for a first time
it isn't bad at all. but it's really not up to par with many other games that are out there. But like I said, it's actually not that bad if it's your first try. I agree with the guys before me to try for something more like a tamagatchi kind of game. There are plenty of those type of games out there to get ideas from. coming first would probably be health and happiness bars then more options and then if you want, different bars for things like cleanliness, hunger, etc. Good luck with it.
