Tiny Monster Haven is a new pixel art creature collector from developer Digging Dino that is out now on Steam. Players are entrusted with their very own Monster Haven. They’ll make their monsters strong with special crops and meals, and eventually they start to actively help out, even while away from the computer. Each monster can contribute in different ways: Some water and pollinate your crops, while others help out with the harvest. Certain monsters even cook meals for your team, adding a layer of optimization and light automation to the game.
“I have always been a huge fan of the old Tiny Chao Garden mini-games in Sonic Advance,” said Loderman, solo dev of Digging Dino. “After discovering Rusty’s Retirement, I thought it would be really cool to combine the idea of a monster-taming game with elements of Tiny Chao, all while the game sits at the bottom of your screen. I was already working on a monster-taming RPG, and I realized that this would be a great mix of different gameplay mechanics, all of which I was passionate about. Thus, Tiny Monster Haven was born.”
