Alert
Beep Sound
Your dino will beep on you, should he need something – check the status icon and tend to him. Remember that there is no attention icon, so check on him often, as there is a chance you will miss the beeping sound.

education meter.

Game Icon
This is a ‘rock-paper-scissors’ game. The goal is to let your
dino win at least 3 / 5 times during one game. Just playing the game, even if he does not win, still raises his happy meter.
Book Icon
This will raise his education level. He will start off with an E+
and you can make him go all the way up to an A+.
Bathtub Icon
Select this icon when your dino turns dark = gets dirty. It will
give him a shower.
Air Conditioner
Icon
25 degrees Celsius is the best temperature for your dino.
When he gets too cold, he shivers. When he gets too hot, he gets angry.
Maintain 25 degrees by turning on / off the air conditioner. Remember to check
on him every ~15 minutes to control the temperature. Otherwise he
will get sick easily.
Medicine Icon
When your dino gets sick, you will have to give him an
injection. After
that ALL his stats will get empty and
you will have to fill them up again.
When Your Dino Gets Mad at You
Sometimes your dino will show you an angry face. This will look a bit different
from when he gets angry because the temperature is too high. When he makes an
angry face, be sure to give him an ice cream – this will make him happy
immediately. It would be also good to play the game with him, as this means he
feels abandoned and just unhappy.
Adjusting the Clock
To change the time, press and hold ‘esc’ and ‘enter’ buttons at the same time in the game
mode and wait for the beep sound. Then adjust the time (see:
setting the clock).
When Your Dino Dies
Your dino can die of old age, or sickness, so make sure to check on him
rather often.
If your dino dies, you can restart by pressing the ‘reset’ button at the back.
Note: remember NOT to use any sharp objects like needles to do this. Personally I would recommend using a stylus from Nintendo DS; you can buy these separately and they are not expensive.
