Not gonna lie, I spent entirely too long just jamming to the main menu music :) 

This was an absolutely solid entry for the game jam!  Loved the art style, and I knew I was going to like this when I read the tag line about pocket-sized monsters being pets, and that this one isn't.  Fantastic!

Submitted

the island now is full of blood anywhere.
i am a real monster i like the island sprites.
i thought enter was used to attack at first
but it pooped a controls list(nice idea)
also please don't forget to rate my game if you haven't

Submitted

Fun concept and nice looking sprites! The progression of the island being filled with bodies really adds to the experience lol

The first 1 minute I only knew how to move with arrows, but after I checked the itch page I was constantly pressing 's' and 'd' and it felt like: "I'M A GOD OF HYPER DEATH, YOU DIDN'T COME HERE TO CAPTURE ME, I CAME HERE TO CAPTURE YOU!!!! [INTENSE KEYBOARD SOUNDS]"

At the end of level 6 I couldn't find a single human and when I was walking over insane amount of dead bodies it hit me - I'm a monster... 

A few notes:

  • It seems like you can't lose no matter what. (I was pushing trainers and monsters around, nothing happens)
  • In the game it was mentioned that leafletta doesn't take turns (no diagonal movement). Why? It would work nicely with the dash ability
  • I forgot that hiding option exists becase was pressing 's' + 'd' constantly
  • Music is awesome! Good job with the audio
  • Visuals are also good. I like different monsters/pokemons sprites. (if there was an extra time, I would add a little bit more visual effects for attacks to add a little bit of chaos into the game)
  • I saw how other monster/pokemon killed a human. Everyone is vulnurable in this bloodbath -  great detail


Overall - nice submission. Keep learning and never give up :)

That was really fun xD Love the variety of the enemies too!

OMG, I am  freee..... you never gona catch me at all! 

That was fun, and a very cool Idea love the concept of the Game. the "dash" is so nice  great game!

Loved the intro, and the game. It’s makes remember the 2000’s games I really liked them.

Overall good mechanics but I think it needs some juiciness, great game.

Yeah some crunchy death noises and more impactful blasts (impact explosions, particles etc) would definitely add to the satisfaction of the slaughter :)

Thanks!

Exactly! But still good game

Submitted

Simple but wonderful!

It was very reminiscent of the early 2000's flash games where there was a large trend in innocent characters committing terrible crimes which was always a humorous trope.

Only areas for improvement is that I don't really feel there's a defined goal other than kill, adding a simple scoreboard or timer to add a sort of arcade element where you beat your best scores or time could help make the game more complete.

If you wanted to take it further you could introduce more elements such as leveling up, learning new moves, and evolving which I think could lead to a very fun game!

Overall fun concept with good execution!

I agree with everything you pointed out haha. 

This is my third game and third jam, and I am still working on controlling scope/time.

Thanks for playing and for the feedback!

Submitted

Wow I did not expect to be killing kids today. Truely a monster! I had fun playing nice job!

Submitted

Thanks for introducing us to Leafletta, the true peak of the food chain. I felt a bit too invincible, but maybe that's just Leafletta's ascended godlike thing. Great game! Great take on the theme.

Developer(+1)

Haha thanks. I agree on the invincibility. The initial intent was to have a health bar for her, and she could regain health by drinking from the pools of blood of her fallen foes!

I always intended her to be very OP, but when I had to make some choices about how to spend my remaining time, Utterly unstoppable fit the narrative as well haha.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

I completely get that, just finishing on time is hard enough :D

Submitted

All the stars.

I wish I had some spares. I'd give extra stars.

Of the ten games I rated today, this is my favorite.

I killed so many things.

It was very satisfying.

So much blood. So much ichor. So many skulls.

Would play again.

Developer

Thanks very much! That is pretty much what I was going for haha.

Submitted

This is a small thing, but I really like how you made the text reveal on the title and end screens! It worked well, and I'll have to try that in future jams. I liked the game! I was a little surprised by the slowly emerging pools of blood...

Developer

Thanks. Just a still image of the text, and a big black sprite in front of it slowly translating down. Thanks for playing
