### 5/5 — ❤️ Great Game! :3 Love the creativity and range

*2026-08-20, version 0.4.41*

I had many accounts over a couple years when I was younger but now I have settled in with my main, it still brings me lots of joy and peace and I recommend to anyone with imagination and art skills. -Although I have few requests which are to discount a few items like the fishing shop and few gem items/cosmetics, also to make the creation of your petz to run bit smoother but still 10/10 game brought me long term happiness. :3 ❤️

### 5/5 — Little confused

*2026-08-12, version 0.4.41*

I really love this game but it is soooo hard to make a custom pet I see on the feed everyone’s looking so good and mine looks really bad. If anyone has any tips, I would be happy to take them. Other than that, I really like the game thanks for reading.

### 3/5 — The game is laggy sometimes and my pet can’t get the treat because it is glitched! It is stuck

*2026-08-12, version 0.4.41*

3-5 stars

### 5/5 — GET THIS GAME! ITS AMAZING

*2026-08-06, version 0.4.41*

I absolutely love this app! The pixel-art customisation tools are so fun to use, and it is amazing to watch your own designs actually come to life. The best part is definitely the shop -everyone is so creative, and buying, selling, and trading petz with other artists is incredibly addictive. If you like virtual pets and pixel art, you need to download this

### 1/5 — Very greedy. Love the game, but you overall need money to get gems. (Main currency.)

*2026-08-03, version 0.4.41*

Unless you get really lucky and people like the series you made, it’s very difficult to get gemz and coins. The players also tend to only interact with the popular players. The tax is insane, it’s a game and not irl and they put tax on your hard owned gemz and coins. They say it’s for inflation but I think it’s greed. VERY greedy game but cute Petz at least

### 4/5 — Cat

*2026-07-31, version 0.4.41*

Every time I watch a ad to get 100 coins, it doesn’t give me 100 coins

### 5/5 — It's good

*2026-07-31, version 0.4.41*

It's great but the ads keep freezing

### 5/5 — Love this

*2026-07-30, version 0.4.41*

I love this game! I can do the pets I miss and that died

### 5/5 — Love the game

*2026-07-30, version 0.4.41*

I just really love the game. I feel like it’s like really good. You could customize your pets and you can do a lot of things like trading other stuff. It’s really good in my opinion one downside I feel like you cannot move the detail you can size it up, make it wide, but you cannot just move it because for me when I make stuff I’m a little bit nervous but when I cause you cannot move the tail

### 5/5 — Fun silly game with a great community!

*2026-07-22, version 0.4.41*

Fun game, frequent updates, pixing your own custom Petz, fun! Just a question about your other game- is Minimalz going to be updated soon? Also it would be cool if you could import your Minimalz to Pixel Petz for a coinz or gemz payment or something, (rather than real currency haha) Ty for seeing this, anyone who did!
