Echidna is a pretty standard take on the theme- you play a monster, caring for her young monster. I tried to go for a serious, decently interesting story, but I had 48 hours. :) I can't say too much about it, for fear of ruining the plot. Also, for similar reasons, don't read the source code before you beat the game. It's not that hard, I promise!

Controls:
Arrows - Move
Space - Attack
Eat Food to heal - R

I hope you guys enjoy! This is my second LD ever, and first attempt at a compo. Thanks for your time!

Source is included in every package. Zipped with windows' zip utility.
Web Version coming later, when my webmaster gets out of bed. :)

Note! The game does not reset progress. Please reset the game to get back to level one! I'll be fixing this bug shortly. Sorry!

Surprisingly atmospheric and a good "story", though possibly too long for people to experience in a Jam game. The graphics have a nice style.

Pretty neat.
The story is a bit unexpected in a game like this - really like it.
The font is a bit hard for me to read though.

Nice story, fun little game. The music was a bit low quality and got tedious after a while but otherwise things were great. You did great for your first compo entry!

I really like this. 100MB seems a bit big in terms of LD downloads, but I'm glad I played it regardless. Played through it twice, to see both endings.
