## What is Hatch?

Welcome to the world of Fugu pet care! You'll be given care of your very own Fugu egg, and you won't have to wait long before you'll be welcoming your own little bundle of joy. Fugu are very affectionate creatures, but in order to be a responsible pet owner, you'll need to take care of a few simple tasks. Feed your Fugu fruit from the trees to keep its belly full. Keep its living space clean by throwing trash out. Give it a pet now and then. If you can do these few things, you'll slowly earn the trust and love of your Fugu!

There are tons of ways to play with your fugu — try tapping, shaking your phone, or throwing a piece of fruit for starters! As you continue playing, you'll find acorns and star coins. Use these at the local shop to pick up new decorations and toys to make your Fugu even happier! Some of those toys even let you play with your Fugu in new ways. You can also pick up special snacks and other items that help you take better care of your pet. Keep your eyes peeled for special stickers featuring your very own adorable Fugu. Try to collect them all!

Hatch Your Pet: Tap the egg to help your Fugu enter the world! What color will yours be? What will you name it?

Fugu Care is Easy: Feed your pet fresh fruit, throw out any trash you see, and give it a pat now and then. Don't worry, it sleeps when you do!

Collect Items: The local shop sells all kinds of great things: snacks, toys, decorations, and more! Find new ways to play with your Fugu!

Fill Your Stickerbook: Search around for special stickers featuring your very own Fugu in a number of cute poses. Can you collect them all?

Uncover the Magic: When your Fugu becomes happy enough, it will do a special dance to show its love. Some amazing things can happen when it does!

### 5/5 — The achievements are glitched

*2024-09-15, version 1.83.25*

I’m supposed to get achievements for when my Fugu reaches certain age milestones but I’m not getting any of them

### 2/5 — Changed colors!

*2024-09-10, version 1.83.25*

My son and I have been caring for our Fujus for almost five years.  Last month, my Carl randomly changed from blue to yellowish-orange and won’t change back.  I miss my blue Carl!  Is there any way to get him back to blue permanently?

### 5/5 — Gf and I love this game

*2024-03-10, version 1.83.25*

I love this game so much. Gf and I loved the stickers on facebook and she found out there was a game! Brings so much joy to take care of the little fugus by feeding them and spoiling them with gifts. Sometimes they give you one too. I wish this game will always be there to play.

### 5/5 — OMG it didn’t work downloading but super cute

*2024-03-05, version 1.83.25*

These tiny little creatures are so cute I can just squish there cheek

### 4/5 — Fugu

*2023-11-28*

I really like this game. To bad haven’t been any updates after all these years. I still take care of my fugu. For some reason he doesn’t have bowel movements anymore to clean nor does he cry when hungry or if we don’t check on him for a while. The sticker sms option also doesn’t work like it used to. And the steps option leading to a white box gift doesn’t work either. Please update this lovely game!

### 5/5 — Miss the old features!

*2023-08-31*

I’ve been taking care of my Fugu, Newman, for 9.5 years! I love him and still check on him everyday. I have to say that I was sad to see so many items drop out of the store. I miss the homes and decorations the most. The thing I miss most are the Moon Cookies and the way a fugu would howl when you fed them one.
