Catagory Tamagotchi Tamagotchi Angel

Apperance There are many colors. The colors look kind of pearl-like, unlike Tamagotchi. There are one pair of wings on the side of the LCD screen. The words 'Tamagotchi Angel' are written across the top.

Icons food, lights, play, medicine, flush, meter, discipline, attention better arranged: meter, food, play, flush, praise, medicine, lights, attention. The different icons are shown here at the top in the same order respectively.

Meter has weight has no weight; instead it shows 'Angel Power', or AP.

Food 1 meal fills 1 hungry heart and 1b.(the weight); 1 snack fills 1 happy heart and increases 2b. Same goes with the meal. For happiness, 1 snack does not fill happy hearts but increases the angel power.

Play You have 5 chances to guess: 3 or above correct guesses will result in 1 filled happy heart. The game totally depends on luck. One game decreases 1b. You have 5 chances to help the angel jump over a star. It is a timing game and does not depend on luck. Playing a game would not affect the angel power.

Flush 1 flush cleans all poops onscreen. A tam dunks every 3 hours. works the same except the angel's poop sparkles. (Go figure.) Angels always poop right after they pray, and therefore dunk less than a tam.

Discipline (or praise, in the angel's case)
discipline the tam when it beeps for no reason. Every discipline fills 3 or 4 bars, and the maximum bars you can fill is 14.
When the bar is full, the tam would not call you anymore.(unless it grows to the next stage and the bar decreases)
missing a discipline does not decrease the meter.

praise the angel when it prays for you. Each character has different praying moves, such as surrounded by stars. See moves here. The meter is called 'Deeds' and works the same as a tam's.
The angel would continue to call you even though the meter is full.
missing a praying session or chocolates stolen by bats will decrease 1/4 of the meter.

Medicine give the tam medicine when it gets sick; number of shots can vary. Tam usually gets sick once before they change. Tam Angels get sick only when you turn out the lights during daytime.

Lights turns out the light when it sleeps. Turning out the lights while it's awake has no effect on the tam. works the same, except angels get sick when you turn out the lights during daytime. (as mentioned above)

Attention Calls for you when it's hungry, or when all its hearts are empty Calls for you when it's praying, or when its hearts are empty

Touch Screen Feature no touch screen feature has a touch screen. Used when a bat comes to steal away the chocolate, or when the angel takes a walk--when the screen is suddenly empty. Even if you don't call it back, it will reappear later, though you would miss its "called back" animation.

Growth rate
turns into a teenage character at 3 or 4, then into an adult at 5 or 6.
Usually turns into secret characters at 12.
Starts to become demanding at least when it is over 10 years old.
Rather difficult to get a secret character.
The growth rate is much faster.
It turns into a teenage character at 2, then immediately changes into an adult at age 3.
Secret characters appear at the age of 5 or 6.
Becomes very demanding at an early age, around 8 or 9 years old.
Much easier to get one or more secret characters. With the exception of one angel, the AP (Angel Power) is the main factor to decide which secret character you get.

Life cycle Tams hatch from an egg, turn into an angel when they die, or fly to their home planet in an UFO. Angels 'beam' from the UFO, and since they cannot die because they are already dead, they either fly back to angel city, or are pulled into the underworld.

"Farewell" Animation When a tam leaves, the screen simply flashes between the tam and the UFO/grave. If it is a "natural" death and not by neglect, angel tams have a farewell animation of some kind. At this screen, most tams will usually look sad or are in tears. Some will have special moves.
In their farewell poses, angel tams will not leave for "Angel city" unless you press B.

And that's about it.
