Fangsi

Catch monsters, make friends and level together - a casual action adventure with easy controls in a 2D Pixelart world

Features

• 54 fantastic monsimals
• A lively 2D pixel-art world - 11 regions with ambience sound, some with weather effects
• 5 different tools to catch the monsimals 
• Level-ups with skills to catch even more and to gain friendship with the monsimals
• A ship as a home with multiple decks to watch the monsimals until they are released into their future home 

Controls

Use Controller or Keyboard or Keyboard & Mouse. Fangsi is playtested with my 4 year old daughter to make sure the Controller is easy and intuitive to handle.

What to expect?

• Fangsi is meant to be casually enjoyed.
• Fangsi starts fast and lets the player explore on their own pace. No story-driven progress or cinematic cut-scenes. 
• Fangsi is currently a single player game. Multiplayer is not expected, although I might consider a couch-coop in the future.
• What you can download now is a demo that already features the whole game loop - Catch monsimals, level-up, bring the monsimals to your ship, gain friends, release the monsimals and keep your friends. 
• I'm planning to add more biomes and monsimals, and also to add more varyiation into the behaviour and skills of the monsimals to make them unique.

A personal note

• I started my own indie-game-dev adventure because I have seen my kids  (4 and 10) being fascinated by the monster-taming genre. However old-school as well as modern games of the genre are not working for them. Why? There are two main designs prominent in all games: (slow) story-driven progress and/or controls with purely text-based menus. My vision for Fangsi is to create a world that sparks imagination while catching and collecting monsters.
• I'm developing Fangsi in my free time - further progress might be slow and content might change. 

I hope you (or your kids) enjoy Fangsi. Let me know if it works and feel free to send me wishes and ideas via the comments.

See you, Kathleen
