(You are the) monster gaiden by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou
A weird idea I had for a monster raising sim in the style of Project J Wonder and Princess Maker, trying not to be kileld by the humans. It was completely thrown off track by my love for "Monster Loves You" that I recently played obsessively, and that's a good thing.
So I guess, if someone with funds and/or a clear idea of where to take this wants to give it a go, let me know.
As it is, it's just an engine. Again. I'm not sorry! I learnt a lot of things, and I tried for a soft and sensitive presentation <3
CONTROLS
********
Cursor keys: move
[A]: jump and take context sensitive actions
[S]: roar
[ESC]: check your stats.
Walkthrough:
go play with your toys on the left of your cave, and then go scare some chickens, and talk to the townspeople. The end
Photoshop CS5, Construct 2 and Fruity Loops + Roland Hypersonic for the music and sfx

Loved the 4th wall breaking "joke" :P
Awesome art and cool music <3 Wish there was more to it
The song is really fitting to the game's atmosphere!
It's really a pity that you couldn't get the game itself developed further... =/
Really fun idea which is well executed, as always the art is cute, colourful and awesome.
Sometimes jams are just about experimenting and not making a game as such.
Great effort, has lots of potential if you decide to work on it more.
You should make a game with this.
I don't know how attached you are to solo entries, but if you wanted to do more than you had time for, you could trawl for some like-minded folks to collab with. Many hands make light work, and it might help you more-fully realize your inspiration. If you prefer to keep flying solo, you could try to structure your time or pare things down, or even build a flexible generic framework or code-base for the games you like to make ahead of time (it's in the Jam rules), with the knowledge that you're going to want to put energy into making things all stylish and charming during the competition.
Most of all, I hope you had fun making this. It certainly made me smile! Thank you for putting this together, and for sharing it.

You've done the hard engine-building part... it just needs like 4 encounters or so and a couple endings based on the monster's stats. And maybe some legs on the jumping sprite. So close. Alas.
Still, you've done an awesome job. Good luck with it! :D
