I looked around. It's very much in its infancy. There's one game, which is based on Breakout; I love Breakout but this game either doesn't offer interesting layouts or drops, or doesn't offer them until you get to a higher level than I reached, so it's not terribly enthralling. Payout seems to be on the order of 1/20 -- I scored 5100 or so points and got 250 or so LP. It is a Flash game. The only other way to make money right now is restocking. At a glance that doesn't seem very promising, but I don't believe I saw an actual stock, so I'm not qualified to say.
The art is very pretty, pet and item art both. The pets have a distinctive style that I quite like. One of them, the Aruna, shares a name with the act of sex as performed by the hermaphroditic post-human jerks in Storm Constantine's excrable Wraeththu novels, but I don't think that's a deliberate reference. God, I hope not. Those books are so bad. ... where was I?
The site is full of 404s. It's possible some stuff just doesn't work in Opera, but I suspect the site is actually just full of 404s. I am not impressed with the art for the map, nor any of the text rollovers.
I have not located any sort of pet color database (though I haven't looked very hard); the site is so young there may still only be the basic colors, of which there seem to be three, red, blue and green. It may not even be safe at this point to assume that there will eventually be more colors than those.
