We love our furry friends. For many of us, our pets are an integral part of our lives and we can’t imagine being without them. It’s estimated that there are around 900 million dog owners and perhaps some 600 million or so cat owners around the world. While many of us likely fall into either category, or both, perhaps you have longed for something more exotic. Like your very own salamander from Mexico, or a mythical beast bent on the earth’s destruction. That’s where virtual pet apps come into play. These pets are something you can take with you anywhere you go, and you don’t have to worry about them scratching up your furniture or making a meal out of your favorite pair of shoes.
Try out these virtual pet apps for some fun with some code-based critters.
The phrase “mommy’s little monster” just took on a much more literal meaning. In this retro looking 8 bit graphic game, you need to feed, bathe, entertain, and even put to bed your own personal baby Cthulhu. The creature is straight out of Lovecraft literature, but this one relies on you and your personal TLC to help it evolve into the strapping monstrosity it is destined to become. There are five mini-games and you have to pay careful attention to percentages and treat your Cthulhu accordingly. If he gets too low on health, you can sacrifice one of his “witnesses” to help him. It’s a casual and amusing game that you should totally check out.
