Monsterlings

Two little monsters bump into each other… and become one bigger monster. Simple. Then a boss flies in and sets your board on fire.

Monsterlings is a merge game that fights back: a cozy puzzle in a sparkling corner of space, wrapped around a side-scrolling shooter and twelve bosses who will not leave you alone.

THE BOARD FIGHTS BACK Every monster you merge has an evil twin — and they come for your board. Partway through a level, a boss drops in on a flying saucer and does something about it. Ember scorches a column so nothing in it can merge. Prism encases your biggest monsters in crystal. Echo hides the monster you are holding AND the one coming next. Valen breaks the board's heart and stops merging altogether for five drops. Twelve bosses, twelve different ways to ruin your afternoon.

MERGE THEM ANYWAY Drop fluffy one-eyed creatures, match pairs, and grow them through ten stages from tiny Zippy to shimmering Nova. Keep the pile below the line as it swells, wobbles, squishes and blinks back at you.

THEN YOU FLY Fill the meter and the whole board pops in a shower of points. Your copilot hops into a flying saucer and sets off through the stars — steer with a thumb, let the laser do its thing, and stay well clear of the black holes. Every fifth flight is a boss fight against the very monster who has been raiding your board.

SUPERPOWERS WORTH SAVING Beat a boss and their power goes up for sale. Powers drop rarely and they BANK, so you can hold one for the moment it matters. Zap. Sweep. Charm. Upgrade Ray. Wildcard. And, very rarely, a Black Hole that swallows the whole board for a combo you will be telling people about.

WHAT'S WAITING • Twelve bosses who raid your merge board, each with their own attack • Six bankable superpowers, three upgrades each • A hangar: pilots to unlock, hull to upgrade, power slots to buy • Ten huggable monsters that blink, squish and pile up — with true-to-shape physics, so every monster collides exactly the way it looks • A living space sky: twinkling stars, drifting galaxies, the odd shooting star • Soft plops, pew-pew lasers and calm cosmic ambience • One-finger controls, sessions as short or as long as you like • Free to play. No account. Plays offline.

Easy to learn, hard to stop, impossible to stay mad at. The monsters are waiting — and so are their evil twins.
