Gameplay

Gameplay of Jewelpet: Magical Dance in Style☆Deco! adapt both the musical elements of the first two Nintendo DS games as well as the life simulation elements of the third game like the previous series, but will have an updated mechanics. Like the previous game, the game is a cross between a music and life simulation, with the gameplay is done by using 3DS's stylus, similar to Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan. The player must first name itself and chose one of the 10 Jewelpets in the start. Then the game takes the player to the in-world screen on where the player must go to a specific location using the stylus to access a music session, or talk to NPCs. The game's music session requires the use of the stylus, and the instrument the player chose before the session. The player must touch the jewel flowers appearing on the screen to successfully synchronize with the music and do special combos. In each successful clear, the player collect jewels to unlock new items and instruments as well as new Jewelpets. Each clear depends on the ranking the player gets on how experienced it is on playing the game.

New features

The storyline of the game will be loosely based on the anime, with a few references from the fourth series. The new dress-up feature is now included for customizing the player's Jewelpet as well as a fashion contest to showcase the Jewelpet in its clothing and compete with others for the player to win.[1] Also, minigames from the third game will be implemented such as catching dandelion seeds or gardening. The Arguemented Reality feature returns from the fourth game, allowing the player to view his/her Jewelpets using the 3DS's camera and the AR cards. Unlike the first game, the second can now view two Jewelpets at a time using two AR cards.
