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: 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: N/A, I've been following the development of Pawborough since it's announcement, and was tempted to attempt to get a closed beta account, but ultimately decided against so as i wanted a more fair review when dealing with things such as features, community, glitches, and avoiding game wipes.

status: waiting for open beta
