Karugamoland (Tamakaci) duck virtual pet- comments ok

[lunarsght]

I got an ancient Karugamoland (bill spottend duckland) game and was happy to test it!
I had some trouble with batteries, lr44 was a bit big for the battery compartment, and I got lr43s to work but sounds are a little on the low volume side. I dunno if the battery is right or wrong.

Anyway, I was happy to see it was working:



After setting the time up, the duckling came out of the egg:


Aww, a tiny blob with a tiny beak.


This pet has all the common functions of tamagotchi p1-2 ones. For food, we have main food (birdfeed? rice?) and a snack (turnip?) also water:

Feeding animation is cute, a big duck appears and gobbles up the food very fast. The animation is very fast, which is a good thing, IMO.


For games, there is a card game (which I couldnt understand as for now) and the usual tamagotchi 'guess which way I will stop looking' game. Again, a symbolic big duck plays the game:

Win at least 3 out of 5 and the duck becomes happy:

There is a mood function, which shows the duck's mood. I find this a bit odd, most vpets put the mood in next to other bars like food, discipline, sleep, etc. This pet has those in another function. Mood function is solely for happiness:


From my research, this pet shares gyaoppi animations and the duck can evolve into many different forms. I will look forward to it. For now the little duckling is fed, watered, played with and is happy. It has an empty sleep bar, though I guess the pet does not go to sleep on its own? There is lights off function which I will try tonight.

You can put it to sleep when you want, and wake up whenever you want. There is a sleep meter, it fills up slowly while asleep and empties while awake. I like this a lot, dinkie penguin needed constant attention or playing with the clock during the day, this way is much more convenient. Sleeping animation is cute, too!

After the clock hits night 00.00 it ages one year. Now 1 year old, with head feathers becoming longer:


Aaaand after waking up it immadiately pooped for the first time:


I was expecting it to poop more frequently, to be honest. We will see..

 

[lunarsght]

Had a calm weekend at home...fed, played with, cleaned. No sickness because I took great care of the pet. It called for no reason and refused to eat, so I had to use discipline option which filled its education meter a bit.

Now 2 years old:

Its sleep meter is totaly empty, and I guess it may have effect on its evolution further. So I put it to bed for now.

 

[lunarsght]

When I was feeding my duck today it suddenly became sick:

It looks like it has watery stools, diarrhea or something? To cure it I selected ambulance icon, there was an injection or pill to select. It refused injection but pills did the trick. I guess the injection is for more severe ilness?

I try to give the perfect care but it still got sick? Am I doing something wrong in feeding (too many snacks? too few water?) or is it just bound to happen like dinkie penguin's recurring sickness.

3 yrs old. Teapot duck!!!

Gonna be busy at work. Will see how it turns out for the ducky, will be able to check in 1-2 hours.

 

[lunarsght]

It was allright in the work day. Got sick once while feeding (again! am I feeding it wrong?)

It lost one hapiness heart in 1-2 hours. I am getting pretty good at the game, I got the timing I think. I get 5 wins most of the time.

This pet is pretty easy and fun to take care of!
4 years old, didn't change, still the weird teapot duck!
The discipline meter is empty, it might be I missed discipline calls. If they have a time limit when misbehaving...this might affect its evolution.

 

[lunarsght]

Ducky became sick again while feeding, this time it looked more serious:

Luckily, this time injection cured its ilness.
I feed it immediately when hunger meter goes down tiny bit, maybe that causes sickness from over-feeding? I need to let it drop more before feeding, I think.

 

[lunarsght]

5 years old, didn't change...a bit dissapointing, I need to change my care routine a bit?
Didn't feed too much today, kept the hunger bars near half...it didn't become sick, so I think that's good. Filling its stomach too much causes sickness, I think.

 

[lunarsght]

6 years old, healthy duck. Didn't overfeed so no sickness.


Took my duck with me to lunch. How cute!

 

[FrugalGamer]

That sleeping animation is beyond cute! Did this come with any info about who made the pet? I found some pics of a similar one online and the back didn't have any info on it. Just curious if this was a line or just some dollar store type thing.

 

[lunarsght]

@FrugalGamer there is no info about who made thsi pet, sadly. The packaging is all in japanese.
There is english version, 'perpetual duck' I found in this video:

also found this, another english version:

 

[lunarsght]

7 yrs old, turned out to this crazy thing:


Started to misbehave often, gave discipline quite a few times. Discipline meter is full now. Will see if it will affect evolution.

Gave a little too much water for breakfast and it immediately got sick. Must be careful when feeding.

 

[lunarsght]

8 years old. Looks like a budgie?

I am getting a green Karugamo land soon! Maybe we could do a Karugamo land group hatch soon!

 

[lunarsght]

@TamaStewart cool! That would be sweet! I also wonder if you will be able to close the hatch of it with lr44 batteries, this particular vpet seems to use lr43s. here is my thread about it:
https://www.tamatalk.com/threads/which-battery-size-for-karugamo-duck-land.201291/

Unfourtunately my own passed away at night while sleeping, at 9 years old. I have made some mistakes in feeding, which had caused it a lot of sickness. Now I will try again.

Important thing with this pet: do not feed it to full, leave hunger/snack/water bars at least a little empty. Feeding to full repeatedly causes sickness and it may have caused the prematural death of my pet.

Rest In pepperonis Quacky boy…

Ha ha already started second run. This time I don't fill hunger/snack bars fully, but do fill the sleep meter to full- exact opposite of what I did.

2 yrs old, new form:

This form is cuter, may be due to better care, or it's random?

It probably is due to care - Gyaoppi-based stuff usually has a LOT of different evolutions for all possibilities.

Agreed

 

[lunarsght]

Yes, it could be that. I took great care not to over-feed, leaving one bar of hunger empty. Never got sick. Sickness is not unavoidable, like it was in dinkie penguin.

3 yrs old, cute ducky
