The Adrenaline Vault: "VPPP gameplay is based upon two factors: happiness and commerce. Your mission is to make as many piñatas happy as possible, then sell them off to have their guts blasted by temperamental pre-teens. This is done primarily by coaxing the creatures to visit your garden, providing them with the things they need to become permanent residents, then building them a home in which they can reproduce, which provides you with piñatas to sell. All of this requires a surprising amount of patience, since you get very few hints about what needs to be done to level up. I spent a considerable amount of time doing the piñata version of the World of Warcraft level grind, continually breeding piñatas to make enough money to build the more expensive homes that other piñatas need. Also, there are certain piñatas found in the early part of the game that must interact with piñatas that don't appear until you've leveled up several times, which adds to the frustration factor; after several hours of play, I was only able to progress to Level 4, which is only about 15% into the game. On a positive note, VPPP forces you to save before exiting, and it autosaves at intervals of time instead of progress, so you'll never have to replay a scenario once it has begun"
