About Monsters is my first game alone (I participated in LD27 with friends). This experience was extremely rewarding. I learned a lot about games and tools. I confess that at times I doubted that I could finish. But I was wrong. Hope you enjoy the result. Thanks to everyone who attended the event, which influenced positively throughout the process.

Noce graphics... like it that i was able to choose a monster. Nice designed characters. Music was good sounding... some polishing for the animations maybe :)
You made a jam alone? Was really not worthy enter the comp? Well, anyway, wow! 3 characters! With "different" stages (they look different)! Really impressive work, has a lot of personality. The gameplay could be better, it is very bugged, I think you was too ambitious but made a great effort, would be awesome to see this more polished. Great job!
So cute!!! This is amazing! Best game I've played thus far! I included this game in my Ludum Dare 28 compilation video series if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/CxUIxKQApqc
triforcespark, Unfortunately not figured time well, and ended up missing some animations. But I'm glad you enjoyed it.
psychomonster, thanks man! I will work in the game and try to turn into a full game.
DanielSnd, Thanks for the video. Watching someone playing showed me clearly what needs to be polished in the game. Thanks for the support.
Yeah FrederickK. Being my first time programming, I opted for the JAM, to have more time. After receiving the feedback, I have thought about working more in the game and launch a more polished version with more levels and refined gameplay.
Jupiter_Hadley, Thank you for your appearance on video. And I am very happy to know you liked my work.
I liked the graphics, but the controls were a bit hard to handle in combination with the level design. Most times I never managed to jump up onto platforms and once I managed to get stuck inside a platform. Great start for first time entry though!
Playing as the Cormano is way too easy. Playing as the Ninja is almost impossible due to the number of enemies. It's reasonably fun and I love the graphics.
I really like the style of your graphics. Good that you made three different ways to play. Sometimes the monster would get stuck, but mostly it played well. I thought, that if you made the game with Flash, making a mac version would be easy. Just change the publish settings? Or you zip a folder with the .swf and html files?
The visual style is awesome and the music is good, too. The three characters play very different and that's really nice, because you can effectively reuse the level while giving the player something new to play. The collision with the enemies seems to be a bit unfair, sometimes. I experienced a little bug, where I got totally stuck on one of the platforms (the roof where some guys are walking on). Good job anyway!
