2011’s Monster Tale was their freshman effort: a quirky, whimsical Nintendo DS title that once again uses the DS’s dual screens to blend genres together, this time in Metroidvania/virtual pet flavor. Peter Ong and Ryan Pijai, Henry Hatsworth’s director and programmer respectively, broke away from EA Tiburon and founded their own game development studio, DreamRift, in 2009. Together Ellie and Chomp will take on scores of baddies that threaten to end their Monster Tale mid-adventure.It should come as no surprise that the developers behind Henry Hatsworth and the Puzzling Adventure – a quirky, whimsical Nintendo DS title that takes the term “puzzle platformer” quite literally – were a bit too good to roost forever at Electronic Arts. As Chomp gains new attributes he can evolve into approximately 30 unique forms with new attacks, shields, bombs and even the ability to transform into useful objects. But when Ellie needs some brute force or protective defense, she can summon Chomp to the top screen to back her up in her quest to save the Monster World. The Touch Screen serves as Chomp’s Pet Sanctuary where he evolves with new abilities as he eats and plays with what Ellie provides from the top screen or buys for him in the store. Players control both Ellie and Chomp as they explore and battle through five non-linear kingdoms in the Monster World, including the Wicked Treehouse, Monster Express Train, Ancient Ruins and Monster Nightclub. This dynamic duo sets out on a fantastic adventure where our Monster Tale begins.

That is, until little Ellie discovers the Monster World and befriends a mysterious young monster named Chomp. This ragtag pack of kids is using the monsters to do all sorts of selfish, destructive things that will ultimately result in the downfall of the Monster World. A group of nasty kids have snuck into a secret world inhabited by monsters and enslaved them as their pets.
