Really cute and fun game! Gooee was my favorite. Also the ending was really funny :D
Such a great idea and a lot of fun! I really enjoyed the variety of the abilities and the art is great.
Cute pixel art with a nice style and catchy chiptune music! I like little details like your fist being bloody after you leveled up once.
Gameplay is simple and straightforward. The monster abilities give you nice tactical choices.
If I had any criticism then maybe that the endings are too similar ;)
And on the technical side I found that
But in general I had a nice time with your little game :D
This might be one of my favourite games this jam!
I wish it was a little bit longer.
Fun game. I liked the character sprites. They were expressive, despite the sprite size constraints. I lucked into encountering the mosquito first, which really helped with later encounters. Stun felt a bit OP, but you covered that in the postmortem.
Good job.
very charming presentation and intuitive mechanics! greetings from another dev who made a monster-catching game :D
Feels really nice, you should continue developing this further :)
nice game! sweet and short! would also be nice to catch the "boss" heheh
kidding aside, it was fun, and the graphics are very nicely done. good work!
Cool idea, I like the simplicity of using monsters as attacks and the music fit the game perfectly. I don't know whether controller support was intended but it looks like it only works for movement and other buttons didn't do anything. Anyway that was fun, I didn't manage to get the good ending but the bad ending was very unexpected haha
Thanks for playing!
Controller support was not intended, but Godot does have default setup for it, so yeah that explains why it worked partially ^^
Well the good ending is actually the same fight with different dialogue, so you only missed some of my lame jokes haha
Wow, very nostalgic. This is really well done. The monster fights with different effects and properties are superb. I really like the art for each monster. The music is the icing on the cake. Great job!
This game looks beautiful! Looks awesome. I'm on Mac so of course, I'm having trouble with even most HTML5 games unfortunately. Great work putting out a very beautiful game that everyone seems to love, though lol.
Cool game. The graphics and music was very reminiscent of old NES/SNES games, which I liked a lot.
I struggled a bit at first; then I went for the stun guy first, which allowed me to survive. The fact that you almost always take at least one hit was a concern; the healing guy would've been helpful to me early on, so I probably should've confronted them first!
Cool idea, good execution. Nice work!
Great idea having to defeat enemies to unlock new abilities, allows for a great sense of progression in such a short game!
Lovely game that felt a lot like pokemon in its graphics and battle style! I got gooee and moskito back-to-back, which for me were extremely useful - a hard hitter and healing for the second/third turns to finish the monsters off. I found it so cool that each and every monster had a different ability (I did that for my entry as well)
I was surprised by the last battle hehe.
The style and colors fit the game super well and go in hand with the laid back, fun narrative. Great job, super polished experience!
That was really fun! It took me a couple tries, though.
Cool game :)
Great game! I like the kind of stripped back battle system for this, and the writing and character design is really fun too.
Last mon always gets me ! Maybe I should change tactics...
Nice game, though! Simple but interesting gameplay and very cute art )
Thanks!
Did you go and talk to grandpa? He has one first aid kit for you after you recruit 2 monsters :)
Yeah, it helped me last until the final battle )
Maybe recruit mosquito sooner, for healing?
I found that the best tactic for me was recruiting Toxy the snake/worm thingy first, and using it once at the start of each battle (because poison is maybe a little bit too strong haha).
After that get Gooee as she deals the most damage and spam her attack, basically. She’ll make short work of pretty much everyone else ^^
Ha! I ignored Toxy competely )))
Great little Pokémon game, I played though both ending and really liked the use of the palette.
