Tamagotchi Description
Kawaii Tamagotchi
The Tamagotchi (たまごっち?) is a handheld digital pet, created in Japan by Akihiro Yokoi of WiZ and Aki Maita of Bandai. It was first sold by Bandai in 1996 in Japan. Most Tamagotchis are in a small egg-shaped computer with an interface usually consisting of three buttons, although the number of buttons may vary. Tamagotchis are a small alien species that deposited an egg on Earth to see what life was like, and it is up to the player to raise the egg into an adult creature. The creature goes through several stages of growth, and will develop differently depending on the care the player provides, with better care resulting in an adult creature that is smarter, happier, and requires less attention.
Mechanics:
Upon starting the game, five eggs appear on the screen. The player will choose an egg that will be his pet character. Five eggs contain different characteristics (geek, sporty, rebel, preppy, kind) that are set randomly. The egg will wiggle for several seconds, and then hatch into a small pet. The player can name the pet; he/she can also care for the pet as much or as little as they choose, and the outcome depends on the player's actions. Pets have Hunger meter, Happy meter, and Discipline meter to determine how healthy and well behaved the pet is. Filling up the Hunger meter can be achieved by feeding the pet a meal or a snack. Filling up the Happy meter can be achieved by playing “Tumble Bill” with the pet. Discipline meter can be filled by pressing the "Hummer Icon" option when a pet calls for attention but refuses to play or be fed. The pet will leave droppings around the screen from time to time, and can become sick if they are not cleaned up. Before the pet goes to the bathroom, it will make a face and stink lines will appear around it. If the player activates the toilet icon during this animation, but before the pet has gone to the bathroom, the pet will use a toilet instead.
If the pet gets sick, an Ice pack icon appears to the head
