- Laptop users who want a playful desktop companion
- Worth noticing
- The site says more than 100 of its 200 tricks happen automatically, shuffled so none repeats until the full set has played.
Field notes
The homepage includes controls for choosing Bandar’s name, the user’s name, language, and behavior level; it says both names stay on the device. Its browser demo runs faster than the real app, and actions labeled “Experience on download” are reserved for the purchased version. The site also previews other animal characters as future free updates.
