This is an EctoComp game from 2011 when EctoComp only had the 3-hour category, thus making it speed-if. Having played a few games by this author, it seems he likes to let the player be creative. In this game you can name your own monsters and then give them various powers by combining several objects before they are unleashed onto the world in absurd, humorous (in most cases) ways.
This game is not revolutionary but still original enough to be entertaining. However, you seem to be able to go on forever, so it seems the game has no ending. EDIT: According to Mathbrush's review, the game can end. (Spoiler - click to show)And you can choose to be either cruel or life giving [sorry, a small hint there].
I only noticed one bug: Please do NOT get all, but instead get one object at a time, otherwise the game is not aware what you are holding. Another minor critique: This game is humorous and absurd and in most cases fun. However, one type of death seemed a bit too realistic to be fun, but I won't hold that against it as that is always a risk when creating comedy horror.
