When it’s comes to iDevice games, it’s tough to have an original idea anymore. There are first-person-shooters, defending-the-castle and puzzles, among others. Lost Monsters is an example of a puzzle game that is good for all ages and makes up for its lack of originality by having fun designs and music to go with the game.
The concept is that all the cute, pet monsters in the city have gone missing. The good news is that apparently they’re all hiding in the same building. You have to get them back by matching four or more monsters in adjacent windows. It’s a bit like Bejeweled but with monsters instead of gems.
The character designs are the best part of the game with the monsters looking cute and original. I think the designers took a page from Disney in that regard. They are very cartoonish and not really scary, which is good. As you progress in the game, new monster designs are added for you to match up.
The music and sound design also enhance the game without getting annoying. If you do find them annoying, there are settings in the game to turn either or both off.
If I had any complaints it would be that this is a perfect game to be able to play one’s iPod music library in the background. That would be a nice feature to add in future releases.
Quick Take
Value:High.
Would I Buy Again:Probably.
Learning Curve:Low.
Who Is It For:Those who like to spend time with simple puzzle games. Or kids.
What I Like:Excellent character and sound design.
What I Don't Like:Would be nice to play iPod music in the background.
Final Statement:Lost Monsters is a lot of fun for a little price.
The city's entire population of adorable pet monsters has disappeared, and it's up to you to get them back.
Slide, swipe, and tap your way through ever increasing levels of monsters in the colorful addictive and fast-paced match game unlike any other.
Every level is harder and faster than the previous, with more and more colorful monsters trying to avoid capture by boarding up their windows.
Once you start playing, you won't be able to put it down. Can you unlock all 12 monsters?
