Functions[]
Birth and Growth[]
After setting the clock, the screen will show the user's student (Yuta Okkotsu in the 0 version) enrolling into Tokyo or Kyoto Jujutsu High with the respective presidents welcoming them. The character begins as a generic student, and evolves after 24 hours based on care quality and how many games were won.
Buttons[]
There are no on-screen icons, and therefore all information is conveyed through the screen and buttons. The student is cared for by filling its meters; it has Hungry and Happy meters, each consisting of four units, which are both empty when the student is born. If either becomes empty, they will call for attention to fill them.
If the student needs something, the user can press the C button for an animation to see what it needs. If the student looks angry, it's hungry; if it sulks, it's unhappy. If its Hungry and Happy meters are not empty but the Happy meter is not full, it will play a simple happy animation. If the Happy meter is completely full and the Hungry meter is not empty, the student will perform a Close Up.
Pressing the A button opens the main menu, with the options to feed or to play the training games. The meal option (onigiri) fills one Hungry unit, and will refuse to eat anymore once the meter is full. The snack (mochi) fills one Happy unit, and can be fed even when the Happy meter is full. The A button is also used to open the lights on and off menu when the student has fallen asleep.
Training Games[]
There are three games available, each influencing what character the user's student will evolve into depending on which games are played. Winning a game will raise the Happy meter by 1, while playing a perfect game will raise the Happy meter by 2.
