Melody Monsters

The creator of the successful Apalabrados, which has kept us fighting for years with other users from all over the world to see who knows more about words, returns to the fore with a new puzzle game. This is Melody Monsters, with which she contributes her grain of sand to the game style of Candy Crush Saga , although with a somewhat different and fresh gameplay. A game with a mechanic that is already somewhat worn out but that is really entertaining.

In Melody Monsters we meet the young and fanciful Melody , who every night, in dreams, travels to Dreamland This place is full of cute monsters who love music and melodies, and where they sing with the young woman in a happy environment. Of course,Dreamlandis threatened by the evil Silencio and his vassals, the Monkey Tonys. They want silence to reign in the dreams of Melody, and that is where we players enter into this whole story, since we are responsible for restoring harmony and music to this magical place.

After the artistic presentations, we find ourselves before a puzzle game that bears many (too many) similarities with Candy Crush Saga From the boards with different shapes and slots to play in, right down to the concept of power-ups and bonus to help us beat each level.Of course, the mechanics are somewhat different, and Melody Monsters has its own elements to give the title dynamism, not to mention the confrontations. Nothing new in this genre of games, but elaborate enough to hook us for a few hours.

Just use a finger to create chains with monsters of the same color These are formed by sliding in a straight line, whether vertical , horizontally, or diagonally with at least one chain of three monsters. This causes them to disappear from the game board and new ones, with other colors, drop in their place. Of course, if we want to be true masters of Melody Monster we have to create really long strings. Thus, in addition to adding more punctuation, we will be able to create choirs if we link at least six of these monsters And superchoirs if we get to ten monsters of the same type With them you get double scores for other chains and thus reach the three rating stars at the end of each level.

The game is divided into different worlds that refer to different musical styles, from classical to rock Something that is noticeable not only in the aspect of the mapping, but also in the melodies that are produced when creating the chains.

So that the game is not boring, we soon find ourselves with obstacles such as ice or vinyl records. As in Candy Crush, you have to create combos around them to destroy them and beat the level requirements. In addition, every five tests there is a confrontation against a Monkey Tony, which you have to damage by creating more chains.

In short, a game that innovates little in the well-worn universe of puzzle titles, although that is something that its fans will like followers.The title is quite easy at first, but you have to master the technique to avoid getting stuck on some level. It also has a certain social component when you sign in with the details of Facebook user and see how far our friends have come

Regarding the technical aspect, the title presents a colorful and animated visual section, in two dimensions. Its effects are little surprising, but they comply. The downside is that it's a bit slow to play, especially between levels due to load times. It is his section sonoro that stands out, as is logical. Sometimes it's fun to make chains to recognize the melody they produce, rather than to create it itself.

The title Melody Monsters is available free both in Google Play as in App Store. Of course, it has integrated purchases.
