The Dark Side of the Moon Prunes by purple_pwny
The Dark Side of the Moon Prunes explores an alternate reality, where prunes grow on the moon and enslavement of certain monster species is legal.
Pay attention to the auctioneer's description of the slaves in order to infer their true value, use your one question to find out something that you don't already know, and bid carefully! Some of your slavemaster associates are very aggressive, and will try to outbid each other, despite the slave's actual worth.
Slave attributes contribute to the simulation of your moon prune farm, so try not to buy a belligerent idiot, or your farm will surely burn.
Although monsters are being enslaved, you're a slave master, so you're actually the worst monster of all! (Well, maybe not worse than Hitler.)
We spent literally 0 time testing the economy and rules of the game...so enjoy it for what it is, but it's obviously not all we had hoped for. I'm sure there's a segfault somewhere.

Beside that, the game was cute and pretty.
But I really liked going through the game once :) Graphics and music are cool, humor works well except for the ending maybe a bit serious in comparison though it reinforces the theme.
(spoilers)
Is there a way to *successfully* be a monster based on the number of creatures you buy and their perks?
- little bit to long waiting Times
- On second day the monsters are repeating
However, it was far too slow a pace. Especially since auctions are supposed to be fast-paced, adrenaline-inducing affairs.
- too slow
- no idea how this slave is better from another
Nice art (love the monkey). I liek the idea that you can ask slaves a question.
I like the idea, and your graphics are great Lux ;)
Space hitler looks great.
I have some issues with the actual execution but eh, it's cute and an interesting idea. :)
