VPet-Simulator A little friend on your desktop

VPet puts a small anime girl (rename her if you like) straight onto your screen, on top of everything else. She walks around, sits down, climbs the edges of your monitor and generally treats your desktop like her room. You touch her head or body, pick her up, and she reacts with one of more than 200 animations. You drop her in a corner while you work, and a while later she wanders back across your browser window as if she pays for the internet. If she gets in the way, grab her and move her, or turn on the mode that lets your cursor pass straight through her so she stays visible but never blocks a click.

This is a pet with needs, not a decoration. You keep track of her hunger, health, mood and energy: feed her, give her something to drink, play with her, and send her to work or study so she earns money you can spend on food, items and care. Neglect her and she gets hungry, tired or sick, which the game makes sure you notice. It is low pressure by design, a gentle routine you check in on between other things, but she does have opinions. Skip a meal and she might turn her back on you, and somehow that stings more than any game over screen ever could.

You can add new pet animations, items, food and drinks, jobs, speech text and whole themes, or go further with code plugins that add features like alarms and dashboards. Prefer not to tinker? Other people's creations install with a click, so your pet can learn new tricks without you touching a line of code. And because it is all shared, the fun is social too: you can show a friend the strange pet you downloaded, or put your own animation up for everyone else's desktop. If an idea is not supported yet, the source code is right there.
