Is there a guide somewhere? Help someone!

I've been "playing" this game for a few days, but I really don't know what I'm even doing.

The only way I've been able to level up is by doing the collecting thing and feeding pets. But aren't customers supposed to be buying the pets? I have not seen any purchases yet. So I'm really not understanding that. It doesn't make sense. Shouldn't I be getting coins from people buying the pets?

Not so much a guide but there's a link to a spreadsheet in this thread (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?25225-Breed-Information-Database) that has helpful info

The only way to make money is from collecting from pets, visitors are just scienery, no practical purpose, same as decorations. Gems can only be make through installing and playing games whenever asked for.

I don't know how long I'm playing, but I have 110 types of pets, completed all goals, have almost all crossbreeds, and even the dog that costs 149 gems - without paying anything. It can be done :)

Please not that iOS players do not get gems for downloading and playing other games. There are goals tat give gems but they're different.

How did you do it without using or paying for gems? Please do tell the only way I get free gems is by doing the installation of new games that teamlava post on your game

"Customers" are just decorations. The ONLY way you make money p, in this game, is by collecting from your pets and they only hold a certain amount according to their level. You can earn an extra few bucks when a neighbor "plays" with them. When you see you pet shining lightly with hearts you know they've been played with and you'll earn an extra few bucks. I can't honest.y remember if it's $5 or $20. But only one nbr per pet I'm afraid so if you only have 6 pets and 20 nbrs who like to visits regularly you need to clean up your pets pens even tho they may not have made any of their own money yet you will still own your nbr's visit gift and then other nbrs (and community members don't forget about them) can visit that same pet again and again as long as you keep clearing the gift from the pet. So you earn money two ways:a) from the pet - according to its level and b) your nbrs and community members but never from the random people walking thru your door and no, you don't need a cash register.
