Very fun and interesting take on the jam theme. I could envision a mechanic like this included across an entire creature collector--let the player figure out the monster's info on their own! I thought the clues were generally quite straightforward but there's only so obscure you can make them when the framing device is "letters from friends excitedly telling you everything they saw" :'D I loved the little monster sprites, would love to see them on my gameboy!

Thanks! Yeah, I originally imagined more intricate clues like "And then I faced a trainer with three monsters, and two of them overlapped in alignment with one of my monsters, but one of them had a move that..." etc but it didn't come up very naturally in the writing. 😄 I will do some post-jam updates, and with some more time to think about it, I'll see what clue variations I can come up with!
