Hatch - GameClub App Reviews

The pet does nothing but eat and respond to basic interactions. You have nothing to do but feed the pet and make basic interactions.

Terrible "game." Pointless. Absolutely nothing to do. It wouldnt even be that much of an upset, but its not actually 90 MBs. Its 350. Definitely not worth a third of a gig on my iphone. Total waste of money. But nicely packaged. Well done, marketing department! Save your $$$ everyone else!

Not very engaging given all the hype and very very buggy. Deleting it!

The fugu is cute and makes you want a real pet pretty bad but after feeding it and petting it a few times it can get really boring. Updates might make this game better

Great game,but theres nothing to do other than feeding then sell the fruits then buy a carpet...

Its the most cutest thing ever!

Was eagerly waiting for this app. Have used it for a week and am sadly disappointed. It started off nicely and seemed to have potential but delivers little over the passage of time cept for a crying pet every morning. Feel like it was a waste of money.

Simply outstanding.

Since the new update, every time I pick up the poop, it keeps popping after...I cant even feed him! Please fix the bug!

I had high hopes for the game but am pretty disappointed overall. The play on guilt far exceeds the rewards and number of things you can do for fun in the game.

Gets really old and boring after a couple of days

It is a very fun app, although it gets repetitive it still keeps me entertained after a week of playing it. I am also confused on how to take a photo of your fugu with the camera, I can only take regular photos of the place around me. But overall, a fair app.

Im very happy with the app and Im giving 5 stars for the fact that there are no in-app purchases. It felt really good to give my child a complete toy with no strings attached for her ipod. Gorgeous artwork, very nice art :)

The app crashes a lot, sends push notifications in the middle of the night to say my fugu is hungry but its sleeping, and still poops too much.

This app succeeds in the beginning, but unfortunately it never changes and that is where it fails. This game fails to capture the most important aspects of virtual pet games, most importantly being that it changes or "ages" over time behaving differently at each age. Second, the pet should be able to die, not just "run away". Third, friends pets should be able to interact, this is a huge missed opportunity. The iPad could have been used as a large place with multiple pets. But no, you just eternally pick three kinds of fruit off trees, feed the pet, rub its belly, feed it more, it poops, you scoop until a ring of flowers fills around it. Then they go purple, fruit grow extra fast and then you get a star fruit, then it resets. The store fails to capture my interest, the items in it are totally visual except for maybe two things. Then, the next day you open the app and its crying, and you nurse it back and repeat. Every arbitrary "anniversary" you get a surprise party, which is cute but even that becomes so repetitive. All considered, this app is ridiculously repetitive and you quickly come to dread having to look after your pet. There is no sense of dynamic change over time, no real consequence for not taking care of it as it just "runs away" but even then Max can usually go fetch it back (Max is actually one of the most annoying mechanics). There is no aging, reproducing, dying or anything like that which helps other virtual pet games stay interesting. Its unfortunate, because visually and initially it was compelling.

Every time I exit the game it it restarts my whole adventure. So I have it hatched and fed and the gift shop is up then I exit it out and poof I have to hatch my fugu all over again

This game is amazing and cute. But after the update it lags and crashed only 3 minutes into my session :(

No sooner do I get a fugu pet and play it either crashes and I have to restart or when I exit and reopen app Im restarting a new fugu. Have my iPod touch at the most recent iOS. Would really like to play without the issues.

Its a good game, but since I work and have a busy life I sometimes dont open the app all day so my fugu runs away... It makes me feel guilty! I wish there was a vacation mode or something...

This game is great if you want to feel like crap. This game needs settings as to play activity. Too much running away, and now hes gone for good, and wants me to start over. This is ridiculous for being a paid app. He doesnt grow, sounds can be more monster-like instead of a kid, and should be able to live throughout a day when people WORK all day. Tone it back a bit and you get more stars from me if it matters.
