HUNGRY BUNCH by ratking
Done in around 3.5 hours, because I thought I should submit at least something.
You control four monsters - switch their places so they get the correct food by just dragging them up and down via mouse. Nothing more to say. In its heart it's a compo entry (all done from scratch, using Haxe and jAllegro), but I submitted it on Monday.
(And yes, I know that it's actually called Frankenstein's monster, and Frankenstein was the guy who created it.) ;-)
Thank you all for taking part!

I did have some issues figuring out how to control the characters. Tried clicking them, using the keyboard and some other random stuff before I figured it out. Maybe showing a quick message when the game starts (like "drag a portrait to move") would help people out.
Color coding each character and their food was a great idea, it helps figuring out what goes where much quicker than thinking about the theme behind each of them. Making the difference in colors more evident probably wouldn't hurt though.
This is the sort of gameplay that would probably work on a touch screen. Add a couple of levels with gimmicks and some better graphics and you have a pretty decent mobile game :)
At first i was a bit frustrated because drag n drop did not work,because i'm using firefox : with chrome it's ok !
Simple yet neat graphics, sounds and music!
It definitely needs some in-game instructions though. Had to look at the description/comments to figure out how to play.
It's still a fun game that I could probably play for hours! Good job!
