Take care of your virtual buddy of choice! Have fun together (play an increasing number of minigames, listen to music and watch videos) to make sure they are satisfied! You can also connect with your friends!  Return to your pet daily to help it prosper! As presented during the SGDA Summit 2022 and 2023 Student Games Showcases!

The plot:

One day a little robot vacuum from space landed on Earth, crashing into a small-town laboratory. After being discovered in the pile of shards and rubble by one of the interns (a.k.a. the player), the cutesy device turned out to be a friendly, pet-like companion with a very unusual power... turning itself or all of the surroundings into any objects imaginable! Deciding to befriend and reverse-engineer the small cleaner, your goal is to help them survive, stay happy and make sure their mission of exploration is successful, before it's time for the inevitable grand return to Venus.
