About Bova Buddy

It has opinions. Bova Buddy is a virtual pet game where your pet is a rock. Swipe to pet it, earn its trust, unlock its moods and sarcastic remarks — and watch a stone slowly learn to like you. No ads, no accounts, plays offline. KEY FEATURES - Pet the Rock: Swipe to pet it. Longer strokes build more trust. Tap it or shake your phone and it reacts — but don't overdo it, or it gets offended for a moment. - 4 Relationship Levels: Go from Suspicious Mineral to Familiar Boulder, Stone Companion and finally Kindred Rock. Every level changes its face, mood and what it says to you. - Cracks & Life Cycle: Each level leaves a crack. At 100% the rock splits, your "rocks broken" counter goes up, and a new rock arrives to start over. - Rare Events: A 5% chance after every pet — critical pet, sneeze, identity crisis, a 3-second nap or a perfect swipe, with banners, sparks and haptics. - Coins & 19 Skins: Every pet earns a coin; level-ups and broken rocks earn more. Spend them on pirate, astronaut, knight, samurai, punk, Midas and more. Each skin changes both the rock and the world around it. - Stats Screen: Trust, level, mood, total pets, rocks broken, days together, daily average, coins earned and spent, unlocked skins and milestones. - Daily Visits: Check in every day for +1 trust and a growing "days together" streak. - Reminders: An evening nudge at 7 p.m. with a line from your rock, and a gentle reminder if you've been away for 3 days. HOW IT WORKS 1. Meet your rock. 2. Swipe to pet it and earn trust. 3. Unlock moods, phrases and skins. 4. Reach 100%, say goodbye, adopt the next one. MADE FOR SHORT BREAKS System, Light and Dark themes. Sound and haptics you can turn off. Reset the relationship anytime — the rock will remember that.
