It had a great mood, with the aesthetics and audio tying in nicely. I loved the little stick figures running around and the cool writing.

After some point, I was able to talk to &quot;Luna&quot; anywhere. Luna would respond even when I was trying to talk to someone else.

You decide to clean up your act by smelling better, looking better, and getting a little bit reckless.  You soon find the other kids will start to like you-- but at what cost?\r\n\r\nWill you become another kind of neurotic highschool monster?\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nGameplay:\r\n\r\n- Raise your attributes by collecting items around the school. Hold the up key and press spacebar to open doors and lockers.  What could be inside?\r\n- Try to make friends and raise your coolness by pressing spacebar. If you are not up to their standards (you monster), they will tell you why!\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\nHow it was made:\r\n\r\nOriginally intended for the compo, but early bugs kept me from hitting the deadline. Aside from delivering the game in 72 hours, all other compo rules were followed.\r\n\r\n- Engine: Unity\r\n- Animated Sprites: piskel\r\n- Tile Maps: GIMP\r\n- Music: Fruity Loops\r\n- Sound Effects: bfxr\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nKNOWN ISSUES**\r\n- Occasionally, NPC names are not displayed correctly in the dialog box.  After a while, the same name might continue appearing over and over, even though your character is talking to different NPCs.\r\n- Graphics are not pixel-perfect.\r\n- UI not optimized for playable aspect ratio. Will need to adjust window size until all UI elements display as expected.\r\n\r\nThis is my first ever Unity game and it worked great on my home PC.  Once I transferred it to other machines, its proven to be very buggy.  I may provide more bugfixes in the coming days, but will NOT change gameplay or assets in anyway.\r\n\r\nEnjoy!","title":"Teenage Monster"}
