with My Buddy

Bug?

Enjoying the game so far! My son enjoys watching the laid back graphics and he’s learning to say cat and dog. Possible bug? No matter how much I brush my buddies they still look dirty and the “need” with the three stars icon is always deplete and I can’t get it to go any higher.

Doesn’t feel like a finished game

Every single quest will involve petting than brushing (which are fundamentally the same input wise) which makes the leveling up grind heavy. The animation feels lacklustre, and the models? If this was a game going for an old *style* then I’d be kinder, but this feels more like a lack of ability unfortunately. That and the fact that this might be one of the only virtual pet games I’ve ever seen without a bathing mechanic. Features that honestly should be unlocked right away are instead level gated, which feels strange? Why is walking level gated at all? Even if it’s unlocked at a low level, still feels strange. There are only a few different breeds, but the color selection is pretty nice! Two stars purely because I’m a sucker for pet games, but you’re better off trying to get an emulator running for Nintendogs

Bug Report – Thirst Level Not Decreasing

Hello, I recently downloaded With My Buddy on Apple Arcade and I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying the game — it’s incredibly charming and fun to play! That said, I believe I may have encountered a bug: my pet never seems to get thirsty. I’ve waited an entire day, but the thirst level hasn’t changed at all. This is unfortunate, as I can’t progress in the game unless I’m able to give my pet something to drink. All the other needs decrease normally (very fast), but thirst stays the same no matter what I do. It’s becoming a bit frustrating, since I feel stuck and unable to enjoy everything the game has to offer. Could you please let me know if there’s something I’m missing or if a fix is on the way? Thank you so much in advance for your help, and again — amazing job on the game! Best regards, Ari

Confused 😵‍💫

Better games

Nintendogs gives WAY better things to do this is basically a simple version of it. I play on a 3DS it’s way better and gives a much more realistic and satisfying experience! This one is too simple for my liking.

Takes for ever

Takes forever to load

Apple Arcade added the game With My Buddy to the service, letting you raise kittens and puppies to adulthood and then nurture your furry pal like your own pet.
