Silverware Games proudly presents MatchyGotchy Z, a sequel of the studio’s community darling game MatchyGotchy, hatching on March 4th via Early Access on Steam.
We are a small studio experimenting with fun and casual gaming experiences. Inspired by Nintendo, we are building the Matchyverse, a universe of entertaining, stress-free games under the umbrella of Matchy Star, an original family friendly IP made of color and fun for kids-at-heart.
Introducing, MatchyGotchy Z — all the nostalgia of those old virtual pets, fully adapted into a desktop gaming experience. It’s the perfect game for those who want to relax while doing a thousand different things at once. MatchyGotchy Z is a colorful digital pet game that combines idle clicker elements with a new take on pet-raising simulation: trainable personalities. Unlike most virtual pet games, MatchyGotchy Z pets’ behavior is entirely defined by how the player interacts with the pet, meaning you click on them to reward actions you want them to enjoy. There are no predetermined personalities! This means that no amount of food or toys can change a ‘grumpy butt’ personality, only attentive training clicking will.
MatchyGotchy Z introduces Zoot as the Matchyverse’s main currency. There are new places like Zootlandia, the money trade house; and MatchyMart, the galaxy’s monster store where you can spend all your shinies, or even save them to reinvest if you want. We all know money can’t buy happiness, but it sure can buy cake and that’s pretty close to the real thing.
Expanding also the roster of pets available, the whole gang from MatchyGotchy comes back with new friends. The laboratory is much larger now, since each pet will have unique personalities, they certainly deserves to have their own laboratory wing, too. And, since everyone requested more mini-games, there are so many more mini-games that even keeping your Star healthy is a mini-game now.
In MatchyGotchy Z, customization is key. Define your pet’s diet, pick out clothing, and make your pet your own – from a ‘Derpsome Cutie’ or a ‘Master Shipwright’ type of personality. Deep down they are all good eggs, it is all in the clicking. The future of the Matchyverse depends on you.
Key Features:
- Combining pet sims and clicker mechanics, you can train your pets to have the personality you like best. They can enjoy singing, or they can enjoy working – it depends entirely on you.
