    This MicroMon game looks more promising than some other games and more importantly, it looks well balanced in graphics and gameplay departments.

    There was a different game in the development that looked like it was trying too hard to a pokemon clone and looked a little kiddish. Meanwhile, the other one in the work looked too focused on creating eye-candy graphics and aiming for "coolness", but appeared to be lacking in details on gameplay or the story itself.

    BUT thanks to your video, this game could be what I may settle for.

    I actually think this is more of a clone to pokemon and in fact, this game is branded as a catch 'em all game and even compares itself to pokemon in the videos while the other game has said it's not a catch em all game and has it's completely own take on the creatures instead of just wild monsters ;-)
    That is of course if you were refering to my game with that comment - if not, disregard that.

    In saying that, I think this looks very good and I'll certainly be getting it when it's released! Although, my biggest complaint is the user interface looks very clunky.

    Looks pretty cool, but I agree that the UI seems to be a bit heavier than it should.

    Hello! The UI is dynamic, they key items bar can be hidden by just tapping the items icon, so you will open it only when you need it ;) if it still looks clunky we will let our community make suggestions and change it as we develop the game.

    To be honest I really like these graphics more than the pixel graphics! There are so many games on the App Store riding on the good old "nostalgic pixels" or whatever and when I've owned so many of them, I really want to go back to simple cartoony or realistic graphics...

    I really like your project! I highlighted the things we believe makes us different from Pokemon in our project page, and yes we do make reference to Pokemon in the video so we could explain easily what was the game about : a monter capture game, once again its like comparing Street Fighter vs MK.

    If after reading the whole thing you think this is "just" a clone I respect your opinion and just like you said on a recent interview: play the game and if you still think it's a clone, we are fine with it.

    Good Luck! with your project! I will be getting your game as soon as its released :)

    Oh, trust me, I know what it's like being called a clone game (not always fun to read). I just ment that comment in regards to what the other user said.

    But I truly support this project and I love that you all are making a game in this sub-genre because we have something in common. I said this also to the guys making MyMyMonsters (another game in this sub-genre), I hope to some day met your team and discuss in depth about our games. That is my goal, to meet up with other developers in this area - like minded people.
    I'm a 1-man team, I don't hold any grudges or say "ohhhh.... competition" - that's not my style (although I might joke about it in a comment). I'll be checking in on the thread regularly and if I get some extra cash I'll be donating to your kickstarter project.

    So to sum up, I don't think your a clone, not at all. But if that user was referring to ZENFORMS with his comment, I was just pointing out the obvious compared to it.

    Edit
    Ha your line about Street Fighter vs. MK was great. I always say the same but replace the games with Call Of Duty and Battlefield.

    Great job guys! Absolutely FANTASTIC artwork. Loving the animation, multiplayer, mechanics. It's everything that all previous collection games have been lacking. More monsters will be added periodically I hope? That would be perfect, perhaps some random incredibly rare monsters? LIMITLESS possibilities with this type of game on this type of platform. You could REALLY have something here if you execute this properly! Good luck to all of you!
