is really a lot of fun .
When you think you got repetitive , a new character with completely different mechanics.

I will surely have it on my PC.

Fantastic fun. There is an issue with the movement, however; if I move diagonally and then release one of the keys I still move diagonally. Otherwise, great.

Excellent, very well done. Fast attack + speed is a great combo.

Very fun, polished, doesn't get repetitive, music is great and fits the game, graphics same.

There's a pretty obvious exploit where once a monster has hatched you can go to the shop and return to change who you play as. Might have been nice to choose a monster directly instead, or not to have the option to change out of an unfamiliar one. Nitpicking heavily there, though. Great work.

Fun game! :) The blue monster seems kind of pointless, maybe make that attack better or give him custom enemies? Would love to have seen more kinds of monsters. The controls felt like a game for mobile, are you planning on releasing it for mobile?
Nice work!

Nice combos. There should be a subtle warning before a new spawn point appears to give you a moment to evacuate!

Love the random monsters! Cool concept! I included it in part 23 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/isROeWsQRB8
