Skyrocket 806 18199 EA Pixel Stars, Various

So I have really mixed feelings about this Virtual Pet and I’m gutted that I’m going to have to give it 3 stars. This 3 stars is based wholey on the content within the game itself, nothing to do with mine specifically. Overall I’ve had a blast playing it, been glued to it for about a day, but! When you reach the end of 1/3 of the content (one girl within the house) in one day it doesn’t really give you much hopes for it being a game with much replayability.The good:- the graphics and animations are adorable and pretty amazing for such a small device- all the girls can be customised with a variety of hair and skin colours, and with some cute clothing items to purchase as well- most of furniture you purchase have little interactions and animations that affect your stats, as well requiring you to interact with the buttons while using the items to achieve different effects in some cases- the gameplay is fun and chill and has a sims-lite vibe- the inclusion of three girls means you can play the game through thrice essentiallyThe bad:- the mini games are alright, not difficult or challenging, with very basic interactions to achieve success, but they’re also just... confusing? You can achieve all ticks and the maximum amount of money from a mini game ... but only get one star? And this is more frequent than not, and the instructions on how to achieve stars are just not included. Good luck figuring it out.- the girls are completely separate from one another and their existence together feels kind of hollow. Even though it’s obviously advertised as them being played separately it seems a shame that there’s no way for them to exist at the same time, especially when you can’t connect to other devices. Their house feels kind of lonely and empty as a resultThe ugly:- the content itself is fun, but mostly revolves around progressing your career through mini games to earn more money to decorate your house/buy new rooms. Which would be fine IF there wasn’t a horrendously low cap on the total amount of furniture items you can have within each girls house. Yes. That’s correct. The game where the only real goal/reward is decorating your house, which brags about the amount of rooms you can have and the amount of items there are MASSIVELY limits the amount of furniture items you can actually place within your house (this includes all wall items, decor, interactable items - everything) . I’ve been playing for a day and unlocked the equivalent of 6 new rooms for my first girl. I hadn’t even started decorating the last two, nor was I finished decorating the rest of them when I hit this cap. So now I have a load of unfinished rooms and a whole empty level on the top floor?? And no way of adding anything extra without deleting other items within the house, despite not having even finished the rest of the house yet. Seeing as my aim was to get each girls house to a perfect state before moving onto the next one and I had loads of plans for what I was going to do which was suddenly then cut short I was at a bit of a loss as to what I was actually supposed to do with the game after hitting this cap? I reshuffled my rooms a bit so more of them looked a bit more bare but I was able to get some stuff in the top room, but I felt kind of cheated as I wasn’t able to actually spend time decorating how I wanted to. A lot of the rooms look bare, unfinished, and not how I want them, as wall items count towards your furniture count as well meaning if you want more furniture, you’ll have to suck it up and have bland rooms with no decor/wall pictures/fairy lights etc. Which is such a bummer. I cannot express how gutted I am with this super unnecessary inclusion which has led to a pretty short lived experience (1 day!!!) I’m going to try to keep playing, but now I know there’s such a low limit on the only real reward of the game, meaning you can’t achieve what you really want out of it, I feel super demotivated.Shame as the game had such huge potential and I really enjoyed decorating and playing up until then.The last 3 images I’ve included are a zoomed out version of all my rooms for the Fashion Designer. This will give you an idea of what counts as a “finished” house.

Purchased for my daughters Christmas and she really enjoyed it.My only gripe would be that I bought it at full price and it's now heavily reduced everywhere.

A great wee toy, like something We would have played with years ago. Simple, great value and doesn't need to be plugged in 🤣 My daughter loves it

A toy that was from my childhood and it is how I remember it 🤩🤩🤩

I purchased this after eyeing it up for some time for my daughter's Christmas.I am sooo glad I did as it's such a hit!!We both love playing it and have done since we opened it :DSo much to do and play with. We haven't gotten to the end of it yet as we take it slowly (she's 5, but has picked it up so well, better than I did).So much fun :) the games are fun also!We love when the delivery driver comes with the parcels also, that's such a quirky addition :)Needs two AAA batteries, but doesn't drain them :)It truly is wonderful and lots of fun!Reminds me of The Sims meeting Tamagotchi :)

My 8 years daughter loves it. I highly recommend this if your kids already know this and asking for one. I always encourage my daughter to keep away from mobile and YouTube (too much usage of internet and YouTube makes kids stop thinking by themselves, that just my opinion) If you think the same way, this little box come with lot of entertainment for kids (happiness). This idea worked for me and my daughter has been using it for last 3-4 months and she is still excited to use it. I am still ok if she gets bored with this at some point as I can still give it to some other kids who I know which will atleast keep them busy for 6 months 😂

Amuses my daughter for ages only downside is the amount of batteries we've gone through.

Cute little toy, I could play with it for hours.
