Neopets Mobile is not a standalone game, but an extension of the online community neopets.com, where you can create or adopt a pet, and then look after it. This game allows you to continue playing through your cellphone when you are not behind your computer, making it the first full W2W (Wireless-to-Web) application.

The pets need to be fed and you can buy, trade or sell items. By downloading your pet data on your mobile, you can continue playing. The game is shown on a small part of Neopia, the world where Neopets live - a location you cannot access from the web. This location is Lutari Island where inhabitants all wear beautiful colors. On Lutari you still have access to shops, bank, training school, Bog of Charity and a lot of other locations that allow you to buy all the items your neopet will need to live correctly.

Along with the application, 2 mini-games are included, providing neopoints needed to buy items. The first, Lutari Race, is a jump-and-run game where you need to avoid objects and collect bonuses. The second, Blockstravaganza, is a Bejeweled clone. Depending on your performances you will earn more or less neopoints.

All users carry an empty Lutari talisman. By visiting certain pages on the site, you can collect beads for it. Neopets Mobile extends this feature by providing beads if you refer other users to this mobile version. [source:mobygames]
