Comments on Pixel Shimeji - Desktop Pet for Android

★★★★★ I absolutely love this game it has so many cute and cool pets it's free there a few adds, but I don't mind them the animations the charectors make is so cute hope you can make more fun games like this one keep up the good work.☺️

★★★★★ I have really bonded with my pet And fortunately, my golden retriever looks just like mine in real life! PS. There are cats here too.

★★★★★ I do love this game, but it takes alot of time to make and download wasting my time, and I only get the other half hour to make a gacha videotex, people who play gacha club, gacha life and gacha life 2 might know what I mean.Don't forget the game names I said they are the best, try it you'll love it😁.

★★☆☆☆ I can't even make my own custom DIY SHINJI. When want to add an image to make a custom one, my Shinji is just a default character?!

★★☆☆☆ Why does it take so long just to create a single custom pet it literally took me an hour just to create a single custom pet all because of the ads and even if I didn't get an ad I will be replaced with a black screen and the only way to get out of the black screen is to exit the app entirely

★★☆☆☆ I used it and it gave a virus. I unstalled the app. My phone crashed and restarted itself.

★★☆☆☆ Contains too many ads that an ad comes after a single click or action
