       Stats #

Check on how your monster is doing in the stats screen. Here you can see there age, weight, hunger, happiness, and discipline. Be sure to check this screen often to see if your monster needs any attention. If hunger or health reaches 0 hearts, the alert icon will start flashing.

       Feeding #

The feeding screen lets you feed your monster either a meal or a snack. Meals will increase your monsters hunger meter, but they will refuse the food if they are full. Snacks will increase your monsters happiness but will also increase their weight. Be careful not to give your monster to many treats or they might become overweight and get sick!

       Mini Games #

Play games with your monster to help keep them happy and healthy! There are two games to chose from:

• Guess – A classic in the pet game sphere. Simply guess the direction you monster is going to face by pressing left or right. You have 5 chances to guess correctly, and must get atleast 3 correct to win.
• Mimic – This time your monster will show you directions, and then you must remember them and repeat them back using the dpad. To win, repeat back the directions your monster gives you 5 times, each time with an extra direction to remember. You can make up to three mistakes before losing the game.

       Medicine #

If a  image appears on screen it means your monster has become ill. Use medicine to cure them of their sickness, but be careful not to give them medicine when they’re healthy or they may get upset.

        Clean Up #

Monsters need to use the bathroom just like everyone else, if droppings appear on screen be sure to clean them up right away. The longer droppings are left on screen, the more likely your monster will get sick.

         Lights #

Monsters have a strict sleep schedule of 10pm-10am (Your playdate local time). Monsters get nightmares when they sleep with the lights on so be sure to turn them off when they fall sleep, the sooner the better! Your monster will automatic turn the lights on when it wakes up.

        Discipline #

Sometimes your monster will act out and require discipline. You will know if your monster needs to be disciplined if it beeps for attention with full hunger/happy meters, or refuses to eat or play games despite having empty hunger/happy meters. Be sure to discipline your monster when needed or it may evolve into an unruly monster, but also be careful not to discipline them when they are not misbehaving!

        Alert #

When the  icon is flashing it means your monster needs attention. When your monster initially calls for attention it will also beep at you providing the game is currently open. Things that your pet may need attention for include, hunger, happiness, clean up so be sure to check the stats screen to know what it needs. If the alert icon is still flashing when hunger/happiness/clean up is good, it means your monster needs to be disciplined.
