Critter Cove

Mabel the capybara gives you your very first egg. Pop it in a nest, watch it wobble and crack, and meet your new best friend: a fluffy Puff, a leafy Pip, a crystal Spike, a fire-tailed Ember, a bubbly Bubbles axolotl... or a legendary Drizzle the cloud dragon.

Feed, pet and play with your critters and make their wishes come true. They grow up and lend you their powers: bounce up to the Sky Shelf, dig up buried treasure, glide off cliffs, smash crystal boulders and swim out to the Pearl Islet.

Your own island: sail over with Captain Shelly, decorate your cottage inside and out, and grow a garden (look out for Golden and Rainbow crops).

Play with friends: trade critters (a meter tells you if a trade is fair), play hide and seek, visit each other's islands, whoosh down the giant water slide, race up the Sky Course to a cloud island, start a water balloon fight and fish off the dock.

Day turns to night: toast marshmallows at the campfire and watch fireworks over the sea at midnight. All October it's Halloween: find pumpkins, catch ghosts at the lighthouse, trick-or-treat for candy and hatch Boo the ghost kitten.

Hunt for Shiny and Rainbow critters, fill your Critterdex and fuse four grown-ups into one that Glows.

WASD or the stick to move, Space to jump, E to do things, Q for your critter's power, R to ride, H to decorate. Touch and controller supported. Your critters save to your VYRLD account.
