Critterhaus

About this game

Critterhaus is a cozy virtual-pet game where you raise not just one creature but a whole household of them. Every pet has four needs that slowly drift down over time, Hunger, Happiness, Energy, and Cleanliness, and you top them back up with the Feed, Play, Clean, and Sleep care actions. The needs keep draining even while the game is closed, so checking in on everyone is part of the gentle daily rhythm.

Your home is made of rooms, and arranging who lives where is a real choice: pets who are friends stay happier when they share a room. Coins earned in quick mini-games let you adopt more of the fifteen pets, expand your house with new rooms, and decorate each one with coordinated themes. Almost everything you do earns experience toward a shared household level that unlocks new room themes as you grow.

How to play

1. Tap a pet to check its needs, then use the Feed, Play, Clean, and Sleep buttons to top them back up.
2. Needs drift down over time, even while you are away, so check in regularly to keep your pets content.
3. Tap Earn to play the mini-games, Treat Rush, Bubble Pop, and Snack Match, and collect coins.
4. Spend coins to adopt new pets, add rooms, and decorate, and keep friends together so they stay happy.

Tips & strategy

• House friendly pets together; pets who are friends drain happiness more slowly when they share a room.
• Check in often. Needs keep draining while the game is closed, so a quick visit keeps everyone happy.
• Save your mini-game coins for adopting new pets and expanding the house rather than spending them all on decor.
• Keep earning experience to level up your household, which unlocks new room themes to decorate with.
