Adopt a pixel pet and give it the best life you can. Pixel Pet Paradise is a cozy virtual-pet game about raising a little friend from its first day to its last. Feed it, play with it, keep it clean and rested, and watch it grow through four life stages over a 100-day journey. CHOOSE YOUR PET Dog, Cat, Dragon, Bunny, or Dino — each with its own look at every stage and its own favorite snack. EIGHT MINIGAMES Tap Attack, Food Catch, Pet Flight, Frisbee Catch, Laser Chase, Pet Pairs, Picture Puzzle, and a full game of Solitaire with your pet's face on the cards. Every one earns coins. A SHOP WORTH SAVING FOR 40 items — toys, outfits, hats, collars and room decor. Mix and match accessories: a top hat, sunglasses, a scarf and a sparkling magic wand all at once. Nothing is locked behind a paywall. Everything is earned by playing. GROW A GARDEN Plant carrots, sweet potatoes and golden apples. Water them, harvest them, and feed your pet for free. EXPLORE Wander between the bedroom, bathroom, yard and park. Play fetch, chase a laser, watch the seasons change — rain, snow, and a full day-and-night cycle. FIND THE SECRETS There are hidden surprises tucked all over this game. Tap things. Hold things. Try the odd thing. Some of them were designed by my sons. WATCH THEM GROW A framed growth chart on the bedroom wall tracks exactly how tall your pet has gotten, day by day, from baby to elder. No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. Nothing is collected — your pet lives entirely on your device. Made by a dad and his two boys.
