Relive the authentic experience of caring for a virtual pet exactly as it was in the 90s. Remagotchi was created with a single goal: to faithfully reproduce the original feeling of classic virtual pets. Nothing has been simplified or sped up. The pacing, rules, evolutions, and consequences follow the same logic as the originals. Here, taking care of your pet truly matters. A faithful classic experience Classic pacing, with no shortcuts. Evolutions based entirely on care. Real consequences: your pet can get sick or even die. Retro pixel art inspired by original devices. Continuous gameplay designed to create a real bond with your pet. This is not just a game inspired by the past. It is the original experience, recreated with respect. More than 10 virtual pets Each pet has its own behavior, rules, and evolutions, following the design of classic virtual pets. Pixel Dino The absolute classic of the 90s. Can evolve into a Tyrannosaurus, Brontosaurus, or Triceratops. Pixel Penguin Can become carnivorous, herbivorous, or omnivorous depending on its diet. Pixel Alien Arrived directly from space in the 90s. Features unique feeding rules and evolutions. Pixel Ocean Starts as a tadpole and can evolve into a fish, eel, swordfish, seahorse, crab, or jellyfish. Features different gameplay and 2 exclusive mini-games. Pixel Chan & Pixel Smarty A human-based virtual pet with educational activities and life choices that shape its future. Pixel Fish An adaptation of Pixel Ocean to work on a console with 5 buttons like most other virtual pets. Pixel Cat Independent, affectionate, and full of personality. Pixel Dog Extremely loving, playful, and always seeking attention. Pixel Bear Starts small and grows into a strong and very cute bear. Pixel Deer Calm and happy, sometimes mistaken for a reindeer. Pixel Phant An elephant from the pixelated forests of Africa. Large in size, but very gentle. Pixel Shark A fun shark that decided to live in a pixelated sea.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Remagotchi at none against My Tiny Friends's shown. Remagotchi also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). My Tiny Friends's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 81%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. My Tiny Friends sells 26 one-off in-app purchases and Remagotchi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remagotchi holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 70 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of My Tiny Friends's written reviews are positive against 81% of Remagotchi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

My Tiny Friends ships an update every 2 months, Remagotchi every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
