Meet Neo, your first virtual pet! Choose an octopus, a cat, a dog, a bunny or a duck, give it a name and take care of it every day: feed it, give it a bubbly bath, tuck it into bed and make it giggle with tickles. Your pet grows with you: it starts as a baby and becomes a kid, a teen and a grown-up. It never gets sick or goes away — if you forget it, it just gets a little sad until you care for it again. - 27 mini-games to earn coins: catch the food, jump, memory, bubbles, fishing, follow the tune, maze, bowling, puzzle, tic-tac-toe, connect four and many more. - Over 100 wardrobe items: hats, glasses, clothes and accessories that unlock as you level up. - A kitchen with foods that open up as your pet grows. - Talk to it and it repeats you in a funny voice (your voice is never saved and never leaves the phone). - Day and night follow the real time: when it gets dark, it's bedtime. - Levels and growth: real care raises affection, level and life stage. Made with love by Neobit for the whole family: • Truly 100% free: no ads and no purchases. • Works without internet, anytime and anywhere. • No sign-up, no accounts and no shared data. • Protected "For parents" area with sound, voice and notification settings.
