“Finally, a game that promotes (and reinforces) positive, long-term mental-health habits! It's enjoyable & the artwork is beautifully done. Daily goals are customizable, but there is a variety of preset goals to choose from to get you started. It's calming at the end of your day and refreshing at the beginning. Doesn't leave you frustrated and mentally depleted like most other games. Plus, magic kitties! ❤️😻”

“It's clear that the people behind this app care about helping people. I am genuinely floored about how focused the game is on self-care and the player. This is especially apparent in the 'free trial' aspect of this app- none of the self-care elements are behind a paywall, and they have an entire system for people to donate full copies of the game to those in financial need. The game is reassuring and never unhealthily pressures. also the animation is so good. I'd say more but I have no more space.”

Ratings and reviews

Amaru is a great app for stress relief, journaling, and taking care of a winged cat. However, there are a few bugs that I have been facing. One of them is Amaru not giving me the Burn journal which says that It can be claimed after he explodes in the beach area. I have sent him to explore for 15 and 90 minutes, yet he never comes back with the book. Another one is the game is simply crashing or never loading properly, I am not sure if it is because of my device, but it doesn't happen too often.

Great app!! Amaru is animated so cutely, and the game reminded me that I am supposed to care about how I feel! Only thing I would add is more guided practices, there isn't as much variety there. Edit: recent updates have made the game even more enjoyable, with cat customizations no longer locked behind any sort of paywall, Amaru making adorable purring sounds, and players being rewarded for actually looking at the news feed, which only has exciting information! love this thing.

Amaru is a perfect place for those of us who need to set goals and meet them in fun ways! I have tried dozens of apps for mental health because I am autistic, have anxiety and this is such a cute, fun way for me to set goals. Plus Amaru rewards you, gives you fun mini games to play, and is beautiful. Plus helping those who can't afford the key is such an awesome thing. Thank you Devs for this amazing, positive and generous app!! Its the only one I will use. No ads, paywalls! This is awesome!
