The game's logo.
Status: Lost
The virtual pet website Neopets has had a couple of spinoffs over the years, whether they be games on the site or just different websites or apps altogether, including The Last Smiley, Neopets Mobile and PetPet Park. PetPet Park was opened in October 2008 by Neopets and Nickelodeon Kids & Family Virtual Worlds Group[1] and focused on the Neopets' companions, Petpets.
Before it opened in October 2008, it started as a mini-plot in Neopets, where Neopians would go on missions to help agents "make sure any Petpets crossing over to Neopia arrive at Petpet Park safely".[2]
Gameplay
The game was similar to Neopets, with players having the ability to customize and feed their virtual pets. There was also 9 species of Petpets to choose from as of 2014 but started with six pets Pinoxy, kassegat, dyrm Oukins,dipni and hifflo. Later paid pets were added such as the puxa, mumbat and bandalu rebuild mostly from existing petpet art.
Restoration efforts
Two groups currently exist to rebuild petpet park with different focuses and objectives
online version
Petpet park rebuild started in 2021 by cosmicpopstar
technical skills unknown,
offshoot of petpet project due to petpet projet unwilling to make a online version
Offline version
Petpet Project rebuilding under Project X by kassegathdr4k
Started in 2014 by Admin gab as a memorial in 2014, early efforts were rooted in preserving and saving availible files on the web and seeking others doing the same early days didn't result in much of a actual game rebuild. many attempts
were done to preserve maps by youtube videos and etc
but the discovery of the maps by nary. made many of these
obsolete but the tutorial map.
Drama between the groups are killing the games survival as a whole
both groups are unfriendly with each other and dividing the petpet park rebuild effort isn't being very successful
and making game restoration difficult.
Petpet Projects stance on community files
We believe that any group that finds files should also be fully rewarded for their efforts as well as how to get INTO the files if their unable.. this means properly crediting the group that found them in mentioning them, as well as sharing precissely how to put them together, and or etc. we do not believe individual artists work who redrawn art should be unless the artist agrees to it.
a line in the sand
in september 2022 a leak of neopets accounts was noted in the news and as a result, Petpet park Rebuild via the reddit user neo_truths recieved a list contained the following which petpet project was also able to obtain through alternate sources
petpet park petpet art for all six petpets(Pinixy,dyrm, kassegat, dipni, hifflo and oukin ) in swf form for base colors, includes four beta colored pinxiys. THe stock colored ones are availbile on archive.org
early beta art and animations for the petpets
a selection of clothes from the store wearable by the petpets
its notable that these files are NOT easily viewed even if you have flash and require extensive assembly in animate cc to even view.
the assembly was done on petpet project[3]( and shows many of these petpets in action. Petpet park rebuilds discovery of the files is in their progress video[4].
the second file cache
In the video also noted was a few games that petpet project was not able to look at , nor will petpet park rebuild share with petpet park project to attempt to restore to our knowledge or other sources. the source of this cache was not found by petpet project and while it looks completely viable to save, it appears that the world will not get to play these games until the needed skill to access them is obtained by petpet park rebuilds.
Games
Frantic farmer
Wardrobe wars
Beta Maps
early beta maps of petpet park were teased but were not shown whole and look to be zone files for petpet park to
load under openspce MMO engine.
Misc. content
photos of various quest pieces and etc are known about from the video [4]
Petpet park games that were reskinned for Neopets
Neeterball now known as Pakiko- game was located and is archived but not yet playable.
this file was found on neopets.com but isn't loadable at the moment, preservation efforts are underway for this
game.
Invasion blastoids
the original game in the park was called sword of the cyodake king and is accessable using the following url:
http://images.neopets.com/games/g1330_v0_90432.swf
some quirks appear as ohter files were edited for the neopets game but this hopefully can be fixed.
other games that are found but not yet playable
Boat Blasters(neopets game : Coal war tactics) accessable by using V0 as the swf version for the game on neopets.
University exam was located and is currently being restored.
Games found on archive.org
Stack happy on flashpoint but broken due to a loading error(noted to fp)
Bonbon pickup same as above.
Games found on other sites:
Castle defender (on flashpoint) .
Unreleased games:
Files were found reflecting a reskin of the game Castle defender
called/ "pharows last stand" but was not looking
completed.
Closure
In 2014, Neopets was acquired by the educational franchise JumpStart.[5] Many things would be moved to a different place, but Petpet Park was not included in this group of things included in the move, as stated in a news post by Neopets on September 9th, 2014. The game then closed down on the 18th.[6]
No playable versions of the game have surfaced since then, and in May 2017, Neopets stopped paying for the domain, and the site's current state is an advertising page unrelated to Neopets.[7]
