Petville on Facebook - Zynga's Answer to Pet Society

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. With the popularity of Pet Society there was bound to be a new version of a simulation game in a virtual pet world. How is this going to be better than Pet Society? I'm not really sure but we'll just have to wait and see. For now let's take a closer look at Petville and as the game comes along I'll offer some Petville tips and tricks once I get a feel for the game. Expect all these sections to expand soon when more about Petville on Facebook comes out.

Starting out In Petville on Facebook

petville on facebook



Petville on Facebook starts out like the rest of the simulation social games, with a tutorial. This time you're guided by your first neighbor called Nosie. Get it? Nosie Neighbor? Haha. The first thing you do after adding the application is to create your character. Choose from over 20 different colors to make your pet and then you can keep the pet as is or change the following features:

Head
Eyes
Mouth
Ears
Brows
Nose
Pattern

All of this can be changed later by clicking on the "Makeover" in the Petville World.

From there we go to our house and we are shown how to clean our pet, dress our pet and shown the various features of the game. From there you're on your own on Petville on Facebook.

How to Earn Petville Coins

Here are the ways that you can earn coins in Petville. Hopefully this is something that will expand soon so there are new ways to earn Petville coins.

Visiting Neighbors and doing activities

When you visit your neighbors in Petville you''re asked if you want to perform a certain activities or actions. These activities include High Five, Gossip, Tickle, Dance, Kiss and Handshake.

Cleaning up your Neighbors House

Your neighbors are messy, after all they are animals. Sometimes they leave things laying around on the floor. When you visit them and clean up after them you earn some extra coins.

Feeding Your Pet

Yup, just by feeding your pet allows you to earn Petville coins. I'm not exactly sure why this is but hey, why argue? There are several different kinds of food you can feed your pet but you have to reach a certain level to unlock some of them.

Petville on Facebook Startup Items

The following is a short list of the albums you obtain when you first start playing Petville. If this list differs from when you first started it's because they added to it after I was already involved in the game. If there's something to add don't hesitate to leave a comment.

Clothes:

5 shirts (choose black, blue, red, pink or white)
1 Pair of Medium Blue Denim Pants
1 Generic Gray Shorts
1 Stonewashed Denim Skirt

House

Food Bowl
Flower/Vase

Storage Box:

In your storage box you get the following items to start off the game with:

Soap
2 Custard Treats
3 Heart Treats
2 Lollipop Treats
Leatherbound Books
Dark Wood Short Shelf
Tan Short Shelf
Tan Medium Shelf
12 Different Colors of Wallpaper

Your first Petville tip: There are some things here that you will probably never use so you may as well just go ahead and sell them to get some extra coins. Yeah, I know you can call me Captain Obvious.

Petville Stores in the Petville World

Basically there are 3 stores, a place to change up your pet and the bank is nothing more than a link to where you can buy coins to do more. Not much yet. Hopefully more soon.

Initial Conclusion on Petville

petville tricksIf this all sounds familiar I can assure you you're not alone. It does very closely resemble Pet Society and Zynga has pretty cloned the game that others have already developed. Does this mean it won't be as fun? Not necessarily. A lot of people probably won't even notice. Zynga is very good at marketing and that's what has allowed them to release games that are derivative of others and still be successful.

This is in no way meant to bash Petville or Zynga because the game is probably going to be fun once it evolves more. People love pets and these games are great for kids and adults alike. The game is still in the very early stages so let's wait and see what happens before jumping to conclusions.
