Free-to-play virtual pet app
My Talking Bella – Virtual Pet is a free-to-play simulation app from GoodSoundsApps. This lets you talk, play, and take care of the titular virtual pet, Bella the Bunny. Aside from the usual activities expected from a so-called modern Tamagotchi, this app features a lot of minigames to keep you entertained for hours on end. Earn coins and give Bella the best life you can.
Its child-friendly visuals, fun sounds, and light games make My Talking Bella - Virtual Pet a perfect game to keep the young and young-at-heart entertained. It’s a good alternative to the smash hit My Talking Tom.
A whole day of fun and games
To give you the whole experience, My Talking Bella – Virtual Pet, offers a backstory by letting you start your adventure with her at a young age. You feed her, dress her up, and even guide her to the restroom in the tutorial phase, with cute, child-friendly visuals. This is a refreshing addition to the genre, instead of a pet that’s suddenly in your care.
You will need to earn coins in order to provide for your new pet. To do this, you can play any of the built-in minigames that cover a variety of genres. From the standard tic-tac-toe, match-3 puzzles, and platformers, there are a lot of options for passing the time. With every game you play, your account levels up and you gain access to more features and cosmetics.
However, compared to the original games like Talking Tom, Bella feels short in terms of being interactive. With other apps, you can talk to them or at least have them mimic your words in their own voice. They also respond to touchscreen commands, letting players tickle them. This app has no such thing, making it a more static virtual pet.
Minigame-rich virtual pet
Overall, My Talking Bella – Virtual Pet remains a good app for people looking for another virtual pet app or for fans of bunnies in general. Its use of a backstoryduring the tutorial period better establishes a connection between you and Bella, and you also get to play and care for her. The app makes up for lacking responses for voice and touch with a lot of minigames.
