Tia's Gotta Make an Omelette
A downloadable game for Windows
A game made for:
Magical Girl Game Jam #8
Chosen theme: Mother of all Omelettes
In this turn-based game, you will take on the role of Tia, a magical girl who isn't afraid to crack a few monsters to make an omelette. And she uses every tool at her disposal.
The focus here is on the items. Too many games make their usefulness rather limited or duplicate their effects in a skill making them altogether pointless. Why use a pricey healing potion when you can just spend a little magic to do the same thing? As a result, they largely go ignored. This game aims to do something different.

Story:
Fighting evil as a magical girl is a very exhausting job that's sure to work up a great appetite. Tia the Sparkly Power Bunny knows this better than anyone. Other magical girls always tell her to just load up on carbs in the morning to hold her over throughout the day. But she insists on eating PROTEIN! And the easiest source of that is eggs. Super affordable, versatile, and tasty! But the grocery stores never hold enough to satiate Tia. She could buy 100 cartons and still want more. There's really only one option for her: Get 'em herself. And of course, a super tough magical girl like herself isn't just going to wait around on a hen to lay an egg. She's a monster fighter!
There are 4 egg-laying monsters that Tia will fight when she's in need of a resupply. The Cockatrice, Lizardwoman, Harpy, and Lamia. Why these monsters? Their eggs are massive! Perfect for a hearty omelette. (She kinda likes to be punished by them too)

amazing mental image of hurling spice into enemies' eyes and then pincushioning them with knives. 10/10 dinner's ready
