Lovely day at the pumpkin patch

Kynseed is so close to becoming my favourite game of all time… nothing will ever top Stardew, but holy smokes this is one fantastic time. Don’t ignore this gem!

My current tamas… although I’ll be hatching a new egg on the Glacier today, and hoping for an evolution on the Purple Sky 😄 #tamagotchi

I got the low battery animation - it’s so cute 😄 🪫

I love Gemtchi on the Tamagotchi Paradise 🥹
