Presto is the final pet to be acquired in Adventure Mode. He is a green tadpole with yellow-green tail fins and black eyes. He has the ability to transform himself into any pet the player owns.
Behavior[]
Presto is the most versatile pet in the game. By right-clicking him, a window will appear around the screen, showing every pet the player has unlocked. Choose a pet, and Presto will transform into that pet, with the word "PRESTO!" under him indicating which pet he is. After transforming, the player must wait about 10 seconds before Presto can transform again, which is indicated by the outline of the word "PRESTO!" slowly filling in with white. Attempting to turn into another pet while recharging will just say "Recharging..." (with a buzzer sound that can also be heard if the player clicks an item but does not have enough money to buy it or drops a fish food but having only $0-4 coins) above Presto.
Synergies[]
There are many strategies that utilize Presto. For example, he can be transformed into Shrapnel near the beginning of the level for fast money, changed into a combative pet when an alien signature is detected, and be turned into Angie and used with Amp to revive any fish he kills. Ultimately, it is up to the player in how he can be used most efficiently.
Notes[]
- If Presto is near the surface and changes into Stinky, Rufus, Niko, or Rhubarb, he will slowly fall to the ground.
- If Presto is changed into Gash, he will eat a Guppy a few seconds after the transformation.
- If Presto is changed into Blip, all of the store options will stay unlocked after changing him into another pet. However, it takes Presto-Blip 20 seconds to unlock everything, while the real Blip only takes 5 seconds.
- When Walter punches Presto, he will revert back to his tadpole form.
- With Presto, it is possible to have two of the same pet in a level.
