The game's menu is accessed by dropping a special black card included with the game. This will summon to the screen a menu which can be manipulated by the player's hands. The card has other uses in the game as well depending on the context and gestures the player makes with it. These alternate uses for the card are selected from the menu summoned by the card.
 
In addition to the obvious sandbox virtual-pet style gameplay, the game also include minigames each with a leaderboard to foster competition. If the minigames lose their appeal, the player may also draw objects onto a piece of paper and "scan" them into the game by holding the paper in front of the camera. The pet will try to recreate the drawing himself. Then, the drawn object will come to life as a 3D object. 

Character customization

The player may choose fur patterns, hats, and clothing to customize the look of their EyePets.

Retail packages

In addition to the standalone game, consumers may also purchase the game bundled with the PlayStation Eye.
