Weird mechanic but it's interesting find approach to each enemy.

Rather Odd game.

Like the concept though.

I don't quite understand what's good against what--but it's a fun mechanic! Like Pokemon!

Really fun to play. The monster combinations it produces look wonderfully funny too :)

I defeated everyone! I like that the pig butt has a "Lazy ass" attack.

I like the idea here. If you added some more depth to it, you could have a winner!

pretty good, seems like there isn't much strategy besides trying every attack to see what is weak again what, but the monster combinations are pretty funny.

It's always interesting to see the spreadsheet / calculator mechanics behind things like pokemon. The best compliment I can think of is that you CAN figure out, very quickly, what tactics will work, and which won't.

The problem is that once you figure that out, you just hammer the button till you win. I think if you can find something to change up the combat between those two moments, you'll get that depth MurrayL is talking about.

Cool idea, but the Randomize button didn't seem to do anything.

Very unique, it's fast to load. However the detail of each move is not clear.

Ops. I was defeated by Squarepants Bob, with a "Photosynthesis" attack xD
