3 | |
4 | In ''Gacha Life'', you can create and customize your own chibi characters, which you can set them up for a scene in the Studio mode, or take the role of one of them and interact with and befriend the [=NPCs=] in the Life mode. As for the "Gacha" part, you can spend Gacha gems on [[{{Lootboxes}} Gachas]] and earn gifts from them and gift them to the [=NPCs=]. |

6 | In other words, it's just a fun cutesy game with little meaning other than creating chibi characters and having fun with them. |

12 | !! ''Gacha Life'' provides examples of: |
13 | * AdReward: Players can watch ads in order to earn a random number of gems, which are used in the gacha portion to earn gifts to give other characters. |
14 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: You can color your character's skin red, blue, whatever! |
15 | * {{Animesque}}: The game's artstyle definitely falls under this, complete with notable JapaneseVisualArtsTropes (AnimeHair, BigAnimeEyes, etc.). |
16 | * BeastMan: [[PunnyName Picc and Pawket]], two raccoon girls who form a music duo called [[RascallyRaccoon "Bandits"]]. |
17 | * BigHeadMode: By accessing Meme Mode by [[EasterEgg clicking the button with three dots four times]], you can change your character's head size, including to big. |
18 | * CatGirl: |
19 | ** Rambo Nyan Kitty, a CloudCuckoolander one who loves using cat puns. |
20 | ** Moe and her glitched counterpart m o. Moe quizzes you on how soft her ears are and how fast she can wag her tail while m o speaks in a corrupted format l i k e d i s¿ |
21 | * DatingSim: Life mode is essentially a platonic version of this. You can talk with, ask, gift, and answer {{Pop Quiz}}zes from the [=NPCs=] (the preset characters) and increase your friendships with them. |
22 | * DigitalAvatar: Your character can serve as this for you. |
23 | * FingerlessHands: Every character only has a thumb for each of their hands, making them look like mittens. |
24 | * HisNameReallyIsBarkeep: The principal of the school in Life Mode is Mr. Principal. |
25 | * LittleBitBeastly: Some hair options have cat/pointed canine/bunny/bear ears, and you can add tails to your character. |
26 | * PopQuiz: When you reach the Friendship Level of 5, the NPC can give you a short 10-question quiz over the information you've asked them for. Huge rewards await for those who ace. |
27 | * PublicDomainSoundtrack: Not necessarily public domain, but the game uses royalty-free music provided by DOVE-SYNDROME. |
28 | * ScunthorpeProblem: Infamously, every word with the letter sequence a-s-s is censored, resulting in things like "cl***ic", "br***", etc. |
29 | * SuperDeformed: The main art style, along with {{Animesque}}. |
30 | * SurferDude: Brody, a surfer who likes sports, fishing, and music. |
31 | * TamerAndChaster: Previous ''Gacha'' games would include fully humanoid anime characters, some serving FanService. ''Gacha Life'' focuses on chibi characters and more on the cute than sexy. |
32 | * TemporalThemeNaming: There are 4 [=NPCs=] named after the 4 seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. |
33 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: You can set your character's favorite food. |
34 | ** Bex's favorite food is chicken nuggets, and her minigame has you try to catch all the nuggets without any touching the ground. |
35 | * UnusualEars: Since all models have human ears, putting on hair with LittleBitBeastly ears creates FridgeLogic. |
36 | * VideoGamePerversityPotential: Inevitable for a character design/roleplay game. It was possible to dress up your character [[{{Stripperiffic}} in skimpy clothing]] (and [[NudeColoredClothes even color their clothes the color of their skin]]!) and pose them to resemble sexual acts, as well as let them say any phrase at your will. This got so out of hand that Lunime [[VideoGamePerversityPrevention released a patch]] to remove all of this potential. |
37 | * VirtualPaperDoll: The entire point of the game. You can create a character and refine their body, hair, facial features, clothing, and profile, coming up with endless combinations. The fandom regularly circulates character and outfit ideas. |
38 | * WaterIsWomanly: Lado is a girly, blue haired CatGirl whose element is water. |
