I've got my Entama for one week now and still haven't figured everything out. Which is, in my opinion, a good thing ^_^ For all of you who are curious about this little creature, I'll try to explain it...
The Entama isn't your average Tamagotchi. There's no disciplining involved this time, but you have to raise it so it can become a well educated Tama. There three disciplines involved:
- Intelligence: represented by a pencil
- Style/music: represented by a star
- Kindeness: represented by a flower
In order to raise theses levels you can play games or let your Tama use special items, which you can buy at the Tama market or through the sales person.
How to start? First you have to enter the date and time and pick a name. Now you're ready to nurse your little creature.
As a baby it will need a lot of attention (about the first 30 minutes), but after it has taken a nap you can relax a bit. Just make sure the hungriness and hapiness meters don't completely empty.
You've got mail! When the mail icon is blinking you've received a letter, written in Japanese. You can try to read it ;-) or skip the sentences by pressing the B button. sword_saint76 (from the Yahoovpetsgroup) told me that the first option is the newspaper. Sometimes it brings you bad new, followed by a loss of point and a crying Tama. But sometimes you'll receive a lot of points and everything is okay ^_^ The second option is the "special delivery", which involves school or work. At one time my tama actually went to school on the entama and sat behind the table to study (how cute ^_^).
Visitors Twice a daythe sales person will come by and ask you if you want to buy his merchandise. Either choose yes (the upper line) or no, thank you (the bottom line). Enjoy your new meal or toy *.*
When your tama is just a toddler it needs to go to the kindergarten. A kawaii nany will take care of you by showing up twice a day. She gives you some sort of cradle in which you can go visit her and sing songs (check your inventory box)
As a teenager your Tama likes to study at school. I think it depends on the kind of tama you got what teacher you'll receive. In my case (ichigotchi) some sort of sunflower will accompanied her twice a day. I never knew sunflowers were that smart ;-)
Website Option The most inovative thing about the entama is the website that's linked to it! How does this work?
1. Choose the connection icon on your entama and search for the PC link, Choose that line and click again. Now your Tamacharacter will jump to the website, leaving you with a number.
2. Go to the website:
over here and make sure you've got the macromedia flash player installed. Now you enter the number you've been given (press the numer buttons):
Now press the OK button and wait... Voila you've entered Tamatown!
The blinking buildings are the ones you can enter, just click on them. More tomorrow!
