I love it it's interactive and not put behind a pay wall or loads of ads

I don't know why this game isn't more popular. It's super chill and cute. The currency system feels very balanced so far, I don't feel like I'm missing out or being punished for not buying premium currency. Every dot looks so different and interesting and there are so many traits to discover. You get rewarded for taking your dot on walks, but the game is perfectly playable if you don't. The AR is a little glitchy sometimes, but I like to think that physics just work differently for Peridots ;)
