Ahoy there me lads and lasses! Your friendly app pirate is here again ready to go on another booty hunting adventure around the seven seas. The crew and I stopped by land to get some stocks and we also had the chance to visit this park that was pet friendly. My parrot pet had a great time playing with other animals. There were different kinds of animals, so me and the buckos also enjoyed it since we loved animals. We were reluctant to leave because we were having so much fun, but we had too as our schedule was packed. Thankfully, I found this game that let me continue that experience even if it’s only online. Let me share it with you in this app review. It’s called Sundae Picnic – With Cats & Dogs by Juli&Tan.
It’s free and there are no forced advertisements
You can get this game for free and it is also playable offline, making it a casual game that you can pick up and put down anytime. There are also no forced advertisements, so you can play without being disturbed by constant ads, which is a typical scenario on many free games. Although there are advertisements, it’s up to you if you want to watch them, and if you do, you will get rewards. However, you may experience glitches of the advertisement not loading properly and not giving you the reward.
It has lovely artwork and relaxing vibes
The artwork is eye-candy. It’s relaxing as it’s set in the park. You start with a piece of land that you decorate with various furniture and items to turn it into the perfect picnic heaven for cats and dogs. There are more lands that you can purchase and decorate as you earn coins and progress in the game. It’s highly customizable, so you can make the area look however you want. You can also rename the animals that you collect or make friends with.
You don’t feel forced to make an in-app purchase
Since there are rewards that you can get from the game and you earn coins from selling ice creams. Although it comes with in-app purchases, you will not feel forced to do so because you can keep moving forward without spending cash. But of course, you can acquire items faster and also purchase premium ones if you do. Otherwise, if you are good with the non-premium items, you’re okay to play without real money.
It lacks engagement and can get repetitive
There’s a tutorial in the first part, so you’ll know how to navigate the options. But aside from selling ice cream to the animals, there’s no other interaction or engagement that you can do with them. It would be more fun if you can do more things with them like play with them. It can also get repetitive and there’s no more room for more once you decorated all the spaces.

Thumbs down
