For entertainment, you can turn the lights out to see what your Oddballz do in the dark. Shake them too much, though, and the creature may well explode. Oddballz can also be picked up like a cat or, for particularly mean owners, shaken.
Be careful not to drop it directly on the poor Oddballz or it will splatter them to the four-corners of your screen! The more direct approach is to freeze them with your sno-blaster and incapacitate them for a short time. Oddballz eat "liquifood" for sustenance, a sort of goopy-looking Jello.įor owners who prefer a sterner method of training these odd beasts, the Gravity Ball can be dropped - it scares the daylights out of the Oddballz and reinforces the unacceptability of certain behavior. You can train your Oddballz using the character or stick method: they can be awarded grubs, which run haphazardly around the screen until the pet gobbles them up, or given "locopops" (bouncing lollipops that make Oddballz even nuttier) that come in a variety of flavors. Oddballz are extremely sensitive to colors and will react more positively or negatively to certain hues.Įach one of the creatures has a unique personality and special tricks learned over time. They react in a cartoon-like fashion to their surroundings and different objects appear over their heads to communicate their feelings.
Oddballz personalities actually change as they age - younger creatures are more inquisitive and more easily frightened than more mature ones. He's definitely the most high-strung of the Oddballz!
Quadrapus is the freakiest looking of the bunch with four limbs and not much else, Walret is a walrus-like beast with eyestalks who also happens to be dumb as rocks and Zott is a weird cross between an ant and a lightning bug. Some examples include the cheerful Dynaroo, a combination between a two-legged dinosaur and a kangaroo, the platypus-like Honker with a horn for a nose, the chatterbox Lips who looks like a weird little monkey dressed up as a mime and Modvark, an aardvark with a great sense of style. There is a wide variety of Oddballz with more "hidden" creatures that can be collected from websites. Oddballz are more reminiscent of goofy cartoon characters than anything else and this resemblance is reinforced by the silly sounds the creatures make. Thus, the creation of Oddballz: Your Collectible Computer Petz for all those folks who are neither cat or dog lovers. With the obvious breeds (Catz and Dogz) already covered, it was inevitable that fantasy creatures would be turned into virtual pets. When Tamagotchi first debuted, the idea spread like wildfire - apply a limited artificial intelligence to a virtual creature.
