Monsterz

Jul 20, 2023

Arcade puzzle game

Monsterz is a little arcade puzzle game, similar to the famous Bejeweled or Zookeeper.

The goal of the game is to create rows of similar monsters, either horizontally or vertically. The only allowed move is the swap of two adjacent monsters, on the condition that it creates a row of three or more. When alignments are cleared, pieces fall from the top of the screen to fill the board again. Chain reactions earn you even more points.

This game is mostly about luck, but it remains highly addictive. You have been warned. Currently two modes are available

* Classic - play against the clock and clear a given number of each monster
  type to reach next level.
* Puzzle - clear lines of monsters to move pieces around and put together
  the puzzle.
* Training - play against the clock in a neverending level, chose the timer
  difficulty and number of monsters for infinite fun.
