Inbox Creature is a virtual pet for email, made using click automations at AWeber. Sign up and you'll get the little blob delivered to your inbox with a choice to feed it one of two things. Based on that choice, your creature will change and grow. There are currently 3 days worth of choices, but I'll be adding more if people like it!

@jeff_osborn thanks so much for checking it out. I only built in 3 days worth of choices so far (4 total emails) and each choice is a pretty big evolution from the previous day, but I was thinking of adding much smaller daily changes after you reach the final form on day 4 if people like it. As you play with it, let me know if you dig it and would want more content.

@clickpop Cool -- I'll let you know! Would be really cool to have it evolve further. A lot of work though. Maybe an opportunity to apply AI and get a buzzword boost for your project?

Very funny & very nostalgic !

Thanx to Inbox Creature, i've kind of changed my feelings toward my inbox from despair to fun ! good job for this little game !

Pros:

Lovely made !

Cons:

Interactions out of the inbox in a new tab (maybe integrated interactions ? )

Thanks so much for the review! I'm going to look into making it a more interactive directly in the inbox. I initially hadn't focused on that because of the ways different email clients restrict what you can do (like gmail behaves differently than outlook, which behaves differently than everything else!). Also, there are only 4 days worth of emails (3 total choices), would you want more days worth? If enough people are into it, I'll add more content!

@meineleserei I definitely spent way more time than I'm proud of nurturing a Tamagotchi back in the day. If you end up playing with this at all, I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks for even taking a look!

I really enjoyed engaging with this product. I loved seeing AWeber's automation and personalization capabilities leveraged for something fun and entertaining.

Pros:

Creative and fun. Very entertaining.

Cons:

Would love to continue seeing my creature improve or change. Maybe hairstyles or outfits or something.

Who WOULDN'T like this???? Were GIFs considered for the creatures so they look even more adorable? I finished my inbox creature a while ago so I can't remember but thought GIFs would be a good idea.

Pros:

So fun! I'm all for "daily" fun stuff like this.

Cons:

Short! But I know you're working on enbettering it.
