Reviews
Love the in-game items but wish we could get more than 10 drops per day. On another note... I have no friends to test this with so my little dog is just hanging out solo...
System requirements are super low, doesn't strain anything in the background. Runs smoothly even on my old laptop.
Buddy match is very well thought out, it's so fun to have it with your partner. It's been just two hours for us yet, but yeah, we're both enjoying it.
Ожидания были завышены. В игре нечего делать.
Bought this with my friend and now we're literally throwing ♥♥♥♥ on each other's desktops lmaooo
so it's basically co-op tamagotchi?? harassed my friend's dog and they got notified about it hahaha
I’ve been playing The Virtual Buddy for a while and honestly, it feels like having a tiny cute roommate living on my desktop. I check on him, play little games and keep him happy, and it somehow brightens my day. I’ve always loved animals, so having a digital buddy that doesn’t chew my slippers is a win. Also great for people with pet allergies… finally a friend that won’t make you sneeze! Super simple, super fun—definitely worth trying.
Someone bought my buddy an item ^_^ Thank you kind stranger whoever you areee, we're making it big one step at a time.
