Community Insight:
We love having our little Latte. We really wish there was a way for users to recover their hedgehogs if they passed away. Unfortunately we forgot to feed Latte and she passed away..Ill start over again cause our family and we love this, but definitely wish theres an option to revive/recover.
This is one of the best games we have played!!!But we also have recommendations first let us have multiple hedgehogs so they can have a friend.2 we all would love a shop and toys and some clothes.3I would LOVE if we could cut some of there spikes like a haircut.we like how the hedgehog game is simple but any updates can you make it a little more complicated.Love your game thank you for letting us name them and have a good day or night.
This game is so relaxing and helped us a bit with our depression after losing our own hedgie. If the creator takes suggestions into account, it would be cool to have an option to decorate your hedgies cage and maybe something similar to pokemon GO where you can use your camera to play with your hedgie and give them snacks.
It is so fun and reminds us of our childhood headaches.
Is this app ever going to let the hedgehog not die it is so sad when it dyes.
Amazing app but we went away on vacation for a week go to our parents and sister and he died so that made us kind of sad RIP, sir fuzzy ball.
Our hedgehog is named johnny we love him.
We love the game & 1000% recommend to anyone who loves hedgehogs as much as we do but one suggestion we would like to be able to pet our hedgehog! We love our hedgehog & we would love our Oakley even more if we could pet him so pls fix.
Like the game but toys for the hedgehog and petting it would be good additions it would Make the game better. See the food you can feed it and water.
Alright first thing, people r saying that ur hedgehog could die. We have 8 of the games and none of them have died yet. Second of all, everyone is saying they need to add more stuff which we agree with them so they need to add a little shop to buy stuff for ur hedgehog whitch would make everything easier! Lastly we would recommend yall taking better care of ur pets cause thats why they be dieing.
It was fine but the age says 4 and up and when 4 year olds play this game they would cry because the hedgehog will be dead.
We like that this is a visual pet but you need to pick it up you cant give it a bath so we give it 3 stars.
We have a few recommendations here are a few. First, maybe add a shop to decorate your hedgehogs cage and decorations to place. Second, PLEASE ADD TOYS in real life hedgehogs nerf toys so please add toys to play with your hedgehog. Last, maybe add like health and if you don't take care of it realistically then it will die. Bye thats all for us hope one or two of these happen bye have s good day/night.
This is very good and easy app but we would love if our hedgehog would grow faster it has been 8 days and it is still very small it hasnt grown at all Well we cant see it.
We love this game so much we play most of the time in the day we love interacting with it the hedgehog is so cute if you think its a real member of the family and keep you company at lunch when youre sad we recommend you play this game we love it.
We just love your games! And think that you should make a dog one (if you haven't).
This is our first day of downloading this app, and we love it already! Hedgehogs are our favorite animal so we enjoy randomly checking in on our hedgie. Its so simple to feed and you can just feed it and clean the cage for free! Its simple and easy, yet quiet entertaining! We also have the parakeet, tortoise, and Axolotl one. You should download this today.
We absolutely adore that some stranger made this sweet little app that helps our own attention deficit disorder on high anxiety days. Its darling in a world where everyone is fighting online around going on to have something so simple and easy to focus on it is a lovely treat. Bravo designers and thank you for your helpFrom both us and our baby hedgehog.
We recently lost our own hedgehog, and this game has brought us so much joy.
We formed a transfer code at our android phone,but we cant find a place to enter in iPhone platform. Is it a bug.
Its so really its like so fun and its like you get to take care of your own little pet.
Really like this game we have a hedgehog we. Real life but its fun to watch this one grow just like our real one we had him die 4 times though but we still played it love th game keep making updates.
We love this game and we also have the axolotl game and its turning out well! But we would want it to have more features, maybe theres a shop and you can buy toys for your hedgehog (or axolotl) and you can customize the cage? That would be super fun, other than that we really like this game! :).
We cant stop playing we love it get it now.
Hello so today our hedgehog just died.
Too many ads, nothing to do. Reviews are fake.
We didnt have time and it died… Like bruh,,, pls make it so the hedgehog is invincible cuz some people have a life.
This game is very calming and fun too play we totally recommend.
Im in the first day and Im already enjoying it! We didnt want to keep the name hedgehog. So we decided to name her Luna.we love Wacthing her eat! We like to check on her and feed her a few times each day. We like when we tap on her, she lays on her back. We have some of your other games. It would be helpful if you could add toys for when the hedgehog is young and is still exploring the world ( we feel that since the hedgehog will be barely ready to take this on so toys might help them settle down.) and when they grow out of the toys and dont need them anymore. You can gift them to baby hedgehogs. It would also be helpful an inventory was added, so you can add stuff like a toy, a water bowl, etc. Otherwise its a great game! We hope that whoever reads this might find this review helpful. Im playing on iPhone 11 or 10 ( we dont know xd) version 11.4 incase that helps anyone if we could we would give the game a 1000000000 star rating Edit: we have a wish list for virtual pat games you could make Pig Cat Fish Monkey Monster Horse Edit: Rest In Peace; Luna (new one is Sabrina).
Rainy,hedge the hedgehog,pokey,small spike,spikey.
We love it so much we want to burst with joy Ive had him for 3 weeks and you have to feed him every day.
We love this game because we've always wanted a hedgehog and now we have one on our phone.
We personally love the game, the music in the background is very calming and stress-relieving. Having a therapeutic virtual hedgehog helped us to get over the passing of our real pet hedgehog. If your looking for a simple game to take your mind off things, look no further than this one.
The hedgehog is so cute and we love feeding him. 10 out of 10 will play again.
This game has been so so cool we love it! Its so so cute.
The game provides a wonderful and soothing experience with a hedgehog.
So good but our feedback is that you should make it like you can see your pet get a bath to see what its like.
Its just so cute. Fun, relaxing, and entertaining.
The music fits in perfectly and it makes our happy place happen.The hedge is so cute so when we go into the game we take one look at the hedge and we start wispering hedge hedge hedge and we feed and clean the cadge.
This little guy looks exactly like our real hedgie. Would be nice to have a couple more features but the app is fun and works great.
Hegiekins is well cared for. Cheked on 2x a day, the little guy luvs us.
We love this app Im a busy student and we never have time for more in-depth games this is perfect and adorable.
We love the game it really entertaining for us and gives us some responsibility for feeding the pet. Thank you for making this game.
It was so cute and fun and cute and fun with all of our favorite things to do and then we just want to get it.
We love hedgehogs and raise them, so when we're at work, or not home, this app makes us feel like we're at home with our babies. Simple and basic, but cool for the hedgehog lover.
Please make a button that Id you dont have time though you can hit it and it will do its needs.
This game is amazing but sad. Why? We were somewhere and didnt have our ipad with us. That means we couldnt feed our hedgehog. Or our Axolotl (another of your games). Please make it so there is a button to make it so just in case you dont check on your pet they wont die. Maybe make it so after your pet has gotten reasonably big this button shows up. This would help so much.
We have two of our own hedgehogs at home and we were interested in games of one ( not sonic) and we came across this one and rlly liked it.
It needs more work!A little boring! We know its pretty hard to make a game,But when you clean the cage their should be a sponge.
We agree with the other reviewers- the ability to interact with the hedgie would be fun.
