Tiny Lantern by Knatt
Located somewhere in the universe is a giant creature named IO. It does not know its creator, but it knows that it has one purpose; to preserve life. It has created its own planet and has populated it. While it rests from creation, it observes the tiny life forms do a dance of territory disputes via battling each other.
Take control of these tiny lifeforms and help them conquer the others in a special "Rock, Paper, Scissors" style battling game! Set your monsters move set to have one STRENGTH move, DEXTERITY move, and INTELLIGENCE move, backed by a wildcard CHOICE move! Each move has a special effect for when it wins, loses & ties. They also can have other effects, so make a combo playstyle!
There are two game modes. Single Player and PvP (Hotseat)
**The game was made in Clickteam Fusion. Windows will think it is malware when you try to open it, I promise its not.
Also the data.aar has to be in the same folder as the executable**
>> KEYBINDS Keys that are used are: Hovering with Mouse - Description Clicking with Mouse - Selection/Confirmation
>> (Rock, Paper, Scissors): Strength beats Dexterity, Dexterity beats Intelligence, Intelligence beats Strength (Red > Green > Blue > Red)


>> (Player 1 Controls): WASD - Maneuver the Menu Q - STR Move (Strength is the Red Rectangle) W - DEX Move (Dexterity is the Green Triangle) E - INT Move (Intelligence is the Blue Circle) R - CHOICE Move (Choice is the Star Shape, and the color determines its "type")

>> (Player 2 Controls): Arrow Keys - Maneuver the Menu U - STR Move I - DEX Move O - INT Move P - CHOICE Move
PROTIP: When you are looking through the monster list, you hover over the monster you want and then drag your mouse directly horizontal to the move list (Clicking on the monster name does not lock in the monster).
>> We took the tiny creature theme literally. Each monster is approximately 32x32 pixels, on a window of 240px x 160px. The resolution can scale with how big you drag open the window.
