Monster Dash returns: more monsters, weapons, better Barry

The Barry Steakfries Trilogy, which consists of Jetpack Joyride, Age of Zombies, and Monster Dash, have long been a cure for boredom and also a cause of unproductivity. Monster Dash is now finally available on Android and has been upgraded with even more monsters to kill, better weapons to kill them with, and a more dashing Barry to kill them all.

Monster Dash is a side-scrolling, running adventure game where your only purpose in that digital life is to kill as many monsters as you can, while getting all the gold that they are carrying. The gold you get is then used to upgrade Barry as the game progresses along. You get to chase them, jumping through chasms and portals, across six different worlds, which have their own “classic monster” themes like vampires, mummies, etc.

You get to use various weapons and vehicles to help you in killing all the monsters you come across. Get weapons like The Pacifier, Rocket Launcher, Mr. Zappy and then all-terrain rides like the HOG and Machine Gun Jetpack. Daily events also give you the chance to take on challenges and get prizes to help you in playing the main game. In terms of its look and graphics, developer HalfBrick Studios is consistent enough with its blockish cartoon-type of imagery.

You can get Monster Dash from the Google Play Store for only $0.99. There are several in-app purchases available, including the classic monster chasers from Ghostbusters, which will set you back another $1.99. But hey, it’s a classic and nostalgia for it is pretty high, so you might want to add it to your Monster Dash content.
