Description
Deal with the strange and insane inhabitants of The Island as you explore a series of ruins that were discovered beneath the surface.
It’s your 13th birthday so the government says you’re old enough to die in a hole! (It’s all in the name of adventure, so it’s cool.)
Choose from 13 starters and dive into the depths of The Ruins, where every victory unlocks new opportunities. Defeat five critters to open the next door and claim loot, but you’ll face a tough choice: enhance your team or trade treasures for essential supplies. Progress through the site by defeating instructors to unlock more ANIMALs and resources for your expeditions. Adventure has never been so wild—or deadly!
Features
- 251 unique ANIMALs (Fakemon inspired by real-world things) with brand-new artwork and Dex entries.
- A completely original soundtrack.
- Randomized Dungeon runs, ensuring every trip is a fresh experience.
- Multiple bosses to defeat.
- Leaders (Teachers) can be fought in any order, with their teams scaling to your progress, though you’ll have to pay a fee for each battle.
- Teacher teams include ANIMALs from their type specialties, adding variety to the battles.
- Enemies scale with your level, and a level cap keeps things challenging.
- NPCs with randomized dialogue that pulls from hundreds of sayings, quotes, and one-liners
- Character portraits with their dialogue, like most modern 2D RPGs.
- A goofy, sarcastic tone to everything (I’m sorry if you’re not a fan.)
- Appearances by various celebrities, including beloved President, Abraham Lincoln!
- A real, working cigarette item! (Your animals will look so cool!)
- Redone UNOWNs as actual letters
- An easter egg that explains what happened to your dear ol’ dad
- Unique Animal Ball colors and a muted Pokédex color scheme add visual flair.
- A third gender option (Dinosaur, the third gender is dinosaur)
Quality of Life Improvements

- Physical/Special Split
- Infinite TMs and HMs

- Forget HMs without needing a deleter
- Instant text scrolling speed
- Toggleable EXP Share for all
- Gain EXP when catching Pokémon
- Comfy evening color palette
- Short beeps for low HP alerts
- No save delay
- Apricorns finish instantly
- No trade evolutions (usually evolve at Level 36)

Changelog – What’s New!
UPDATE 1/14/2025:
A ton of bug fixes that (I hope) fix everything and make everything playable, from beginning to end. Special thanks to user “Blue Suede Goo” as they wrote up and found a bunch of the bugs I’d missed.
As of now, the following problems are fixed:
- All boss parties are working correctly and patched the issue where beating the boss of the machine ruins looped you back to the flame ruins
- Fixed the loop in the flame ruins that would send you back to the stone ruins if you chose the heal path. Also fixed the battle with Lara, so that works correctly
- Fixed the glitches with the ruin bosses parties so that they don’t show up as like level 250-ish, plus fixed it so you can catch all the LETTAHs without the game shitting itself; Also updated some sprites for clarity
- Fixed a couple of minor bugs with the room counters and shinies, but also added a fourth stats page that displays the base stats of the ANIMAL and its current happiness level
- Fixed the soft lock in the shiny rooms
- Made the officers leave after you have all 8 badges
- Fixed the graphical and text glitches when you try to buy TMs or held items in the Site’s Mart
- Fixed the graphics glitch that takes place when talking to the DayCare man after getting the Odd Egg
- Fixed the crashing in the Fire Ruins in the cross-shaped room
- Fixed the crashing in the tri-branch room in the Machine Ruins
- Fixed so you can actually battle the Barghest in the tower instead of a second Yeti
- Fixed the text glitch in the Game Corner that was making the words appear as what the other clerk was selling
