Create your own monster and take on adventurers in Monster Mash. Use the bones of your foes to morph into a faster and deadlier version of yourself to fend off the growing number of bold adventurers that want your head.

[Instructions]
Download the zip file, extract everything and run the following:
- If on Windows: run game.bat
- If on Linux: run game.sh
- If on Mac: run game.command (you may need to chmod +x game.command first)

[Cheat Mode]
Press Ctrl+Alt+M at the title screen to receive some bones.

NOTE: When limbs have gone red, click in their icon in the design window to pay to heal them.

I was not able to run the game on mac. I tried running game.command as well as the jar, but neither launched the game.

The game looks and sounded great though (from the screenshots and description).

This game was very fun to play and I really liked the graphics, I see a lot of potential in this game, in fact.

I was able to get the game to run on Mac. I opened up the terminal, went to that unzipped directory, did chmod +x game.command, and ran ./game.command. It worked, but I should have used some in-game instructions. My skeleton lasted through 2-3 battles before all the limbs got red. I was never able to buy anything though. Nice work for 48 hours!

It looked like a good game, but I must have missed something... My skeleton died in the 3rd battle, all its bones became red and I couldn't do anything.
Despite that, graphics are very good and the personnalization of the skeleton was a good idea too :)

This game is clever and fun. Nice combinations of limbs!

Thanks all - just a note that you can pay to restore health on limbs by clicking on them in the design window after they are already selected. Not very intuitive I know, would've been one of the things I changed if I had more time.

Was super confused when I first tried it out, certainly needs a tutorial component, maybe also think about adding some feedback when the user performs various attacks. I could see this going somewhere pretty cool. Great work for over a weekend. Did you do this in swing or a library like LibGDX or something?

A bit hard to understand the controls but funny concept!

I like the concept. It's simple, and I can see it being developed into a neat mobile game.

Unfortunately, when you lose a battle, the game is impossible. You have no bones to heal, and there's no way to quit.

I also found it impossible to get anywhere. If I ignore healing, I lose limbs before I can gain enough bones to upgrade. If I heal, then I lose limbs against a really tough opponent I can't fight against.

The idea is very interesting, but after two or three fights the adventurer simply one-shotted all of my limbs and I couldn't do anything...
