Menagerie: Remastered!

Bizarre Monkey submitted a new resource:

Menagerie: Remastered! - Smoother, Shinier, Snazzier! Menagerie: Remastered is the Crazy Chimp Collective's pride and joy.

This game contains intermediate coarse language, subtle and slightly humorous biblical jabs, several violent (though goofishly animated and cartoony) scenes and enough epic over-saturated brilliance to bring Hitler back from the dead and restore his artistic drive. If you feel you may be offended, check up on the Crazy Chimp Collective Tolerance Advisory.

This game was great in quality, i remember playing your other game Intelligence and it enjoyed the futuristic atmosphere that contained in your games.
However, the problem with this game is the bosses are really overbalanced, while the enemies in the map don't give you experience. :|

The enemies are designed as item pinatas, you don't have to kill them by any means. Given the heavy emphasis of crafting in this game, enemies serve as a way to get resources that is... virtually infinite. But I've never needed to grind them.

You can clear the whole game with never fighting a wandering monster, that was the design goal for Menagerie. To make the progression as balanced as possible, while letting the players find ways through crafting to heighten their power. I personally hate games where I'm expected to grind for a couple of hours to be of the right strength to go and face a boss-- Menagerie was designed so that if players wanted to do a fluid playthrough from boss to boss, they easily could.

Intelligence was designed in the same way, it just didn't have wandering monsters.

So this game is alike a boss game, xD

Close, yeah. I wouldn't call it a boss rush, though-- haha.

Not until you get to the actual bosses.

VX Ace. When I initially published it here I didn't know yet about the tagging options. That said, it will run regardless of what programs you have installed.
