Tamagotchi are egg shaped virtual pets that you can feed, play,dicipline,and care for. Your tamagotchi can even find romance!You start with an egg, you set the time date and your birthday and wait five minutes. After five minutes a tiny black(buy) or white(girl) blob will hatch. It'll walk around at the bottom of the screen.You then name it. After you name it, I'll beep for attention, you'll have to feed and play with it. At this stage it will tend to beep every 3-5 minutes. Your tamagotchi will never die at this stage.At about 30 minutes you little blob will change into a child.It may turn into a marutchi(blob),hitodetchi(starfish),kuribotchi(acorn),or kinakomochi(blob with bump). At this stage, do not feed it too many snacks or else it will turn into a spoiled brat. At this stage it won't need as much attention. They'll sometimes beep for no reason, this is a sign that you will have to give them a time out and also they might beep and start crying, this is a sign you'll have to praise them.Now in 1-2 days your little blob will change into a teen. Do what you did when it was a child , feed and play with it regularly and don't feed it too many snacks.Soon, about 1-3 days it will change into an adult, to tell you how well you've been taking care of it. When your tamagotchi is 7 days old, an old tamagotchi will appear holding a book. This tamagotchi is the matchmaker. She comes to find a mate for your tamagotchi. She'll bring out a tamagotchi and ask "love?" If your tamagotchi finds a mate, fireworks will appear and after the fireworks your tamagotchi will stand next to a baby blob.After two days, your tamagotchi will leave the baby at night and you will have to tend to it.But If you press "no" on three tamagotchis when she asks you, she won't come anymore and your tamagotchi will be lonely. Soon enough, your tamagotchi may die.But you can always press "B"the middle button and a new egg will appear on the screen.
