Super Auto Pets is best described as an auto battler game where you are matched against an opponent who also wields deadly animals. You buy animals from a shop, level them up with experience and food, and watch as they try to wipe out the opposing team.

The goal of Super Auto Pets is to get 10 wins before running out of lives. This typically takes anywhere from minutes if you play straight through. However, there are no time restrictions or time-outs in this game! You can play a round, put down your phone for an hour, and return to continue your next turn. Super Auto Pets is the type of game that you can play even when you just have one hand available for tapping on your screen.
