Okay, this was cute as hell and made me laugh when my first playthrough ended with my family being disappointed because my pet didn't grow. It made me play 10 MORE TIMES just to show THEM. Anyway, I thought it was funny and extremely addictive. But I ended up just mashing the middle of the screen just to get enough points for my pet to evolve before the timer ran out. You may want to have text windows if you want to give advice on-screen, or make it so the player has time to read what the screen says so their time doesn't run out before they've finished reading the instructions.
