My Tamagatchi Forever

**My Tamagotchi Forever** is a free-to-play mobile game developed by Paladin Studios. The game was announced on November 23rd, 2017, on Tamagotchi's 21st anniversary, and was officially released to the public on March 15, 2018.

## Features

The game will allow the player to raise a Tamagotchi along with exploring Tamagotchi Town. The player can earn coins and level up through playing minigames, and share memorable moments with friends through the app. The player can also unlock food and costumes for their Tamagotchi, as well as buy decorations for Tamagotchi Town. As adults, they have careers, which require things such as reaching a certain score in a game, eating a certain type of food 10 to 15 times, and acquiring the outfit associated with that career. When completed, a new egg will hatch.

### Minigames

* **Match 3**: The player must connect up vials of different colored potions. Unlike in other match 3 type games a potion may be moved without making a match, however, levels must be cleared within a limited number of moves. Match 4 for a row-clearing arrow. Match 5 in a straight line for a rainbow star that will clear all the vials of a color it's swapped with. Match 5 in a right-angle for a colored star that acts as a bomb clearing a 3x3 area. Features Mametchi.
* **Planet Hop**: Playing as Kuchipatchi in a space suit, the player must tap to launch him to the next planets while avoiding suns and blackholes, but gravitational forces may send him off track into space. Collect stars for points.
* **Band Practice**: Tap the notes as they appear and collect coins along the way. Features Memetchi.
* **Hide and Seek** (**Only for Apple ARKit and Google ARCore supported devices**): Place a miniature version of Tamatown on your floor, then walk through it to find the hiding characters within the time limit. The current Tamagotchi the player is raising can be followed around the town to help find the hidden characters, and a red exclamation mark will appear above its head when it's found someone.
* **Hoops**: Shoot one of the 3 basketballs into the hoop. As the player progresses, it gets more difficult. When the player runs out of balls, the screen will show the word "OVERTIME!" and the player has an infinite amount of basketballs before the timer on the hoop runs out. Features Kuromametchi.
* **Doodle Pairs**: You have to find matching items within a time limit. You have 3 chances at missing before the game is over. Features Chamametchi.
* **Layer Cake**: Stack cakes on top of each other. Placing a layer imperfectly makes the next one smaller. Features Neliatchi.
* **2048:** Based on the open-source clone of the same name. Slide matching numbered blocks together to form larger numbers, culminating with one block having the number 2048. The game is over if no more moves are possible. Features Violetchi.
* **Scoop Tower**: Move an ice cream cone to stack ice cream while avoiding vegetables. Stacking multiple scoops of the same color exponentially increases the points for the next scoops, and scoops with toppings provide bonus points. Features Orenetchi.
* **Bridge Builder**: Tap and hold to extend the measuring tape, release to create bridges between book stacks. Land the ruler on the star in the middle of the book stack for double points. Features Mimitchi.
* **Witchcraft**: Copy the pattern of sounds and lights of potions. Features Sebiretchi.
* **Fruit Slice**; Clone of Fruit Ninja. Cutting multiple fruits in a single swipe gives you more points. Missing a fruit or cutting a spicy pepper makes you lose a heart, while cutting an ice cube will slow down time for a while. Features Puchitchi.
* **Bouncy Balls**: Inspired by Breakout, but you manually aim the balls instead of reflecting them back with a paddle. Black holes remove the balls for the current attempt, but are given back. Paddles cause the balls to go flying in random directions. Floating balls on the screen can be picked up for extra ammo. Ice blocks are 2 layers thick, and rainbow blocks explode after you hit them enough times. Features Meganetchi.

## Tamagotchis

Unlike other Tamagotchi installments, growth is determined not by quality of care, but instead what foods the Tamagotchi is fed. Baby stages have an equal chance of that character appearing. Toddlers evolve from Babies after 4 hours, Teens evolve from Toddlers 36 hours after that, and Adults evolve from Teens after about a week. Tamagotchis also do not die, run away, or return to Tamagotchi Planet, but instead grow and take on careers no matter how well cared for they are.

## Trivia

* Despite featuring hunger, happiness, and hygiene meters, Tamagotchi's cannot die and do not run away in this game, even if they aren't cared for at all.
	+ The energy meter (which is part of the app’s business model) actually encourages you to neglect your Tamagotchi. Energy depletes as long as your Tamagotchi is not in bed, so keeping them in bed - even while starved, bored, and dirty - conserves energy.
* While Paladin Studios is a Dutch company, the game is originally written in English. The Dutch translation of the game is done by a different company and is of low quality. No translator is credited for any language.
* It is the first Tamagotchi game that's not made for a Nintendo platform since Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi for the PlayStation 1.
* Instead of turning the light off at night, here, turning it off lets your Tamagotchi sleep, while turning it on wakes them up. Regardless of this, the notification says *"Hey, I'm awake. Turn on the light!"*.
* This is the first game to feature background characters as playable characters (i.e., Ebatchi and Murachakitchi).
