had a extensive variety of items to buy and many features not yet seen on the U.S app. Many fans, including myself, sent emails requesting more engagement and equal interface features to enhance gaming experience to which developers responded poorly. Stating that they did not have the means or staff to do so. Since them the community behind the game has been reduced greatly. The base game shop hasnt been updated in years, but you can still purchase in game currency for a premium  shop which also has not been updated in years. Its a cool game for nostalgia, but nothing more than that.

### 2/5 — Good game but bad data transfer…

*2025-08-04, version 2.0.6*

Played this game about 10 years ago and loved it. Dedicated my time with making outfits and attending events, got so many free stuff and a high level. One thing I wish for is that data transfer was done differently, preferably a phone number or email. I lost my account forever, oh well lol

### 1/5 — clothing site

*2025-07-19, version 2.0.6*

Every time I open the game, it takes me to a clothing website on the home screen and I can’t get off of it. It was working fine yesterday so I don’t know what the issue is. I can’t access my game I keep refreshing it and everything but it’s not working. I don’t know if anybody else has this problem or is it just me?

### 3/5 — Good older ambition title

*2025-04-22, version 2.0.6*

It’s very fun and entertaining, and can be seen as sort of a prequel to their other games. I like the concept and the affection system, but the UI is a bit confusing which is expected for such an old game

### 5/5 — W game

*2024-07-12, version 2.0.6*

👍

### 5/5 — Haven’t played since 2016 and I love the nostalgia

*2023-11-16*

Honestly, I’m so surprised that this game is still up after all these years. I still kept this notebook, which I’ve had for nearly decade now, and it has my ID and password that I’ve written down for this game’s data transfer. It still works!

According to the log, the last time I’ve done anything was on the 16th of April 2016. Downloading and playing this game, and listening to the main upbeat, cheerful Animal Boyfriend theme song puts a smile to my face, and I feel like I’m younger again.

The game is pretty simple and it’s something I’d check in on, from time to time, and get into the gacha events.

The fact that Ambition is still updating this game with newer events, since 2014, has me amazed. I’m gonna keep playing this game to show my appreciation.

### 3/5 — Good game but it has a weak execution

*2022-06-03*

The purpose of this game is to raise your own boyfriend by talking to him, getting him to study, making him work, and overall, I love the concept. However, the game makes it feel more like raising a pet or a child rather than a boyfriend… there are little to no romantic moments or chats. I have not been playing for a long time so I am not sure if later on there will be more romantic conversations or interactions and if there is not I would be very disappointed.
