Virtual Pet Online is a game where you can take care of a Virtual Pet.

[How to Play]

Main Game:

Upon starting, the Virtual Pet can either be a Red Circle, or Blue Square (from Virtual Pet - Circle and Virtual Pet - Square). On the top of the screen, there are 2 meters, which are the Happiness Meter, and Hunger Meter respectively. Over time, these will deplete. Petting the Virtual Pet will increase the Happiness Meter, which can be done by clicking on the Virtual Pet. Likewise, feeding the Virtual Pet will increase the Hunger Meter, which is done by clicking on the button in at the bottom while having at least 1 Meat in your inventory. If both meters are completely empty, the Virtual Pet will die. Clicking on a dead Virtual Pet will reset the game (and the save data). The game will autosave every 2 seconds.

Maze Minigame:

Clicking on the button that is in the bottom-right-most corner will take you to the Maze Minigame. Here, you have to guide the Virtual Pet through the maze without touching the walls. The Virtual Pet follows your Mouse Cursor. Touching the walls of the maze will cause the values of your Virtual Pet's meters to deplete {-2 Happiness, -1 Hunger}, while making it to the chest will increase the values of the meters {+3 Happiness, +3 Hunger} and give you 1 Meat.

Spooky Maze Minigame:

Clicking on the button that is to the left of the Maze Minigame button will take you to the Spooky Maze Minigame. The objective is the same as in the Maze Minigame, except for the fact that you have to rescue 4 Virtual Pets to be able to access the chest at the end. There is a Dead Virtual Pet inside of the maze which you can rescue as well, although not required. If you make it to the chest after rescuing all 5 Virtual Pets, there is a surprise.

Ice Maze Minigame:

Clicking on the button that is to the left of the Spooky Maze Minigame button will take you to the Ice Maze Minigame. The objective is the same as in the Maze Minigame, but there are 3 Gems around the maze that can be collected. If you collect all of the Gems, then you can unlock the Propane Minigame.

Propane Minigame:

Clicking on the button to the left of the Exploration Minigame button will take you to the Propane Minigame. This can only be played after getting all 3 Gems in the Ice Maze Minigame, keep in mind. Here, you can choose one of three games to play.

Project Virtual Pet Dodge:

Here, you have to make sure your Virtual Pet doesn't hit any of the incoming enemies by moving your mouse cursor up and down. In the top-left corner of the Propane's screen, there is a health bar and a timer. The health bar decreases by 1 every time you hit an enemy, and if it reaches 0 then you lose the minigame, and the timer is reset to 9. Meanwhile, the timer decreases by 1 every 5 seconds, and once it reaches 0, you win the minigame.

Virtual Pet - Circle | Square:

Being the first pair of Virtual Pet games, the gameplay is a more primitive version of Virtual Pet Online's main gameplay. If the Virtual Pet dies, then you can click the reset button above their respective buttons to reset the game to its original state.

Racing Minigame / Super Race Minigame / Hyper Race Minigame:

Above the Maze Minigame button (or the button above the Spooky Maze Minigame button for the Super Race, or the button above the Ice Maze Minigame button for the Hyper Race), there is a button that takes you to the Racing Minigame. Here, you have to click (left-click, or right-click) the button in the bottom-right corner to make the Virtual Pet move. Your Virtual Pet's meters are changed depending on what place it finishes in. You'll also be given Meat depending on what place the Virtual Pet finishes in.

Exploration Minigame:

Above the Racing Minigame button, there is a button that takes you to the Exploration Minigame. Here, a random Virtual Pet will appear in a random place on the screen. If you click on it, you will befriend the Virtual Pet, and be given a choice as to what VPSS Box to put it in. There is a 1/100 chance of finding a Rare Virtual Pet. For every Virtual Pet you befriend, you have a better chance of finding a Rare Virtual Pet.
