On my first run I never pulled a second tamagotchi and died pretty quickly. So I decided to try zen mode.
Zen mode, it said.
DOES THIS LOOK ZEN TO YOU
No, it was a constant stimulation overload of cascading DEATH.
Amazing A+ 10/10.
Then I went back to try on normal mode again, and got a luckier run. I made it to level 46 with 34 tamas, which I'm proud of. Once I have a lot, I end up giving up on doing the minigames in favor of doing a bunch of clean and feeds quickly, to get cash and buy more rolls. I love the stickers.
The only thing I didn't like was when the tamagotchi vibrates in your hand when you're trying to click a button, and you miss the button because of it. The motion when trying to rearrange them on your desk also felt a little wonky.
Overall really enjoyable!
