Back in 2012, Portable Pixels released Hatchi (Free) on to the App Store, and it was a great throw back to the the 90’s and the days of Tamagotchi, Digimon, and other virtual pets, even boasting the grayscale style that many of the original little virtual pet hardware used. In some ways, it kind of presaged mobile gaming, the idea of having something with you personally that you check on regularly, though the virtual pet has never really taken back off. Well, Portable Pixels is going to take things to a new level with Hatchi 2, coming soon.
The game will take the dramatic 1999 leap to full color, first of all. There will be a number of eggs to get a Hatchi from, as it eventually evolves into a bigger and better creature. There will be 25 different Hatchis, with breeding between not just your pets, but also with the Hatchis of friends, which will get you and your friend a baby Hatchi to grow. There will be a number of minigames and customizations for the Hatchis as well. If you want to beta test the game, you can sign up on our forums to give it a shot before release.
