Train Your Virtual Pet Fugu To Perform New Tricks In The New Version Of Hatch

Clear co-developer Impending has just released another notable update to its popular virtual pet app for iPhone, Hatch.

First off, the latest update to Hatch introduces not one, not two, but six new tricks for you and your pet fugu to have fun with. These comprise two jump tricks and four lateral ones, including play dead and army crawl. To get started on these fun tricks, you first have to get a trick whistle from Max's gift shop.

Armed with your trick whistle, you can train your fugu to perform tricks like a pet pro.

Your fugu will begin untrained in the art of performing tricks, and you'll need to train your pet to listen reliably to your trick whistle. To train your fugu, treat it with a Star Fruit right after a successful trick! Plus with enough focused training, you can even master up to three tricks for extra flair! (One jump trick, and one mastered trick per side of your choice.)

And to reward your fugu for getting better at performing tricks, you might want to treat him to some decorations, of which new ones are brought by the update. These include new blankets, a new Cupid-designed decor set especially for pets and owners with 100 percent trust, and a new lifelike wallpaper.

The new Hatch update also delivers the following fixes and improvements:
