Author: Fennell

Tamawatchi is a Tamagotchi-style virtual pet that lives right on your Garmin watch. Hatch an egg, raise your little companion, and keep it happy, fed, and healthy - all powered by your real-world activity. The more you move, the better your pet thrives.

Adopt one of five pixel-art animals, watch it grow from an egg into a full-grown adult, and discover what it becomes based on how well you care for it. Every visit is a quick, charming check-in: feed it, play a mini-game, clean up, or tuck it in for the night.

Key Features:
- Five adoptable pets, each with its own art: Cat, Dog, Dragon, Penguin, and Fox.
- Name your pet: pick from a set of names when you adopt it, rename it any time, or type a custom name from the Garmin Connect app.
- Four life stages: your pet grows from Egg to Baby to Teen to Adult over time.
- Expressive moods - it looks happy, sad, sleepy, or sick depending on how it feels, and breathes gently when idle.
- Five needs to balance, each with its own icon: Hunger, Happiness, Energy, Health, and Cleanliness.
- Feed it - and every animal eats its own favorite food (the cat gets a fish, the dog a bone, the fox berries...), nibbled away one bite at a time.
- Play quick mini-games - Play picks one at random from several (catch the ball, a reaction test, a button masher); the better you do, the happier your pet.
- Clean up after it - poop piles up over time and must be cleaned before it makes a mess.
- Sleep - tuck your pet in for a multi-hour nap, and it even dozes off on its own at night.
- Medicine - nurse your pet back to health when it gets sick.
- Playful animations for every action: food eaten bite by bite, a refreshing shower, a bouncing ball, drifting Zzz's, and more.
- A living day/night world with a sun and clouds by day, a moon and stars by night - your pet sleeps when you sleep.
- Aging, evolution, and legacy: how you raise your pet decides the adult form it grows into, and when one pet passes on, the next generation hatches and inherits a trait that helps it live better.
- Powered by your activity: your real steps and heart rate feed and energize your pet, so wearing your watch and staying active keeps it thriving.
- A live activity panel on the main screen showing your daily steps, heart rate, and your pet's happiness at a glance.
- Glance support for an at-a-glance status check from your widget carousel.
- A watch-face complication so your pet's wellbeing can show on your favorite watch face.
- Simple, touch- and button-friendly controls, plus a settings menu to toggle vibration, rename or change your pet, or start over.
- Your pet's state is saved between sessions and keeps living while the app is closed - check back later and see how it's doing.

How to Play:
- Open the app, choose your pet, and give it a name, then press START to hatch the egg.
- The main screen shows your pet standing above a live panel with your daily steps, heart rate, and your pet's happiness.
- Care for your pet: press the START button to open the Care menu. Choose an action - Feed, Play, Clean, Sleep, Medicine, or Discipline - and it happens right away. Play launches a random mini-game.
- Check the stats: tap the screen (or press the UP/DOWN buttons) to flip to the Stats page. It shows all five needs, your pet's age, and its generation. Tap again to go back to your pet.
- Keep the needs up. When Hunger, Happiness, Energy, Health, or Cleanliness runs low, your pet gets unhappy - feed it, play with it, clean up after it, and let it sleep. Move around during the day, too: your steps and heart rate help feed and energize it.
- Let it rest. Choose Sleep for a multi-hour nap (it also falls asleep on its own at night). Press START to wake it early.
- Settings: long-press the MENU button to toggle vibration, change your pet, or reset the game. Press BACK to exit.
- Stick with it. Raise your pet well and it grows into a special adult form; over time you can pass a helpful trait down to the next generation.
