I thought clicking around different combinations of buttons to discover what would happen was part of the fun. I kept trying to kill it to no avail.

I'm actually laughing out loud at that statement.

>What a neat game, let's see what it does. Nah. Let's kill it.

Humans. So weird.

I think that this is supposed to be similar to the classic tamagotchi's off of the 90's. There were no status bars (like a real pet) and figuring it out was part of the charm . I do think that if the pet is really hungry/thirsty/tired there should be an a different animation, like pointing to mouth for hunger.

I agree animations and aesthetic are awesome (much better than the original LCD pixel Tamagotchi's).

just put debug=1 into the location bar.

I did it, no wonder it has exhausted face, the fatigue bar is too high
