The gameplay is characterized by a simple and unconventional "draggy about" mechanic, allowing players to interact with their pets even when other windows are open, which is a unique feature in idle games. Players can collect pets through eggs and utilize various power-ups, reflecting the developer's experience with idle game mechanics. Overall, the gameplay is designed to be calming and engaging, appealing to fans of the genre.
“The developer clearly has experience with idle games, and the mechanics that someone who has played a lot of them would expect are mostly there.”
“This game features a fully unconventional way to look at the mechanics of the same old clickers.”
“A game in which we can pet pets, the game has a lot of items with different power-ups, which simplifies the gameplay, and we can get pets through eggs by buying them.”
“The gameplay is overly simplistic and lacks depth, making it feel repetitive quickly.”
“While the mechanics are familiar to idle game players, they don't bring anything new or exciting to the table.”
“The game feels more like a chore than an engaging experience, as the gameplay doesn't offer enough variety.”

The story aspect of the game is heavily tied to a quest system that offers numerous rewards and lore, but players feel that the pacing is too fast, leading to a lack of meaningful engagement with the characters. Many wish for a slower progression that allows for deeper interactions and relationship-building with their favorite animals, rather than rushing through quests for quick rewards.
“There are even a ton of quests for each animal, for the helpers and for doing 'point pet bonus round' etc.”
“There is a quest system with rewards”

“Tbh, I would like to see some aspects slowed down so that I spend more time actually petting and building heart levels with my favorites rather than just spamming eggs because I completed hundreds of quests and got thousands of hearts after an hour or so of playtime.”

Players note that the game involves significant grinding, likening it to a JRPG due to the effort required to achieve "heart levels." Despite this, many find the game enjoyable and a good way to pass the time, especially for fans of animals and farming.
“I know this says idle, but it might as well have been a JRPG with how much grinding I had to do to get 'heart levels'.”
