Damn those random firing weapons are useless, though.

I think there would be a huge difference if the blur created for the depth of field effect would take into account the shape of the aperture of the lens. This bright spot for example should be taking the shape of the aperture (which would depend on how many fins the aperture has).

My daily adventures with Kingsford, a Hatchi on Android.

I woke up this morning to my first ever notification alert. Kingsford wants your attention! I excitedly opened up the app to be greeted with a huge shit on the floor. Awesome, thanks, little blobby thing. No big problem, one press off the baby button (which is the bathe button), the turd is gone and my blob is happy again! I put Kingsford to sleep, and headed off to the train station.

I decided to check in with my little buddy while I was on the train, and to my surprise, he was no longer a little blobby thing! Kingsford had evolved into a little spikey blobby thing, or some sort of very small sun. He's not quite as cute now, but I can live with this. I let him sleep, I'm sure evolving is not easy work, and he deserved it.

About half way through my walk from the station into work, I got another notification. Kingsford needed my attention again. I was hoping for something awesome after he evolved, like he woke up and suddenly this thing would become more interactive. I was to be severely disapointed. Kingsford took another shit. It's hard to be mad at hime though, and he seemed so proud.

Stay tuned for more aweso-tacular adventures with Kingsford.

From what I've seen, I am struggling to justify spending $60 - $70 (AU) on this game. I would wait until it comes down in price, but Nintendo games just don't. Super Mario 3D Land and Ocarina of Time are still $60.

@BraveToaster: Every Monday they get a mailbag with random candy, beer and obscure comic books for power ups. I think we need to find someone that can make this happen.

@BraveToaster: They could arm themselves with either a bat or a knife.

@BraveToaster: I don't think so. I think it's supposed to imitate the regular tamagotchi style virtual pets at the moment. From the little I have read, the developers are still adding things, though. I hope battles are one of them. This makes me all nostalgic about carrying my Dreamcast VMU around with my chao on it.

@BraveToaster: I think that's the intention of the developer. Apparently it will evolve at some point, and iPhone users get mini games.

My daily adventures with Kingsford, a Hatchi on Android.

This morning, I hatched this thing. I'm not sure what it is, but it's there, and it wants stuff. First of all, it wants a name. I look up and see a street sign, then without hesitation I name my little blobby thing Kingsford.

Kingsford seems happy enough to bounce up and down while I stare at the awesome dot matrix lcd style graphics. His (yes, it's a boy, I checked) little Hunger bar isn't full, so I press the knife and fork, and select the apple. After about 4 frames of animation over several seconds, the hunger bar is almost full, and he's bouncing again.

This didn't seem like a game, or something that will hold my attention for more than a few seconds, until I hit the book or bat and ball buttons, then he smiled. Oh god, the cute!

That's about all there is to this so far. If a bar isn't full, press the thing that fills it up. Sometimes, Kingsford refuses whatever it is you pressed. Gameplay. I put Kingsford to be, because his little energy bar is getting low, and exit.

Stay tuned for more Thrill-tastic adventures with Kingsford.
