Monster Garden can now be played with the "wasd" keys instead of just the arrow keys! I hope that makes it easier to play.
Also, I fixed a bug involving dialogue when Foofter's not in the party in a certain scene in Seedling 2.
Enjoy!
NEW VERSION
I just uploaded a new version of the game. It now includes three signs offering basic tips about the game: how to speed walk (hold shift), how to save (at the white diamond), and how to scroll quickly without selecting something accidentally (press x, ie the cancel button (i disabled cancel in all menus so it's okay)).
ENJOY!
Third Minor Update
I made a few changes after watching this series of Let's Plays of Monster Garden by TheSmallAlvarez:
Mainly just tweaks to text so the game makes more sense and is more responsive. Enjoy! :)
Second Update (Very Minor)
・Tookis' special ending achievement wasn't triggering in two of his three possible endings. That explains the low number in Global Achievements. I was feeling sorry for Tookis for a second there! Now all Achievements should be triggering properly.
・A few other minor improvements to text and experience.
First Update (Minor)
These updates were inspired by things I noticed while watching Angel Arts' delightful Let's Play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-F9cPaviZ4
UPDATES:
・Made it possible to achieve two achievements that had been impossible.
・Changed some text that didn't sound good.
・Erased stray pixels on some sprites.
・Q mentioned Albert even when the player never met him, so fixed that.
・Fixed a few animations that were off.
Let me know if you find any bugs! Thanks!
