Your game is so much fun! I really love it. Texts made me laugh; they are superb. Art is great. Also enjoyed music and sounds. Good job!

Nice game, great art. I also like the card system

Great idea, I don't think I've seen another entry like this one.  Nice play on the theme.  Good art and music.

Sometimes, the text would overflow the container, so I couldn't read it.  The cards wouldn't always be detected when placed on the monster, which was frustrating given there was a timer.  I'm not sure if it was a game design decision, but there seemed to be too little info to make decisions.  As a simple example, height would often be mentioned, but there was no relevant data.  Maybe I missed it?

Great entry overall though.  Well done.

So lovely! The presentation of this game is top notch and it's a wonderful take on the theme. If I could give one piece of advice, however, it's that there are an infinite number of monsters that pop out on the left side so if you just drag the "match cards" at lightning speed you can cheese the game, easy fix would be to make bad matches lose points so players can't brute force the game.
One of my favorites so far!

Clever take on the theme. The music was nice and the little sounds when you match someone too.

I didn't always understand why a match did or didn't work though.

Nice game.
