My Talking Tom is the first game of My Talking series, and a virtual pet game which was released on the 11th of November, 2013 for Android and published by Outfit7. It was a massive success, getting one billion downloads, and spawning seven sequels, My Talking Tom 2, My Talking Angela, My Talking Hank, My Talking Tom Friends, My Talking Angela 2, My Talking Hank: Islands, and also My Talking Tom Friends 2. It plays similar to old Tamagotchi Machines and Pou, a mobile game that came a year before the app.

Overview[]

My Talking Tom is a game similar to virtual pet games. In this game, players will have to take care of an anthropomorphic male cat named Tom to help him grow. The players can do so by feeding him when he is hungry, taking him to the toilet whenever he needs to urinate or defecate, or put him to sleep when his energy level is low. The players can also become friends with Tom by petting him and playing games with him or taking a shower. Since Tom was formerly naked, players can give him his own style by choosing clothes to put on him.

Controversy[]

Ben, we have a child present!
This article/section contains mature content, which includes language, sexual references, etc.

The app was reported for having advertised age-inappropriate ads for adult services. In 2015, the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that advertising for an adult website was delivered to underage children via the app[1][2]. The ASA noted that Outfit7 "had a strict advertising policy" but that the company "had not been able to identify which ad network had served an age-inappropriate ad on a children’s app" and how the ads were shown in the app[3].

Facebook features stopped being added to older versions in late 2019.

  • In some Samsung and likely Huawei devices (Android 9 devices), when the game installs data and starts up, there's a rendering bug that always shows Tom's eyes, rooms glitched, and everything is backface culling. This happens mostly in v1.0 until v1.3 versions. This is also known as the "1999 Glitch."
  • If the player's old Android device has 99% of used storage or has bad RAM, the game freaks out, and Tom's animations bugs out, making only the mouth and the eyes have working animations. This is also a variation of the "1999 Glitch."
