Merp is a virtual pet game prototype inspired by retro handheld gaming devices like Tamagotchi and GameBoy, designed entirely in Figma. The game features Merp, a delicate species of Pufirion from the distant planet Flufferos, recognizable by his fox-like fur and glowing trail. Merp leads a calm, nomadic life until he is placed under the player’s care. Players must balance three emotional metrics—energy, happiness, and stress—through feeding, playing, and resting. As trust builds, friendship levels increase and unlock new features and animations. If stress levels become too high, Merp explodes in a burst of sparkles, resetting all progress. After three explosions, the game ends.
The game is played through a prototyped handheld console with a custom UI and interactive button system that simulates tactile gameplay. Designed with layered interactions, storytelling, and gameplay consequences, Merp explores care, attention, and the fragile balance between affection and neglect—all within a compact and nostalgic format.
