made by TheNBCorpse for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

Little companions in video games can be cute, but they sure can be annoying sometimes!

Help the Large Creature rescue the Tiny Creatures by exploring through the dungeon! Some of the Tiny Creatures can be helpful, and others won't do anything useful.

I really like those games where you go explore around collecting stuff!

Do you think I got all of the creatures? Maybe you could have had a text on the screen that indicated how many creatures were left to collect (like "Creatures: 17/32").

@gao-ming thank you!

@plasmapuffs there's 33 in total, looks like you got 27 of them! You're right that saying somewhere how many there are to find would be a good idea, there is a % completion text on the win screen but not one during the game. (There is an ending, and it's not stated as clear as it could be but you don't have to get every creature, I'm pretty sure it's possible to speedrun it in only 6 creatures.)

Looks like you got all of the creatures up until the area with the Beam Creature, so a hint for how to get to the end:

**HINTS/SPOILERS WARNING**

in the 4-way room with a Door Creature and 3 Triple Turrets south of where you get the Beam Creature, try blasting the turrets away to get deeper into the dungeon! The fourth and final checkpoint is in the very next room and there's a few Coin, Door, and Maze creatures around, and the ending room.

Thanks for playing!

These were my favorite tiny creatures I saw across all games I played from this jam. Made me smile more than once :)

I really enjoyed this one! Was fun discovering all the new abilities and exploring the dungeon, and I loved all the little details with their interactions!
