Pet Simulator X

Lore & Background

Pet Simulator X was developed by BIG Games and released on April 1, 2021. It did not have a paid closed beta or any association with Sega or Sonic the Hedgehog. The game is a pet-collecting and trading experience, not a speed-based platformer.

In Their Own Story

The player walks around and collects Chaos Orbs and rings around a world (map). While walking around gives them XP, collecting Chaos Orbs gives more XP to help them level up, which then increases their speed and jumping power. The maximum XP earned per level increases with the level. Other ways to earn XP are by running and jumping through Sky Rings, completing quests and Time Trials (challenges that involve passing through spawned checkpoints and reaching the goal within a world as fast as possible), and buying from in-game shops. At any time, the player can rebirth, which resets the player's speed, power, and level, but returns Skill Points, which can be used to buy permanent upgrades. Initially, the player's character is their Roblox avatar, but they can obtain Sonic characters to play as by completing Quests and limited-time event objectives, collecting cards, redeeming codes, and purchasing them for a limited time. Trails and pets, which give upgradeable benefits, are obtained through spending rings on vending machines and completing Quests, event objectives, and Time Trials. Trails and pets can be leveled up at Upgrade Machines with rings, Red Star Rings, or both, and identical ones can be fused together into 'Evolved' forms. To unlock the next world, the player must earn five Gate Keys from Quests.

Reader's Guide

To progress efficiently, focus on collecting Chaos Orbs for XP to level up and increase speed and jumping power. Complete Quests to earn Gate Keys—you need five to unlock the next world. For extra XP, run through Sky Rings and tackle Time Trials, which involve passing through spawned checkpoints and reaching the goal as fast as possible. Spend rings at vending machines to get Trails and Pets, which give upgradeable benefits. Level them up at Upgrade Machines using rings, Red Star Rings, or both, and fuse identical ones into 'Evolved' forms for stronger boosts. If you want to reset your stats, use the Rebirth feature—it returns Skill Points for permanent upgrades. You can also unlock Sonic characters by completing Quests, event objectives, collecting cards, redeeming codes, or purchasing them for a limited time. On February 26, 2023, a new feature called 'Auto Run' was added, where the player automatically runs around the entire map and collects rings and XP without any control over their character. Many players expressed disappointment with this update, citing the slower pace, not being able to jump or go side-to-side, and the rewards system as downsides.
