Overview
Your Buruburu has five core needs: stomach (hunger), love (happiness), cleanliness, toilet, and tooth health. Each of these changes over time while your pet is awake. Keeping your pet well cared for keeps it happy and healthy — neglecting it can lead to sickness, and in severe cases, your pet may pass away.
The five needs
Stomach — decreases over time. Feed your pet to restore it. When stomach drops very low, your pet becomes hungry and stressed.
Love — decreases over time. Play with your pet using toys or snacks to restore it. Low love makes your pet lonely and stressed.
Cleanliness — your pet gets dirtier over time. Give it a bath to reset cleanliness.
Toilet — builds up over time. Take your pet to the toilet to reset it.
Tooth health — feeding your pet (especially snacks) adds tooth acidity. If tooth health gets too low, your pet can develop tooth decay. Use toothbrushing items to improve it.
All five needs change only while your pet is awake. During sleep (11:00 PM – 7:00 AM JST), needs are paused.
Evolution stage & species
How quickly your pet’s needs change depends on its evolution stage and species. Younger pets (baby and young stages) require more frequent care — their needs drop faster and they need more attention. As your pet grows into an adult, its needs change more slowly, making care easier to manage. Some species are also naturally more demanding than others, so the exact pace of care will vary from pet to pet.
Pet mood & stress
Your pet’s overall stress level is calculated from all five needs combined. The lower the stress, the happier your pet. A happy pet has low stress (all needs well maintained). As needs go unmet, stress rises and your pet’s mood changes — from happy to hungry, lonely, dirty, or worse.
What happens when needs are neglected
If stress stays high for too long, your pet can become sick. If sickness is not treated, your pet can enter a dying state. If the dying state is not treated, your pet can pass away.
There are built-in safety windows — your pet cannot pass away between 10:00 PM and 10:00 AM JST, and there are grace periods between each stage to give you time to respond. But if you are away for an extended period without caring for your pet, the risk is real.
Treating sickness
If your pet gets sick, you can use medicine items to cure it:
Capsule — has a chance to cure sickness.
Super Capsule — cures sickness.
If your pet has tooth decay:
White Tooth — has a chance to cure tooth decay.
Shining Tooth — cures tooth decay.
If your pet is in a dying state:
Magic Potion — has a chance to save your pet.
Gold Magic Potion — saves your pet.
Medicine items become available in "First Aid" menu according to the pet's health, and the items can be purchased with B-points.
Daycare
If you need to step away and cannot care for your pet, you can place it in Daycare. While in daycare, your pet’s needs are frozen — it will not get hungry, dirty, lonely, or sick. Daycare unlocks at player level 3.
After a pet passes away
If your pet passes away, a new pet will be created for you to raise. Your player progress (puzzle levels, coins, items) is not affected — only the current pet is lost. Each pet you raise contributes to your overall player experience.
Tips for keeping your pet healthy
Check in on your pet regularly — feed it, play with it, bathe it, and take it to the toilet.
Use daycare when you know you will be away for a long time.
Keep medicine items in your inventory so you can treat sickness quickly.
Watch your pet’s tooth health — snacks are great for boosting love and stomach together, but they increase tooth acidity faster than regular food.
