july1

july1 is my attempt to make a monster-catching game with all monsters and no catching. there are 40 monsters! instead of catching, just try to kill them all! this isn't a land of love. this game is very luck-based! most (all) of the strategy comes from whether you choose to fight, cast a random spell by taking a chance, or choosing a random item to use! this game is incompatible with mobile devices! thanks to my lovely gf bianca for coming up with klaymediatwinse. <3
