Your reaction to VPET Planets greatly depends on how much reverence you have for virtual pets. But with 90s nostalgia in vogue right now that might actually be a selling point. Still, although it is a neat recreation of a cheap kid’s pocket gadget for your shiny, expensive smartphone, there’s a reason why this genre never became more than just a fad.
It’s easy to get a kick out of VPET Planets and its blast from the tech past. For that reason alone it’s worth messing around with. However, it’s got as much staying power as the fleeting craze it apes too successfully. And unfortunately, unlike real virtual pet, you won’t be able to sell this one at a yard sale one you inevitably tire of it.
