About

TamaShell

Features
Read full description

TamaShell is a virtual pet that lives entirely inside a fake computer terminal. Hatch an egg, then keep your pet fed, clean, rested, and happy using simple typed commands or on screen buttons. Your pet keeps living in real time, even while the app is closed, so a few days of neglect will actually catch up with you. Along the way there is a full day and night cycle, a coin economy you can earn by putting your pet to work, a shop for food and room decorations, and more... who knows what hides away in the terminal? If your pet dies, it does not just disappear. Reset and start the next generation. Raise a pet. Keep the terminal alive.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MoBooKit at none against TamaShell's 4. MoBooKit also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). TamaShell's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
