Operating Instructions
The Tamagotchi Paradise features a unique "zoom" dial and multiple levels of interaction to care for your virtual pet.
Nurturing Your Tamagotchi
- Feeding: Select the "Food" option to feed your Tamagotchi. Choose from various foods and snacks to keep it happy and full.
- Cleaning: Regularly check for and clean up your Tamagotchi's waste to maintain its health and happiness.

Zoom Dial Functionality
The zoom dial allows you to navigate through different levels of gameplay:
- Tama Space Level: The broadest view of your Tamagotchi Planet. Here you can decorate your planet, visit Tama Stars (memories of past Tamagotchis), meet goals for rewards, and travel to other planets once enough currency is earned.
- Field Level: This level allows you to clean up waste, go on egg hunts, play with toys, and switch between unlocked fields (Water, Land, Sky).
- Tama Cell Level: The closest view, showing your Tamagotchi's internal status (hunger, happiness) and its visual character type.

Maintenance
