Monster Bomber

"Space Invaders Touch!"

Monster Bomber is a game that involves falling bombs that will blow you up if you do not shoot them with multi colored balls of paint.

Story: Can't really expect much of a story from a space invaders type game. Yeah there is no story.

Gameplay: (9/10) This game utilizes the touch screen to bring a classic game to a new level. You pull out balls of paint on the touch screen to hurl at the bombs that are dropping down on the top screen. This is done by dragging from the tub of paint towards the direction you want to fire the paint ball at. You can also do rapid fire by quickly tapping the tub of paint for a straight shot. Enemies are destroyed only by throwing the correct color of paint ball at them. If you throw the wrong color paint ball at the enemy, the paint ball may become a monster. In addition, you can charge up the ball of paint and fire it at an enemy to knock the wrong colored enemy into the right colored one thus causing a chain reaction that destroys them both. Obstacles are also put into the game so you can reflect shots off walls to rid yourself of the enemy. A special bar is put into play as you can fire out rainbow shots at the enemy which allows you to destroy the enemy regardless of their color. This bar is charged up with each monster you destroy. The monsters also come in different forms which tell you how many shots of their color you need to fire in order for them to be eliminated. Game also offers stage requirements and level choice.

Multiplayer: (10/10) Multiplayer allows you to play the game with a friend who does not have the game via download play. This feature supports up to four players. You can also choose which player you want the extra monsters or blockages to go to when you destroy sufficient monsters.

Graphics: (7/10) Graphics are unique. The different forms of monsters are well drawn. Not much to expect really though since this is a 2d game.

Sound/Music: (9/10) The game allows you to choose what background music you want playing so if you are bored of the current one you can simply press a button while in the game and it will change. Features a variety of music and some are quite catchy.

Replay: If you enjoy playing this style of gaming, there is always room for replay.

Overall: 9/10
