A game which combines elements of platform, logic, and action games. In MonsterBag you play as a small monster named V, who is trying to find his missing female friend in a world full of humans and hostile beasts. Throughout the adventure you have to beat a dozen or so unique levels filled with different kinds of danger, the greatest of which are humans.
MonsterBag is a production that combines features characteristic for platformers, logical games and action-oriented games. Playing the role of a small monster, we try to survive in a world full of people ... and hostile beasts. IguanaBee is responsible for the PlayStation Vita version.
During our adventures we play the role of a friendly V - a small, blue monster, who befriended a girl named Nia. At some point his companion is leaving for unknown reasons and our task is to find her as soon as possible. In order to achieve this, however, we have to break through several unique boards, filled to the brim not only with monsters unfavourable to us, but also with something much "worse" - ordinary people. The latter, despite the fact that they pose a serious threat, are also specific "platforms" through which the protagonist gets to the next sections of the location. When performing jumps, hanging and flips, we must be constantly careful not to be seen by any of the people. In order to distract their attention, V can use his special skills, including telekinesis. At the end of some levels we also have a boss fight.
MonsterBag graphic design is based on a simple but characteristic line. All characters have been created in a slightly abstract style, usually focusing on bright, contrasting colours, reminiscent of some cartoons. The game is relatively brutal despite the friendly looking world, and the animations of death are surprisingly illustrative. The soundtrack doesn't stand out from the crowd, but it's adapted to the dynamic action seen on the screen.
