Cozy Yard Friends

Care for a cuddly friend who remembers you! Pet, feed, brush, and play fetch, then earn stars to unlock new pets, toys, and treasures for your yard.

Cozy Yard Friends is a gentle virtual pet game made for young children.

Your pet lives in a sunny yard and needs a little care each day. Everything is done with your finger — there are no menus to read and no buttons to hunt for:

• PET your friend by stroking it. Its eyes squint happily and hearts trail behind your fingertip. • FEED it by dragging the apple to its mouth and watching it munch away. • BRUSH it by scrubbing the brush over its fur to leave a sparkling trail. • PLAY FETCH by flinging the ball across the yard and watching your pet bound after it and bring it back.

Caring for your pet earns stars, and stars unlock things — the part kids love most. Save up for a red bouncy ball to play fetch with, a flower patch, a pretty bow, a party hat, a butterfly friend, a little pond, and a cozy house. Save longer and you can unlock whole new pets: a bunny, a kitty, and a puppy, each with their own look and their own name that you choose.

There is always something happening in the yard:

• Tap the sun for a star rain shower and catch the falling stars. • Tap the pond to blow bubbles and pop them. • Your pet sometimes hides behind the tree and waits for you to find it. • A wrapped surprise gift is waiting the first time you visit each day. • At bedtime the sky turns to night, stars come out, and your sleepy pet drifts off with little z's floating above its head.

Your pet remembers you. Its name, its needs, your stars, and everything you have unlocked are saved between visits, so it is always the same friend waiting when you come back.
