The game was available to download on the Windows/Microsoft Store, however, it was removed in 2024.
Frojo Apps
Frojo Apps is a mobile app developer based in Uppsala, Sweden, known for creating virtual pet games for iOS and Android. Moy, a purple alien that resembles an octopus, serves as the company's mascot, appearing in seven mainline pet games, and numerous spinoffs. Frojo Apps also made similar games including Loy (a blue boomerang-shaped character), Joy (a light green character with arms), Meep (a blue character with arms), and other games starring a variety of other animals like chickens and dogs and cats.
Before Frojo Apps was formed, the CEO of the company, Fredrik Röstlund, worked for a now-defunct app company called Nealo Inc. One of the games created by that company is My Virtual Pet Care[1], and the premise of the game is to take care of a square magenta character which resembles the aforementioned Mou. The game bears many similarities to the first Moy game such as the reused sound effects and the general layout of the game.
