## What is VPET?

Do you remember the Digi-Devices of the 90's? VPET is a welcomed throw back to a forgotten era. 

Just like these devices you'll need to raise, care, train, clean and feed your VPET so it can grow into even stronger creatures.

Features:
- Start out with one VPET to Evolve (In-App Purchase more)
- Feed and train your VPET so it can get stronger!
- Use the battle system which allows 2 VPETS to battle over Bluetooth

As the VPET grows it will evolve according to how the player has treated it. From this emerge even stronger, more enduring and more powerful VPETS.

*Note*
The app was created to provide a retro simulation of the classic digital monsters gameplay but it is NOT Digimon and is NOT licensed/endorsed by Bandai. All the virtual pets appearing in VPET Gen1 Free were created by Overdose Media.

## Key features

- Raise and care for your virtual pet
- Train your pet to become stronger
- Evolve your pet based on care
- Engage in Bluetooth pet battles

### 1/5 — Game is difficult never saves

*2024-01-24, version 1.8*

I don’t know if it’s dead or the developer was too lazy but either way you gotta start either making a proper desk screen which isn’t just an egg or get less lazy and making it less temporary because the game is difficult and feels like nothing. I’m not the kind of person who is like gross this virtual pet is boring cause I like the vintage feel I don’t really like these apps so I downloaded this so I could have more of a vintage feel, and it was the worst. It didn’t even have sounds recorded from the original Digimon, toy I’m sorry if I’m spelling wrong but deal with it you really gotta work on your coding skills. The button press animation just feels wrong. The controls are glitchy. There is nothing good about this. App you have to pay to get different colors. OK that’s OK but please just make only some part of them be paid for, and the other is how many pets you have raised. and you’re making profit off of the game that Bandi I didn’t even. give you permission to make. I would report this game of copyrights if the App Store let me except the reporting doesn’t even exist on here boo-hoo please please please please please please please please please please please please make the sprites better and also please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please make the game itself better

### 5/5 — Overall pretty good

*2022-06-18*
