The Goal

Survive. Survive as long as possible and eat other monsters in the process.

The Mechanics

All monsters switch from nice to evil. If two monsters meet and one of them is evil and the other is nice, the evil will eat the nice one. If they are both in the same state, nothing will happen, they will go their separate ways until they meet again.

Each round you can jump to the left, the the right or in place. You control the direction of jump by swiping the screen. Other monsters control their jumps by their monsterly powers.

There are three types of monsters. Even though they have the same size I call them small, medium and large.
- Small: changes states every round and can jump only 1 cell
- Medium: changes states every other round which means that he is nice for two rounds and evil for two next rounds and then becomes nice for two rounds again. It can jump over one cell.
- Large: stays nice for three rounds and then becomes evil for three next rounds. It’s jumps are the largest - it jumps over two cells.

You, the player, have the medium type monster. You can jump over one cell and you change from nice to evil every two rounds.

Game Modes

In regular mode the rounds change automatically and if the player doesn’t swipe anywhere during previous round, his monster will jump in place.
In step by step mode the rounds are triggered by the player’s swipes. If you don’t swipe, all monsters won’t jump and will patiently wait for you.

The Progression

  1. As you start the game you will see monsters who are always nice. They are an easy prey, just get them when you are evil and you are sure to get them.
  2. This is too easy though, in a little while you will see regular small monsters appear. They can be evil as well, so if they get you while you are nice, you may lose a life. But you can outrun them as they can only jump one cell at a time and you can jump two.
  3. After a while you will see medium monsters appear from time to time along the small ones. Medium monsters are just like you, they are nice for two rounds and evil for two next rounds.
  4. At level 4 you in addition to small and medium monsters you will see large monsters. They make very long jumps and therefore quite unpredictable. In addition they stay evil for three rounds so once they entered evil state you cannot outwait them. On the other hand, once they become nice they stay nice for three rounds. Go and get them!
