Monsterz Alternatives

Monsterz

[Please check comments for updated download links].

Monsterz is a little arcade puzzle game, similar to the famous http://alternativeto.net/software/bejeweled-2/ or Zookeeper.
The goal of the game is to create rows of similar monsters, either horizontally or vertically. The only allowed move is the swap of two adjacent monsters, on the condition that it creates a row of three or more. When alignments are cleared, pieces fall from the top of the screen to fill the board again. Chain reactions earn you even more points.
This game is mostly about luck, but it remains highly addictive. You have been warned.

Currently three modes are available:

Classic - play against the clock and clear a given number of each monster type to reach next level.

Puzzle - clear lines of monsters to move pieces around and put together the puzzle.

Training - play against the clock in a neverending level, chose the timer difficulty and number of monsters for infinite fun.

Monsterz is completely free software, available under the terms of the WTFPL. It was written by the following people:
