Game playing behaviour which may be of concern to some parents When friends run out of lives, they are given the option of asking friends for more lives via Facebook. A leader board is shown of “Top Friends”, which displays the player’s first name and profile picture.

Prompts are regularly offered to connect to Facebook to “see how your friends are doing”. The password remains valid for 30 minutes to continue purchasing, even after the game has been exited and resumed.

There are many levels, each level becoming more difficult, with new challenges. This helps clear a path to “rescue” the pets.
