Bongo VPet - Taskbar Buddy

A tiny VPet device lives on your desktop, and a pixel pet lives on its screen. Every key you press and every click you make earns a Bongo Point and makes your pet hop. Work, write, chat or play: your pet keeps you company while the points pile up.

Type. Treat. Care.

Every 250 presses a treat drops onto the screen. Feed your pet, check its mood, play the catch game, clean up after it and turn off the light at bedtime, all with the device's own three buttons. A content pet adds a 5% bonus to your points.

A box or a key every 30 minutes

Every 30 minutes of play, a box and a key pop up beside your devices. Pick one for 1,000 Bongo Points: the key, or a box that spins in on its own reel. Every new player starts with a key.

Open it on the reel

Put a key in a box and it bursts open on your desktop. The cards run past, slow down, crawl over the last few and stop on what you got. The odds stand right beside the reel before every opening. In a series box: Common 70%, Rare 22%, Epic 6%, Legendary 1.6%, Mythic 0.4%.

A Mythic find is announced to every player.

7 device series

Classic, Tiny, Bat, Cat, Dino, Link and Rainbow: every series has 20 looks across five rarities and its own box. Rare looks come polished, metallic, holographic or glowing.

Pets, straps and charms

The Pet Box holds 16 pets, each in the classic green LCD look and the rare Color look on a bright backlit screen. The Accessory Box holds straps and charms that swing from your device as you drag it around.

Collect, trade, trade up

Fill your BongoDex with 250 items. Everything is a Steam Inventory item: trade boxes and finds with friends or on the Steam Community Market. Duplicates are kept, and with Trade Up, 10 items of one rarity become one random item of the next.

Features
