The fact that the smaller pet monsters can turn against you and slow you down if you use them as a meat shield too much was a pretty clever surprise.

It's been fun but quite a challenge as well. I used Unity and had to use a few assets from the Asset Store that I had already purchased in the past. Pretty much everything has been used from others except for the main game logic. I have learned a lot from this and am hoping next LD I will be able to use everything created by me :)","title":"Monster Companion"}
