Cake Monsters
Platform: Javascript/HTML5
Well, it turns out that monsters like cake, which means that you can stop looking under your bed at night and instead start guarding your fridge. But if they're as adorable as the ones in Cake Monsters, you might just let them have a slice or two. In this retro puzzler, colourful monsters want to eat the cake with a corresponding colour. To move the monsters, press the [arrow] keys, and use [Z] to undo your moves.
The first few levels are (must resist puns) rather easy. Blue monster eats blue cake, done, moving on. Soon enough, though, you learn that monsters can merge and their colours combine, so a blue and a yellow monster turn into one green one; also, if you mix tree or more colours, you invariably get brown. This will come in handy when cakes start getting more sneaky and require more careful planning. Of course, a big shout-out goes to the undo button, which lets you undo as many moves as you like, therefore removing any frustration and letting you enjoy your puzzles in peace. Cake Monsters is a bite-sized (Turkish?) delight of a game, but still tricky enough to keep you challenged. Chomp away!
Ok, it took me way too long to figure out space bar would start the game. Told me everything else but that.
It's nice to see another canvas game, and this one is brilliant! My only criticism is that I couldn't turn off the music without editing the HTML by hand.
Color combining question...
I've got one blue, one yellow, one red... I need a green and an orange. Combining either set first yields brown if you add the other one.
Any suggestions? What am I missing?
@ CrankYanker
I'm not sure what level you're talking about, but is it possible that
you have two yellow monsters at the beginning of the level, and they get combined by accident?
@Starchild: Yeah, that was it. Thx!
Why does yellow plus orange equal brown? Yellow plus orange should equal orange.
Monsters don't care about silly colour mixing rules. Haters gonna hate.
Whew, I was so in the zone, I have no idea how I cleared the last level!
I knew I could get orange on top somehow, but I have no idea how I did it. LOL.
Cakey goodness!
Here's the basic trick to the final level if anyone is having trouble:
You need to create a new orange monster to get the top two cakes. The one at the bottom can't get there safely.
I actually had the most trouble with the third to last one with the blue, red, and yellow monsters.
Also I can't help seeing these guys as elephants rather than monsters for some reason.
