I enjoyed the game, I wish there was a bit more variation and it was a bit confusing at first to distinguish the different caves, but overall once I got it it was really good. Nice one with your custom engine as well! :)

He who feeds monsters should look to it that he himself does not become fed

I noticed two differences, the green gas (tacos?) and the water falling (fire?), but sometimes I would use it and still die. The cute creatures say stuff like "This creature is afraid of fire", so I throw fire, and it wasn't, I don't know if it's intentional or not.

Anyway, I liked the art and the music, it's cute and really looks nice! Good job!

Nice game! It's a bit sad that you don't see the monsters, as I'd have liked to see the art! Do your critters lie sometimes?

I really love the music. Hint sounds are pretty cute too. Background images are nice. I did not get a gameplay: ok, I know by environment and hints that there is probably octopus in the darkness. But how can I know what does octopus likes?

@dexp hints will tell you that he is scared of fire. We wish to have more time to make it less confusing, though :) thanks for feedback.

Sound and art is pretty neat! I was a bit confused because they said that the monster is afraif of fire. So I threw a torch but he ate the sheep anyway :D other than that it was a fun experience!
