Hatchi, the popular virtual pet for iPhone, has finally arrived
on Android. Just be warned that this app could be quite addictive especially to
those who used to raise their own Tamagotchis.

The Tamagotchi fever is coming back! Gone were those days
where we used to keep our virtual pets in cute keychains as we hung them on our
necks and bags. And speaking of which, Portable Pixels has finally released its
famous retro virtual pet for Android app and it goes by the name of “Hatchi”. The app can be downloaded for a very pet-friendly price of $0.99 at the Google PLAY
Store.
Developed by Portable Pixels, the Hatchi virtual pet app aims
to rekindle the joy and excitement that we once felt for Tamagotchis. It comes
with very simple visuals that can be somewhat compared to phones with low
profile monochromatic LCDs. You will then start by naming your very first virtual
pet aka your ‘Hatchi’. It will start as an egg and will soon evolve according
to how well it was raised. If neglected, the Hatchi could get sick and die. That
being said, this new virtual pet for Android could be a good simulation game
for kids especially to those who are planning to raise their own pets in the
real world. With Hatchi, you will need to be mindful of your responsibilities
as a virtual pet owner. Apparently, the virtual pet will act like a real pet.
It will ask for food and it could feel sad when ignored.
That’s not all. The game could be addictive as it will bring
this certain kind of bond between the Hatchi and its owner. It is also very
simple to play and it won’t oblige you to familiarize yourself with complex game
commands and controls. All that you need to do is to raise the virtual pet
well, keep it happy and allow it to evolve through time. By then, the happiness
and excitement of seeing your Hatchi evolve into a healthy creature could
definitely be the most awesome reward that you can have as you have spent a lot
of time and effort to make it evolve.
