Tombagotchi
Battle virtual pets trained by players around the world with Tombagothi!
Every single player's pet battles in real time through the power of THE INTERNET!
Raise your very own tombagotchi to be the very best fighter the world has ever seen. You need to be prepared, as every 5 minutes a grand BATTLE ROYALE takes place to determine the greatest tombagotchi of them all!
Instructions
Leave your pet running, keep it fed and clean, and play with it frequently to create the very best fighter! It will evolve every so often, reaching full evolution at around 45 minutes. It can still become more powerful after this.
Speed controls how fast a tombagotchi moves.
Strength controls the health and damage output of a tombagotchi.
Dex controls how good a tombagotchi is at getting away from danger.
Play minigames to improve these stats, selecting them on the menu with the 1 and 2 buttons on your keyboard.
Every 5 minutes a battle will start. You have no input, but if you have trained your tombagotchi well, it will triumph
Controls
Control the tombagotchi handheld with the 1, 2, and 3 keys.
On the main screen, use 2 to change modes and 1 to perform an action. Other screens have instructions on how to use the buttons.

The game was pretty fun, and I enjoyed seeing the different species. Online worked perfectly as well, and I enjoyed my time. I also really liked the way that the "arena" looked, and the particles helped a lot. As for the minigames, I liked the speed and dexterity minigames, although strength felt somewhat boring. I would have preferred a more active option for while the minigames were loading, possibly giving each game its own timer, but otherwise I had a lot of fun. Great job!
I'm just wondering... My pet is now breed booldur, stength 22, speed 8, dextity 7, has a sir title and seriously nothing can kill it... is that supposed to be like that?
That thing is a monster though :P
Ok thats weird my dead sir JDA is still around raiding half of the games
I must admit that I'm not a fan of these rudimentary interfaces, but this is authentic to the tamagotchi interface so it must be that way :-)
The trainings for speed and dexterity require skill, while you cannot fail in strength, is this correct?
BTW, I'm still playing.
but hey, event if there are some bugs this game is super advanced and really cool
I guess it would be superhard to balance it to make it less easy to dominate. Maybe each battle is between 5 or 10 tombas and not all? That way people could hope to avoid SIR ALFRED and get some wins themselves.
Also today we open game with friend and have different battle results for same matches. Didn't notice this yesterday. And somehow we have beaten sir alfrbd several times :D
And wow, this game is successful because it looks like a true Tamagotchi! But, after a moment (a little moment for me), the game is boring :/ ...
