OviPets

I’ve spent years looking for a game that would hit all of the itches that come from browser based breeding games. I found this one through the Equus (horse) portion, but have expanded to 5 species I breed and many more that I collect. I absolutely love the freedom for creativity in the mutations and breeding. You can create your own projects (I’m already working on three, and I only started 4 months ago), which have specific color and mutation combinations. The OviPets community is absolutely massive and sooo wonderful as well. People are so friendly, and always ready to help or give guidance. Many players have created info guides and other informational resources to help ensure everyone can fully enjoy the game. The community is absolutely fantastic and just a huge perk. There are perks to being a paid player, however many of the paid players will work with FTP players to make sure they get to have the full experience as well. There are paid tokens, which permanently turn you into a paid player that you can get through raffles, giveaways, paid players, or for buying it for $5 in the store. There is an additional level of paid players, called Ovi+, which I cannot recommend enough. It keeps all your pets fed (biggest thing for me, as I have over 2k pets). Overall, I absolutely adore the game, and don’t really have any negative feedback, as it’s rapidly become one of my favorites. The only suggestion I have would be a way to filter out options in the search, such as excluding certain colors or mutations! Thank you to the developers and creators. This game is so amazing.

Okay I had a review before and I’m completely re-doing it. When first started playing got stuck on the tutorial multiple times, having to delete and remake my account because you’re able to get softlocked if you spend the credits you need to do the research tutorial on something different by mistake. There’s little-to-no help besides vague instructions at the top, and you’re expected to blindly figure out that there’s a whole help section off to the side. When I first started playing that would have helped if it was more visible. Speaking of visible, in the tutorial besides the text at the top that doesn’t go away even if you want it to, there’s this faint pulse pattern that shows around where it wants you to click next, but it’s very faint and almost blends in with the background of the app. It took me a while to see it and realize what it was. Auctions and buying pets with credits in it’s entirety requires an in app purchase or a subscription in order to use. Compare this to other pet apps and you can see they very much want your money to lock a whole important aspect of the game behind a paywall. Better luck next time kids, unless you convince your mom or someone to fork over their credit card! (Please don’t do that.) There is BARELY ANY way unless you use the auction to get credits. Which are needed for the mutations aspect of the game because you research species and then research mutations and everything with that costs credits. You can breed already mutated pets if you got them from the adoption center for free but you don’t get to choose what you want in that aspect, it’s completely randomized. If you’re free to play, the only way you can get credits is if someone just happens to buy your pets, or if you turn eggs for people. If you’re not very social like me and just want to play by yourself or yourself and close friends and don’t really like talking to strangers, then you’re very likely not going to sell anything. And, if you are doing egg turning guess what? You are REQUIRED to have friended the person you’re turning eggs for and it’s NOT EVEN GUARANTEED that you get credits. It’s like 1 credit per egg too so it’s super slow compared to what people with paid accounts are doing. This game is pay to win: plain and simple. I’ve read the other reviews the people saying it isn’t pay to win are lying to our faces. Oh, and if you do the adoption center guess what? There’s a cooldown, which is fine in itself. But it takes literally like 5 minutes. And 9/10 times if you saw some pet you wanted while you had a cooldown that pet is gone before you even get a chance to get it. Happened multiple times to me so far. It is extremely frustrating. And I’m not even 100% sure of this but from what I’ve gathered it seems even the individual pets have cooldowns when you send them like once you send them in there’s a cooldown for it before anyone can grab it even if their personal adoption cooldown is ready. And if that’s not what that is then it goes to show how little explanation to how this game works there is. There’s a really cool feature called “Tattoo” where you can create your own patterns and put it on your pet. I’ve done some pretty cool looks with it, safe to say it’s one of my favorite things about this app besides the mutations. There’s a catch though, of course from many things in this game: If your pet has mutations in the area you’re trying to apply the tattoo, the tattoo will go UNDER the mutations and/or get cut off or cropped. The area that the tattoo can be applied to are completely scuffed: I was doing a tattoo on my raccoon’s arm and instead of doing the full arm like it showed in the preview it was cut halfway and so half of the arm was blue like I had put and the other was default and it looked horrendous. 😐 Oh, by the way. There’s pure colors in this game. But it isn’t in the way you’d think where it’s all the color slots being the same color. Nono, it’s if a SINGLE slot is the hex code of a color (like white being hexcode FFFFFF) that it’s considered a pure color. And, if you’re trying to make a pure of any other color than the recognized ones, like say FFFF99, then it will never be pure because there’s no little dot for that color saying that it’s pure because only certain colors get to have one. WHO DECIDED THIS??? As an artist and a pet game lover who has played games like Flight Rising before, this is GENUINELY the worst implementation of this concept I have EVER seen. Last thing. There’s a “discard” feature that’s supposed to be getting rid of your pets if you don’t want them and don’t think it’d be worth to send to the adoption center if you think nobody would want it. What does it actually do instead of getting rid of the pet? Put it in a “Discarded” tab under the skull button, where it’s there forever and never goes away and you’re able to take it back if you want. WHY. ON EARTH. WOULD I WANT MY PET STILL THERE IF I DISCARDED IT??? It’s supposed to be gone!!!!! Why is it still there just on a different screen than the main one?!?!! You’re telling me theres no actual way to get rid of them unless you make another player take it from your account?! This is friggin ridiculous!!!!! This game SERIOUSLY needs work. I’ve seen players who have played this since 2012 and it is now 2026. YOU GUYS HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF THIS IN 14 YEARS??? Genuinely unbelievable. Whoever made this game please please hire a new person to create features for this game, thank you.
