I don't really get why they have discontinued ghoul catchers and are now releasing a similar game no one asked for, but ok. It's Jumpstart we're talking about.

Thoughts?

I like the cuter take than Ghoul Catchers, but why can’t they use actual Neopets or petpets?? I want to be able to play more games on site? I’m not interested, and it looks like a cash grab. Focus on the actual site please Jumpstart.

Who is the blue haired character in the first ad?? So they made a generic match three that feels like it has nothing to do with Neopets other than the Aisha and the fact its called Neopia Studio. Idk the point in making this.. Tbh I wish this was on site instead of FB. It would be nice to have more to do on Neo instead of needing social media to partake. :c

So while on a personal level I think it's dumb they discontinued Ghoul Catchers for another Bejeweld clone, Ghoul Catchers was based off the totally-not-supernatural event and now that that's gone to Super Hell it might be a bit out of vogue, and this new style is one I've seen in like...match three games personalized for youtubers and shit, so I guess it's popular?

I've been seeing ads like this on facebook way longer than a week, I honestly didnt know it was really neopets releated? Thought was a like a bootleg or something.

This art is so well rendered, why can't we put this kind of effort back into the site?

Confused by the actual game pieces, they look like generic cats and frogs. Could have easily made them into little petpet heads or something. Did they just have assets to reuse?

EDIT: ah i guess the cat has a halo?? maybe its an angelpuss?

Actually, they have designed it as petpets (even though it doesn't look like petpets at all, I agree with you it seems generic) and even made a survey asking for community's feedback in 2020. There's a (you need an account to see links).

Looks like these ones didn't make it into the beta based on the new screencaps?

Apparently, they choose the second option from that thread

So like, the worst option. They gave the Cyodrake two eyes?? This really doesn't feel like its marketed towards Neopians, but a more general audience. Therefore, fated to die lol
