Fairytale villains are stealing children's storybooks to make them more vulnerable to their tactics. This night, however, they stumbled into the room of a little girl who will have none of that.

Stolen Tales is a beat'em up starring a little girl who uses her plush toy as An Unconventional Weapon. It's very short because time; i might polish it a bit more post-compo.

Controls:
*Directional keys/WASD/ZQSD: Move
*Left mouse button/Spacebar/Return: Attack

Made in Unity 5; all graphics made in Photoshop; music generated in cgMusic + Audition; sounds generated in Bfxr.

Great intro and nice graphics. Took me a while to work out how to use the umbrella. Didn't manage to stop them eating the pie. Good fun.

Interesting mood. The combat mechanics are a little underpowered, but overall, good job. The audio fits the mood well.

A cute beat'em up? haha great! I got to the witch boss but couldn't beat her. Great game, man!

Good compo graphics, basic but fun and solid gameplay. A little sparse on the instructions, but not bad overall. Enjoyed it.

Don't know if this is cute or creepy, but good try. Maybe more movements could make justice with the idea, but really, it's a nice entry.

Cool idea, gameplay feels a little bland though!

I enjoyed a lot hitting the gingerbread cookies! But I really wished they would explode when they died. I also liked that you had an interesting boss fight! Nice job!!

Keep up the good work!

Is a really good and a fun game. Maybe a bit too hard to hit the enemy.

The game was pretty straightforward. Don't know if the lack of movement animations was intentional, but it wasn't necessarily bad.

My biggest suggestion would be use of shadows for projectiles as well and tiling to give the player perspective of where they vs. incoming attacks stand.
