Auto Pet Racers

There's a reason that the developer is keeping their communication to Discord despite Early Access. While there are a lot of things that sorely need patching, there's been no patches a month into this "approximately a few months" Early Access period. Instead, you can read on their Discord server about features they'd like to add but with no real timeline/roadmap. Typos aplenty despite the lack of text. No options except a singular BGM-only slider (which doesn't help with the loud SFX, particularly the start of race horn), little in the way of game customization (pick an animal as your racer which doubles as the "Adjustable Difficulty", as there are no difficulty settings otherwise), placeholders for features that aren't implemented, and little to see that you can't infer from just the Steam screenshots. Abilities consist of "click on Abilities button, equip them all, including checking back every turn because there's no UI to tell you when you've picked up a new Ability", so there's no depth there. In theory you could try to aim for specific abilities, but you'll be too busy managing with buying dupes (+100% base effect per +2 dupes merged) or covering for resting trainers to bother. This means choosing between better stats or a more diverse skill pool, but the former is stronger and you're allowed to equip duplicate abilities anyway. There's no meaningful depth here, which is likely why other reviews have limited playtime. Much as I'd like a Powerpros/UmaMusume style sim game that's in English without predatory monetization, this is nowhere close, even for $5 USD.

The game only has the basic but its still great! Ofc it needs more friends and more quality of life stuff, but at the current state you can already play and have a lot of fun!

A genuinely fun yet simple take on a Racer Trainer game. It is quite barebones and there's a lot still to be developed, yet once it's fully fleshed out I can see this becoming a great option for people if they ever get tired of hearing UmaPyoi legend. Excited to see more!

This game isn't complete yet, and that's a caveat to everything I'm saying. But there's a lot of potential here and it's a fun time. Yes, there are bugs. Yes, there are some things that need polish. However, beneath that is the core of something that has legs to run (no pun intended). I think the game could benefit from a few things. One major one being the way trainers lose stamina. That part can feel frustrating. Another being the diversity of trainers and abilities. That said, I think that more content is added, the frustrating parts of the gameplay loop are sanded down, and it gets a nice polish, this game could be a lot of fun. I really hope that the developer takes the time to keep working on it, expand the roster, take user feedback, work out the kinks, and keep the game growing!

This one is really bad. I started with the tutorial and was to the last race but I was getting annoyed by the UI being all screwed up on a wide monitor. There is no save option so I figured it auto-saved like other games. I went back to the menu to look for the video settings, but there are no video settings. Actually, the "settings" button on the menu doesn't do anything at all. It's just a picture of a button lol. Okay, so I go back to play, and it doesn't restart where you left off, and instead it just starts a new game. That's super annoying, but oh well, so I started a new game with the cow racer. After winning that game, I had still only spent about 40 minutes in the game. Maybe someday this could be fun, but right now it's not even CLOSE to being ready for early access. This is bad.

Too many bugs to play.

Ich würde das Spiel nur zu gerne empfehlen, aber leider ist das zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt echt nicht möglich. Die idee ist ansich simpel aber trotzdem einfach schön. Trainiere dein Pet und gewinne rennen. Doch leider ist das so eine unfertige Version, dass man nicht mal das Menü öffnen kann. Das Level und kaufsystem ist leider auch sehr unausgereift. Ich denke mit etwas Liebe wird das ein sau cooles Spiel, aber stand jetzt ist das nicht mal ne Demo in meinen Augen. Dafür schon Geld zu nehmen (auch wenn es nur 5 Euro sind) finde ich schon grenzwertig. Naja ich hoffe an dem Spiel wird noch gearbeitet und es wird zu einem geilen game.

An awesome concept with HUGE potential, I can't wait for more updates and more animal racers! 😊

画风很可爱的小游戏，感觉用的就是苹果手机里的emoji在比赛。刚上架，问题有： 1. 目前settings无法工作， 2. 游戏过程中无法存档，退出就要重新开始， 3. 目前技能装备了就更换不了。 4. 游戏现在鳄鱼吊打一切了，npc鳄鱼吃了氮气加速从头加速到尾，不知道怎么弄得，没法玩，真没法玩。
