Barcelona, Spain - Independent game developer, Indie Dev Stories announces that its most recent baby, Muster my Monsters, is award-winning at AppCircus Barcelona by Jan Wedekind (King, creators of Candy Crush Saga) for its innovation, originality and fun.
Jan Wedekind says: "I love monsters, originality and fun things, so, Muster my Monsters must be award-winning".
Muster my Monsters is an innovative, casual, social game for iPhone and iPad which surprises for its originality and where you may join with up to 4 players in funny and crazy battles featuring hilarious monsters. Muster my Monsters combat mechanics are similar to Rock-Paper-Scissors, but in Muster my Monsters we have ruder actions: Attack beats Mock, Mock beats Dodge and Dodge beats Attack. And this is called "balance".
Muster my Monsters = Party
"Chuck", Goomerah, Oh-oh-zilla and other celebrity monsters will fight for glory in the battle arena of Muster my Monsters. Well, actually they will fight because this is the will of the Monster Master (aka Musty). Musty is a weird being that comes from... somewhere in the universe. His origin is not clear, actually.
What we do certainly know about him is that he loves playing with his monsters and inviting people to play with them. That is why he has created this game for iPhone and iPad. In Muster my Monsters, up to 4 players can measure their reflexes, intuition and bluffing skills or you can also play versus the CPU if you need some training.
The mechanics are based on a rock-paper-scissors gameplay design and are really simple. Each player controls a monster and every monster is able to perform 3 different actions: Attack, Mock and Dodge. Attack beats Mock, Mock beats Dodge and Dodge beats Attack. The player who manages to KO all the rivals wins the combat!
"With Muster my Monsters, we have created a digital toy that enables players to create their own gaming and social experiences. The game is not guided at all. You can play alone or with your friends and family, you can fight in duels, organize a tournament, play on teams, you can tap your rivals' controls or block your rivals' hands... If it is funny and you can do it , do it! Create your own rules! Be a creative player!" - Toni Sala, Founder at Indie Dev Stories.
Muster my Monsters features two game modes that require completely different skills and play styles:
Normal mode. Up to 4 players can fight simultaneously using a single device. Fingers, hands and arms everywhere! Muster my Monsters is a contact sport... and this game mode proves it!
WIFI mode. Up to 4 players can fight simultaneously using their own device which acts as a remote controller connected to the Arena device via WIFI or Bluetooth. In this game mode, you can't see your rivals' next move, so intuition and bluffing are key. Use your mental control capabilities!
By accumulating victories playing any of the game modes you will unlock new monsters. Each one has its own personality and all of them are crazy!
Moreover, at Indie Dev Stories we are working hard right now on new and hilarious updates with new monsters (they can't wait to jump into the arena) and also new content and new super-secret features that we will uncover in the near future.
Muster my Monsters has been developed by a tiny but incredibly talented team of two members that have been developing games for more than five years. It has been a long and tortuous development process of almost 8 months... but it was worth the effort! At Indie Dev Stories we are absolutely proud of Muster my Monsters and we are hoping that you enjoy the game as much as we do.
