### 5/5 — 업그레이드 부탁

*2023-11-25*

펫이 자꾸만 크리처를 괴롭혀요!! 부탁드립니다 혼내는 기능도 만들어주세요. 아,그…몬스터도 키울수 있게 해주세용

### 5/5 — a nostalgic treasure, a masterpiece in simplicity

*2023-07-03, version 3.1*

I used to play this game all the time when I was much younger. I had totally forgotten about it as I got older but as I was scrolling through the app store trying to find something to take my mind off the stress of general adulthood, I found this absolute gem and was instantly overcome with nostalgic joy. 
i am so happy to have found this again. my fiancé doesn’t understand the hype but that’s okay. I am perfectly happy to keep my little creatures happy healthy and safe from lions and the occasional godzilla monster. 
some people seem to think that the game needs more features — more complexity, more things to do - whatever. I argue this: sometimes things are really just perfect as they are. I wouldn’t change a thing.

### 5/5 — The game I have on every phone

*2022-12-14, version 3.1*

First game I make sure is loaded on every phone I get. Why do I need it? I don’t know, but it’s soothing and nostalgic, reminds me of virtual pets and a game my best friend played on her computer in middle school. I check in on my little creatures every day and name new baby blobs. If I have enough blobs I feed the lions to them :) Thank you for making and maintaining this game

### 5/5 — we need a 2022 update

*2022-07-14, version 3.1*

this game is fun and simple. please come back and keep it running well :)

### 5/5 — really good game

*2022-04-24, version 3.1*

in love with this game. came here to write suggestions even tho no ones gonna see them lol
needs:
- more grass available to spawn
- creatures need to eat less amount of food
- ground shouldnt dry out so fast OR change speed of game in settings.
- add an option to turn off screen zoom out its very annoying
- creatures should have a new ability to protect from monsters I suggest an ability to create block wide barriers slowly over time after prioritizing their needs. creatures can slowly break down barriers, etc.

### 5/5 — 안드로이드에 출시해주세요

### 2/5 — Fun and all but

*2022-01-15, version 3.1*

It needs to get updated. I can’t buy any sheeps or lions and place them.

### 5/5 — Simple and cutr

*2021-12-27, version 3.1*
