It was really addictive at first, but then i caught on to the little trick of the cube that flashes. Which lets you know that it can be moved for a combo.
Reviews for "Monsters Hill"
Nice game, but not an entirely pleasant gaming experience. First, the mouse is too sensitive to movement, and it forces you to barely move it, which puts a lot of tension on your wrist. Second, I don't know what happened, but I got the 5 monsters on screen twice in the same level, it even showed in your in-game achivement banners, yet I didn't get the medal for it. Third, I made an amazing combo and when it stopped, I had no moves left and the AI forced a shuffle, thus costing me a life. And the same annoyances of Bejeweled happened here: all the colored monsters for a big monster on the opposite side of the screen, big clusters of stones and no bombs aligned to make them explode, and so on,
How can i get "game Over"?
This isn't really a puzzle game, it's more like a 'something to keep your hands busy' game. The way combos build is so quick, and the effects so huge, that you're basically playing with a new board every ten seconds; unless you spend a minute making each move, you can't really come up with anything like a strategy. It's a problem with all Bejeweled mock-ups.
To the people below me; every time you run out of moves, the board randomly reshuffles, AND YOU LOSE A LIFE. If you run out of lives, you lose. You gain a life every 30,000 points. Maybe you should pay a bit more attention to the interface outside of the play area; your lives are clearly shown, and you see the details if you mouse over it.
no strategy whatsoever
lags pretty badly for me
