Ditto (video game)

Ditto is a fanmade Android game. As the title implies, this game stars a Pokémon called Ditto.

Gameplay
This game is a virtual pet game, meaning that you have to take care of Ditto by feeding it, giving it medicine if it's not healthy, entertaining it, letting it rest, and many more.

When you first boot up the game, you'll be given a Level 1 Ditto, which is very small. To make it happy, you have to keep your eye on its needs. At its fullest, the "needs" gauge is colored green. The gauge's content gets fewer as time passes, and it also changes color to yellow, then orange, then red as it's near-empty. In this game, you can also switch between rooms to fit Ditto's needs. The following rooms are: From the living room, you can go outside. You can either go to the garden, the playground, or back to the house. At the garden, you can water the berry plants, rewarding you with some coins every time you refreshed the plants. At the playground, you can either play soccer with Ditto or go swimming, all of them rewarding you with coins. The third layout shows the exterior of the house, which can be customized.
 * The belly gauge is marked by a chicken leg. If the gauge turns orange/red, Ditto is hungry and begs for food by showing its puppy eyes.
 * The health gauge is marked with the plus sign. If the gauge turns orange/red, Ditto is sick.
 * The happiness gauge is marked by a heart. If the gauge turns orange/red, Ditto is sad and needs some entertainment.
 * The energy gauge is marked by the letters "HP". If the gauge turns orange/red, Ditto is tired and needs some sleep.
 * Living Room: The main room. You can either go outside or talk to Ditto via built-in microphone.
 * Kitchen: You can feed Ditto here. You can also check your bag (via "Bag" menu) to see how much food you have left.
 * Bathroom: Give Ditto a bath here if it's dirty. Clean up Ditto from dirt by using soap, then wash it using a shower.
 * Laboratory: Use medicines and various chemicals here. You can also check your shelf (via "Shelf" menu) to see how much medicine and other chemicals you have left.
 * Playroom: Entertain Ditto here by using various kinds of balls. You can also play minigames to earn extra coins.
 * Bedroom: This is where Ditto sleeps. Turn off the lamp if you want it to sleep. Don't forget to turn it on again if it wakes up. This room is also where you can customize your Ditto.

Coins are the game's only currency. You can use the coins to buy food, accessories, and much more. You can also buy coins using real money.

As you keep taking care of Ditto, it gains EXP, which is required for leveling up. As Ditto's level increases, the number of items available at the shop is increased as well. Ditto also grows bigger as time passes.

Minigames
You can play minigames while you're in the playroom. The number of minigames available changes as the game is updated.
 * Skateboard: Ditto rides a skateboard, carrying it throughout the minigame. Along the way, there are gaps and obstacles that need to be avoided. Tap the screen to make Ditto jump. The longer you tap the screen, the higher the jump. Ditto can also collect coins, which are scattered in the minigame. The minigame ends if Ditto falls down a pit or hits an obstacle.
 * Bounce: As Ditto keeps bouncing, tilt your phone left or right to control Ditto's direction. You have to keep Ditto bouncing from one platform to another, otherwise it's a game over. You can also collect coins that are placed in several platforms.
 * Rock Climb: Tap the left or right part of the screen to make Ditto jump to the left or right, respectively. Ditto has to keep jumping on the next platforms quickly before the timer runs out. However, you have to be careful not to let Ditto fall. You can collect the usual coins and the Pokétch items, which gives you extra time.
 * Splash: Make Ditto hop from one raft to another without falling into the water. Tapping the left part of the screen makes Ditto do a short hop (1 square), while tapping the right part of the screen makes Ditto do a longer hop (2 squares). As usual, you can also collect coins as you play.
 * Ditto Match: In a similar gameplay as Chuzzle, drag a line of Ditto by dragging your finger across the screen. A match will be made if a Ditto matches with two or more nearby Ditto of the same color. If a matched Ditto holds a coin, the coin will be added to your savings. The minigame ends if the timer runs out.
 * Ditto Ditto: Tap on three or more adjacent Ditto of the same color to clear them. You have to do it carefully and quickly, as the timer is running and if you make a wrong tap, the timer runs faster. You gain extra time every time you remove the Ditto. Just like in Ditto Match, if a cleared Ditto holds a coin, the coin is yours to collect.
 * Conversion: Each level has a set amount of Ditto of two different colors. The objective is to change all of the Ditto into the same color as quickly as you can. The timer is running as you play, so you have to be quick and find an easy way to change the Ditto's colors quickly. For each level cleared, you'll earn coins.
 * Pokémon-Amie: Each level has a set amount of Ditto. From those Ditto, only few look sad. Tap the sad Ditto to advance to the next level. Like Conversion, the timer is running as you play, so you have to be quick. Also, you'll earn coins for each level you cleared.
