About

Attract and tame your favourite Piñatas. There are more than 60 species that roam wild on Piñata Island. Personalise everything from the grass at your feet to the hat on your Piñata's head. Welcome to Piñata Island, enjoy your stay!

Story

On the vibrant Piñata Island, living piñata creatures shaped like animals make their homes in the gardens that dot the land. The player inherits a neglected, overgrown plot and sets about restoring it, tending the soil and growing plants to entice wild piñatas to visit, settle, and eventually raise young of their own. As the garden flourishes, its caretaker must also protect it from troublemakers like the mischievous Ruffians and their leader Professor Pester, along with the destructive "sour" piñatas that seek to spoil all the hard work.
