"PetVille embodies some of the best features from other successful Zynga games, and puts them into a dynamic and fun pet environment. "The enhanced art style and beautiful graphics are another example of how Zynga is continuing to bring innovation to games on social networks," Lurie says. Like all Facebook games, Petville is in beta so hopefully they’ll get some things ironed out and maybe add more to do.Petville on facebook, is this a pet society killer? Yes, they’d rather be put down than die of starvation. Then you need to pony up some game dollars to get them out. Petville is no different because if you don’t feed your pet in time they’ll check themselves into the pound if you don’t feed them in time. In the farm games, for instance, your crops will wither and die if you decide to have a life and not harvest them in time. I’ve complained in the past about Facebook games penalizing you for not constantly checking your things. There is one major negative point, though.
And it’s a lot easier to accrue game dollars so you don’t always feel like you’re missing out on things.
Unlike PS, though, Zynga doesn’t seem to be pushing buying things with really money as much. The large size of the pets also makes it difficult for collecting garbage strewn around the house. These fancy graphics come at a price, though, for players with lower end computers and slower Internet connections. It looks better than PS, especially for the items. The graphics in Petville are nice, though. Sometimes I can do it, but it can be a bit frustrating to get it done. It is possible to pick up and move pets, but it seems to be a hit miss operation. And you can’t control your friend’s critter so if they feel like sitting on an apple core that’s what they’ll do. Doing this in a friend’s house means having to fight your way through two pets to get this done. They’ll also sit on things and generally get in the way. Your pet, though, won’t stay out of frame for long and has no problems running right on top of what you’re trying to pick up. You can, and have to, use the scroll arrows on the sides to move the house back and forth. The icons will generally bring up a “pop-up balloon” when the mouse hovers over it obscuring what you’re trying to click on even more. Stuff gets hidden behind the the status information across the top or behind the icons on the bottom.
The design of the game screen, though, makes picking things up a chore. Finding them is a game in itself because things can be stuck on top of the fridge, or on a chair. These items are marked by flies buzzing around each dirty item. Cleaning up means going from room to room picking up bits of garbage and clothes.
Which brings up a few of the negative aspects of this game. There’s also a car dealership where you can buy a car to sit in your garage when you get one. A hardware store to buy flooring and wallpaper. There’s a furniture store, nicely separated into floors containing items for different areas of your house. A clothing store where you can outfit your pet in different styles of clothes and costumes. When you level up you get to buy new items from the shops and, at certain points, a new room gets added to your house. You get these points by wiping your pet with soap, cleaning up the horrible messes it makes, buying new things for the house, buying it food, and interacting with your friend’s pets. You can level up your pet by gaining “love” points. Usually this is a pet “treat.” It has a nice effect for each treat which makes getting new and different ones interesting.
#PETVILLE FACEBOOK FREE#
Sound familiar?Īs is customary with Facebook games, you can send and receive free gifts between friends. Once that’s done you’re tossed into a new house and ready to begin cleaning and feeding your pet and buying a bunch of stuff to customize your house. You begin the game by creating your humanoid “pet” by changing its looks and giving it a name.
