Considering that you can only expand your terra ranch with terra dollars, and not also with honor points, this makes this game another one of those pay for all benefits type of games. I'll pass. Free players can only hold 6 monsters in the starting ranch at a time. 3 on team + 6 in ranch = 9 total. You have to keep releasing monsters to catch new ones.

Pretty good, but I wish that the battle animations were better than just (parts of) the monsters tilting back and forth which is really stiff compared to their walking animations.
I agree, one day hopefully we'll make the battle animations looks nicer. Creating walk animations for 100+ monsters was massively ambitious.. there's only so much a small group of people can do :(

Entrances and exits from a map should be expanded. Sometimes I'd miss an exit because I walked from the top down or something. When monsters level up, it would be nice if they healed to max automatically. Recovery rate should be a % of hp, instead of a flat hp recovery rate.

On my view,the game is just good.But something I noticed is that the recovery rate is always the same,and the health grows way too fast.This means later in the game,we will need to wait alot just to recover one of our pokemons,and considering the amount of NPCs with tough pokemons just in the first isle (The water one) This may turn into a problem,since every battle we will need to go to the ranch and recover.Yes,I know there are flowers you can use to heal your pets,but this is just a somewhat question,is this intentional?
The intention behind the rest times is to penalize players that just want to play through the game with 1 monster. We want players to have 2 teams while one team is resting you could be out with another team training and progressing. Plus you can buy potions with Honor Points to speed up healing

The point that you battle everyone you walk into is plain stupid... I walk around trying to do my quest, accidentally walk into some guy and there's no way not to fight... you just click X and get to fight with him... 2/5
Fair comment, we'll add in a "I don't want to be challenged by anyone" button. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. You gave us a 2/5 because of that? :(

First I want to say that this is an awesome game! There are a few things I have noticed though. 1. The search bar in the Terrapedia doen't work when searching for monsters. 2. It is sometimes hard to figure out which quest you are going to wuth so many arrows. Maybe a toggle on/off would be helpful. 3. The animation needs just a little improvement. But other than that, this game is very well put together.

Really? This is pokemon, exept you need to pay to get good stuff.
If you want to play a game better than this for free, just download pokemon black or white.

5min in i get ambushed and killed in an unwinable fight. It has no real penalty, but crap like that early in a game just pisses me off. 1 star fail.

It would be nice to Active/Deactivate quests. several arrows pointing to various missions makes me a little confused.

Oh boy... one more of those game were you use real money...
No thanks , used to enjoy kong when was only free games.
"50,404 online playing 56,175 free game"
I rather use my money on my xbox games. 1/5.
You can play through this game completely for free. None of the premium features effects the core game play, if you don't want shiny stuff don't buy the shiny stuff. Little harsh to give us 1/5 soley on that reason when we've gone out of our way to avoid that issue.

Great game, and I'm pretty sure these are much better than pokemon, at least than latest generations :P Though makes me wonder that a story restart option could be nice (or if it is there, I'm too blind to see one). Just so the player could change the starter monster if one decides the picked one doesn't suit him/her in some ways. But it's just a mere thought, I'm satisfied with my pick enough. Cuddleh monsters all the way :3

I gave it a 5/5, that said
pros -
cash shop is reasonable
fun
developer knows he's guilty for making a pokemon clone
cons -
pokemon cloning bastards
no excuses for pokemon clone
"but wait it's different" lies.
camera is zoomed in too far
clunky interface

could add a sell and trade feature cuz u can find a bunch of random food from terramons and u should add in a way to organize ur inventory... my inventory is kinda jumbled up :3
If you click the left right arrows on your inventory it will sort out your items. We will be adding in trades at some point down the line but we need to work how we want the system to work

On a more positive note: The monster designs are great. Adorable, very creative, and I want ALL OF THE THINGS. (And no, I shouldn't be able to have all of the things. But the fact that I WANT to is good. Your doing the designs right! :P)

I should be able to have more than 6 monsters without having to pay real money. Make the pens buyable with both currencies, so free-players can at least eventually earn more space. Or, if you are going to limit it, make it a larger number than SIX. That's barely enough to house everything in the first area. We should get a little more flexibility than that.

a bug to report, + this so the dev can see, i caught a lvl 4 racket that was walking in the grassy break in the road on the first forest map. it cloned itself to 2 of my slots. in battle works as 2 different creatures but on the ranch they eat, wash and rest as 1. also appear as 2 graphically in the ranch.

