Your pet. Your care. In real time. MiMascota is a classic virtual pet for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Hatch an egg, feed, cuddle and play – and watch your pet grow up in its own little 3D room in a cheerful comic style. Four Species. Four Characters. • Mochi – a cuddly cat, perfect for getting started • Pip – an early bird that needs lots of food and attention • Nube – a little ghost that sleeps by day with the lights on and haunts by night • Draco – a night-owl dragon with a big appetite and a long life All species are free – choose the one you like. Raise a senior of every species, and two secret ones await. From Egg to Senior Your pet hatches, grows from baby to child and teen, and becomes an adult. How well you care for it decides what kind of adult it turns into: radiant, cozy or cheeky. Eventually it grows old – and every pet finds its place in the graveyard, with its date of birth and farewell. Care for Your Pet • Meal: fish, veggies or fruit • Affection: a snack, a cuddle or a gift • Care: clean up, give medicine, go for a walk • Turn off the lights when it sleeps (Nube wants them on), and scold it when it misbehaves • Hunger and happiness are shown in four hearts that empty quarter by quarter • Each choice shows how much it helps at your pet's current life stage – a baby loves cuddles, an adult wants walks Mini Games • Directions: guess which way your pet will look • Cups: your pet hides a treat under one of three cups and shuffles them – follow the treat! Every round gets faster. • Echo: your pet shows a row of symbols – remember them and repeat them in the same order! Every round adds one more. It Lives On – Even When the App Is Closed Your pet keeps living in real time. When it is hungry, sad or sick, misbehaves, needs the lights switched or makes a mess, you get a notification with a picture of your pet. Ignore its calls for too long and it counts as a care mistake – too many, and its life gets shorter. Uncleaned poop and too many snacks make it sick. More Pets, More Fun • One pet slot is free • Unlock up to three more slots to raise up to four pets at the same time • Going away? Send all your pets on vacation for a day or a week: their care pauses, they don't grow older and need nothing until you're back • Bring a pet to the shelter to make room for a new egg Game Center Medals • Earn a medal for every species: it fills up a bit more with every life stage your pet reaches, until it becomes a senior • More medals for a big family, a full life and perfect care – and a few hidden ones waiting to be discovered In-App Purchases MiMascota is free to play: all species, all actions and all three mini games are included, and one pet slot is free.
