What is 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:
Sam Hocevar (programming, graphics, sound FX)
Brendan Rackley (UI programming)
MenTaLguY (music)
Sun Microsystems, Inc., Michael Speck, David White & the Battle of Wesnoth project, Mike Kershaw (sound FX)

After my correspondence with Sam,
I'm both really excited & delighted to find out that the game is in the process of being re-written,
the comment from Sam by email was:
Note that we are currently rewriting Monsterz as a truly cross-platform
game and there will be an OS X and an iOS version when it's ready.
