An iPhone version is in the works.
A virtual pet that lives in his own house.
A virtual pet for children that doesn't need looking after. The Egolino lives his own day in the house: he plays, explores and sleeps. Children watch, pick him up, toss him and give him toys.
Egolino Kids / Virtual pet
Today I slept in my bed for the first time. So soft!
A real sentence from his diary in the app.
IN HIS ROOM
WHAT HE DOES
He moves
He walks, climbs the stairs, jumps into a box and peeks out. Toss him and he falls, lands and gets back up.
He plays
He digs for his ball in the toy chest, chases it, and opens the fridge to look inside.
He writes it down
In the evening his diary says what happened. His dreams are about it too.
BULLDOG, CAT OR GOLDFISH
NO HUNGER BAR
Many virtual pets need feeding on time, or they get sick. Egolino Kids doesn't work like that. There's no hunger meter, no health bar and no countdown.
He gets tired, sleeps and wakes up again. He never dies, and a break of a few days costs nothing.
A WHOLE HOUSE
Besides the living room there is a kitchen, a bedroom and an attic. They are unlocked one by one with marbles from the jar, and marbles come from playing.
In every room there are things that do something: a fridge that opens, a block tower he knocks over, an old chest with a teddy inside and boxes he hides in. Each room has its own page, linked at the bottom.

QUESTIONS
Can the Egolino starve or die?
No. There is no hunger meter and no countdown. He gets tired, sleeps and wakes up again. Nothing is lost if nobody plays for a while.
Is this like a Tamagotchi?
It may remind you of one: a small pet that lives on a device. In Egolino Kids there is no hunger meter and no countdown; the Egolino lives his own day in his house.
Can my child chat with strangers?
No. There is no way to write to other people in Egolino Kids. In online games, children only see the other Egolino play, without names and without messages.
Is Egolino Kids free?
Yes. The app is free and has no ads. Marbles for the shop come from playing. Grown-ups can buy marble packs, but only behind the parent gate.
