virtual pets

Tamanotchi

Rating: 6/10, in my personal opinion this is a slightly better Dragon cave, there is no stats, or risk of death, but pets still use a similar attention system to grow up into different monsters, the pets are mainly randomised when adopting them (the only thing you can really choose is the name, capsule shape, and colour of the pet when making them), but if your aiming to collect them all you can breed pets together when they are fully grown. The future of this game is pretty shaky as for a while the original owner was going to shut down until Melonking (a forum maker and fellow Neocities user) took over back in june 2023, so far though there has been no updates on the game and has become pretty stagment, i really hope we get a news update soon.

Flight Rising

Rating: 9/10, the artstyle of lore for this game is fantastic, and it has a lovely selection of games and events to play, my only complaint is that due to the breeding mechanic eventually all "rare" dragon traits become easy to get and the only things to build up to is leveling up your main dragons and collecting pets for your dragons, nothing bad to say about the game, just kinda boring..

Goatlings

Rating: 8/10, a game that's like a mix between Chicken Smoothie and Neopets, your main goal is to collect all the types of goats and outfits for your avatar, there's a few games to win currency which you can use to buy goats and outfits, but that's about it, unless your willing to grind for your goat collection it starts to become routine and a bit boring.

on 3rd January 2026, Goatlings shut down due to security concerns and inablity to care for the site, running for 14 years from 2012 to 2026, RIP goatlings.

MaraPets

Rating: N/A, only played for a week, difficult to get into similarly to Neopets, but doesn't have the community support needed to make it easy, good for players who like playing Neopets, but doesn't want to play Neopets themselves.

Pawborough

Rating:Rating: 8.5/10, i'm gonna be nicer in this review since Pawborough has only been in open beta for a few days but honestly it's seems really good! ofc the game is pretty limited as many features are still in development but what we have seen so far seems pretty good, a complaint that is more of a concern is that in order to do some dailies you need quite a few items and currently the only way to get items is either territory duties (which only gets you one item per cat every hour) or errands which is slow and pretty grindy, alongside this concern my biggest complaint is the watering can, which you would think is reusable, but is destroyed after only one use in a farm plot, plus the item itself is expensive with you needing to grind 5 iron ore, embers, and 3 stored spring water just to be able to craft one. Other then that though this game is great and any other minor complaints i could mention is currently being worked on and fixed by the developers.
