Pixel Pets

NullDaily

Raise a pixel pet. Feeding it feeds your debt payoff.

Pixel Pets

Raise a pixel cat that gets hungry, bored and sleepy. Everything in its shop costs a little (50 cents to $3), and every purchase is a pledge to your Budvo jar. When you smash the jar, those pledges go toward your debt.

  • Moods: happy, okay, hungry, tired and asleep. Fullness, fun and energy drift over time, even while Budvo is closed.

  • Shop: kibble, a bouncy ball, fresh fish, a yarn ball and a party cake. Each one shows how it helps.

  • Jar today: how much the jar got from your pet today and how much of the daily limit is left.

  • Daily limit: at most $5 a day, or less if you lower it in Budvo. When the limit is reached, the shop closes until tomorrow and says so kindly.

  • Debt going down: with the summary permission, your pet celebrates when your total debt dropped since your last visit. In privacy mode it skips the amount (or the check, if Budvo says no).

  • Budvo asks first: before each purchase goes into the jar, Budvo shows its own "Pixel Pets wants to put $1.00 in your jar" question (unless you turned that off for this add-on). Say "Not now" and nothing goes in; your pet just waits.

Nothing here moves money. Pledges only add to the jar, and a smash never takes checking below your safety net.
