There are 26 different types of aliens. They lead a very systematic lifestyle and so are only active from 9:00 am to 1:00 am. Outside of that time period, it is impossible to communicate with them.

It seems that game points can have a bad influence on transformations. Also, if the denpa alien recieves waves while playing the slots game, it will suspend the game and transform.

Janken game

  • After pressing the B button, press the A button and a countdown will start. When the exclamation mark (!) appears on the screen, press A (rock), B (scissors) or C (paper). If the player (that would be you) wins, the denpa alien becomes happy. *Pressing the D button will return you to the main screen

The denpa alien's motto is 'Fair Play'. If you put out your rock/scissors/paper selection too late (after the denpa alien has already put his out), the "AGAIN" alert will appear and the current game will be invalidated. Also, if you quit while in the middle of the game, you will be penalized.

Caring for your denpa alien

  • Pressing the C button will bring up the 'care' screens like the ones pictured below. Use the A button to choose which type of care you want to give and then use the B button to select it. Use the D button to cancel. However, if it is a type of care that the denpa alien doesn't like, it won't have any effect.
  • Strength Replenishment
  • Habitat Maintenence    

Calls for attentions

  • When your denpa alien is low on health or wants to play, it will show the !! mark and beep. The attention call will sound for 30 seconds. To stop it, press any of the buttons.

If you answer to your alien's call within 5 minutes, it is possible to earn double the usual effects that playing the games or giving care would normally give.

When your alien goes into suspended animation...

  • When your denpa alien's health gets to 0, it will be placed in a suspended animation device and you will not be able to play with it or tend to it (care - the air and stuff like that). You can try to revive it by giving it electric/radio wave shocks. If you do revive it, it's health stats will return to their original levels and its age will return to 1 year.

The clock screen

  • Pressing the D button will show you the current time.
    *Press the D button once more to return to the main screen


  • While viewing the clock screen, press the A button to see how long its been since you first met your alien (if your alien has gone into suspended animation, it will be one, if it has returned to space, it will be over 100)
    *Press the A button to return to the clock screen and then press the D button to return to the main screen
  • Press the A and D buttons together to set the time.

Returning home

Every 14 days your denpa alien will have an opportunity to return to his home planet. To let him go, select yes. To keep him, select no.