This is everything I'm tired of in an MMO. Great for a beginning production team's game, horrible for an innovating one's. Good work and all that, but it's just more of the same, in every way.
The game is influenced by Pokemon, no denying that. Pokemon is a great game, why shouldnt someone try and put their own ideas on this genre? Why is it acceptable to have 1000s of FPS or 1000s of Tower Defense games that are essentially the same but not have more than one Creature Capturing game?
Influenced by Pokemon yes, did we set out to rip it off? No. How many good games are there in the creature capturing genre? Who says there can't be more! :) Thanks for the score :)

I Like the game a lot, but a limit of 6 total monsters seems a bit low. I understand why you put a limit and made the only way to increase the limit is to spending money on the game, but I personally think a starting limit of 9 would be more bearable. I will still keep playing, but I can see many will not.

The intro vid you send me is perfect! *------*
By animations I mean the atacks, or hurts. I don't remember the names, but the water and earth 'waves' are the same but color changing.
I hope you don't mind if I keep sending sugestions...
Symbols above the monsters showing up effect stats (accuracy down, burning, poison, something like that).
What about you choose if you want to batle vs the other npcs ranchers?
In the battle screen, could be good scroll the system chat (where appear what atack the monsters just used, and what effect it had).

Yes, if i refresh the same thing happens though i have faith it wont for long, due to how fast and on top of it you are :)

Bout time someone made a Pokemon game for computer...yet this one is on steroids, something beyond our wishes! Thank you for sharing this with us! Easy 5/5 Reminds me of the good ol' days on my Gameboy color, staying up late just so I can catch an ultra rare pokemon ;D

Since too much people like pokemon, why a pokemon-like game should be a problem?
Pretty good game, some improvement in animations would be nice by the way.
An intro could be another thing to think about.
Keep working on it, and maybe Terra Monster can became the game of month. :D
Thanks for the comments! What animations do you feel could be worked on? Here is was the intended intro! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx5PrvClEV4&context=C4eafa28ADvjVQa1PpcFPmE3o2TKCBEbW0liIlPLWX0cxlvZ8HIAY=

OK wow i thought this game would be cheesy BUT wait, let me finish. It is really great and this is coming from a guy who doesn't like pokemon. Great work dude keep it up would love to see some badges but thats only my opinion. Great work :D

As i said I like this game...and thank for being one of the few games that is like this and has not shoved "pay us" in my face. I like that you more or less spam me with everything I need in quest and don't force me to buy stuff (Like that other game) Overall..I think this game could have some animation improvements, But really this game needs more exposer. Yes, It is like pokemon a bit...But really It is fun and more or less one of the few games that is mutiplayer at this point that haesn't put me in a nose hold for a few bucks. and since everything is catchable I can see this game actually grow a big community with the trades (If It has them or not I can't say I only play for a hour) But this game I hope will grow in size and community cause I've kind of had it with the highest rankers on kong trying to Con us recently.
in sort...keep up the good work.
However there is problem...Umm It only tells you when your creatures are hungry after you leave and comeback...please fix that.
Thank you for your comment and welcome to the game! Trades is something we're going to add in very shortly. I'll fix the hunger bug asap, will have an improved version up first thing tomorrow. Thanks again for your comment, helps keep us well motivated! :)
Yes it is in the same Genre as Pokemon. But this game also does a lot of things that Pokemon doesn't. This game is massively multiplayer, it has quests, it has unique monsters, it has creatures roaming on the screen etc
