## What is PetriPet 2?

Enter the laboratory and grow your own custom virtual pet from a single-celled organism to an old-aged adult.  Along the way you will feed, clean, walk, and care for your pet.  As your pet grows, you will have the opportunity to customize the way your pet looks and acts using "DNA Splice" power-ups and mini-games.  "Splices" can reward the player -- like doubling the amount of experience points earned but they can also make the gameplay more challenging -- like causing your pet to eat its food at a faster rate.  

There are hundreds of combinations that allow you to grow a pet that is as unique as you are.  What will you create?

Features include:

- Hundreds of available combinations to create a truly unique creature.
- Innovative ‘Splice System’ changes the gameplay as your pet evolves.
- Complications for tracking food supply and other vitals right on your Apple Watch face.
- Pedometer support for tracking your pet’s (and your own) step goal progress.
- Independent watchOS app - no iPhone required.

### 5/5 — Questions but nowhere else to ask…

*2026-01-23*

So yes I have a few questions about the game (which is a good thing; I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t like the game!) + 2 1/2 feature requests/ideas

1. What are the relative chances of the different splice types (DNA, histone etc)?
2. If the creature is sick and loses health, is giving treats the only way to heal it? Can it heal over time, and if so how does his happen?
3. Is there a way to see what mutations the present creature has?

And requests:
A way to pet the creature, and a feature to see what mutations it has (if the aforementioned feature does not exist). Also possibly a way to splice genes from previous pets?

Sorry if it’s a lot, I just really like Petripet 2. Thank you from me and Splont IV (and the previous Splonts)

### 5/5 — VERRY GOOD 😊

*2025-09-20, version 1.5*

This app is very good i will definitely recommend it if u want like a app that shows the progress of your online pet! Also the pets are very cute and nice. I just wish you could earn the special treats instead of buying them if u run out. I dont know if you can tho because im only on level 6. Overall this game is great!! 😊 and

### 4/5 — Makes Apple Watch and Fitness More Fun!

*2025-03-13*

Really enjoying this app so far, but one major thing bringing it down is that it does not sync with our health data. I miss out on so many steps in this app since it only records the steps you take when you “walk” it. It would be so much better if it automatically recorded all of our steps from the health app throughout the day. Also, it would be cool to have the 3D graphics like in Petri Pet 1, or retro graphics like original virtual pets. Overall this is a cool app that has made using my Apple Watch and fitness much more fun! Cool that it lives in your watch and goes everywhere with you. Hope we get more updates and features, like playing games with it to make it happy.

### 5/5 — Help making wallpaper

*2024-12-20*

I love it,but how can you make your pet your Apple Watch wallpaper?

### 4/5 — Enjoying the game, but wonder if this is intentional

*2024-07-21*

Fun game for Apple Watch! But when I try to walk my pet, it will usually run away if it has the trait. Do I have to keep it in the cage while walking? It doesn't make sense to me. But very good game!

### 5/5 — Very good

*2023-12-22, version 1.4*

In your original game PetriPet game, how do you train your pet from age one

### 3/5 — Overnight murder

*2023-11-16*

Hi, could you please make it so that your pet doesn’t die overnight? I am not buying anything to help with that but I will raise my rating if you do. But other than that I love the idea and how unique it is.

**Developer response:** Hi Ripraine1234, one thing I would recommend is to make sure that your pet is being put to bed at night.  Between 9pm and 11pm daily (it's a random range) it will let you know that it's tired.  Turn out the lights so that it goes to sleep.  It will wake up about 8-9 hours later and begin eating and such.  So be sure to turn the lights back on when it wakes up or it will get grumpy.  If you manage its sleep schedule effectively, it will not die overnight.

### 4/5 — Brad review

*2023-11-04*

I really love this app. The only thing I wish could change is that I wish the app could be on just your phone because I don’t wear my watch all the time and another thing I wish that could change is you could get like endgame currency to spend in the pet shop in the pet shop like pet coins or something like that because I wish you wouldn’t have to actually buy the things in the pet shop with real money oh, and by the way, I tried the original Petri pet app and it is not accessible at all because I am visually impaired and blind. However, petri pet two is more accessible.

### 5/5 — Best Watch Only Game!

*2022-08-23*

This is a fantastic pet game on your watch. Interact with your pet on the Apple Watch, see it grow, feed it, take it for walks, and take care of your new friend that can go everywhere with you!
