Super Monsters Ate My Condos - An Addictive iPhone App!

Property is a political issue in Singapore but today, we are going to brush politics aside and step into the virtual world where gigantic, kawaii looking monsters try their best to destroy your condominium unless you give them what they want! 

Let's start with the purpose!
Score as many points as you could before the game ends; which is a matter of either time's up or collapse of the tower.

Gameplay appeared easy and somewhat similar to a vertical matching game; stack up at least three condos of the same colour, upgrade them to a bronze and then three bronze to a silver, three silvers to a gold, three gold to a luxurious diamond condo and three diamonds would culminate in what the game calls Mega Zone! 

The four monsters, identified by their primary colours (red, blue, green and yellow) control your game and only with proper management of their powers would you be able to score!

In a nutshell, feed them the upgraded condos to activate their powers. The higher the upgrade (diamond is obviously of the highest value), the longer you can utilise their powers. Personally, i love to use "green" power to upgrade the condos faster and "yellow" power for point multiplication!

Some statistics from my account; as you can see, green power was top in my list and used for a total of over ten long hours (you can just imagine how much time i spent on this engaging app)! 

Now on the bad side; the condo hungry monsters have a tendency to get angry (remember the saying, a hungry man is an angry man) and every time they are pissed, they would stomp the ground and cause your tower to become increasingly unstable. In the worst case scenario, it would result in a full collapse meaning 'game over'! 

Other types of non-monster condos (pigs, clocks, concrete, nuclear, bombs etc) are included but i am not going to talk about their abilities in this post as it would simply be too dry, too technical and too boring! You can read more on their capabilities via the "How to Play" option on the main app page. 

Ten boosts (you can select up to three) would assist you in reaching your ultimate aim to gain more points, more time etc to complete each game. To ensure my tower doesn't collapse from the unreasonable wrath of the monsters, the "peace" boost is almost picked in every single play! 

Still confuse? To ensure you get the game in its correct context (and to earn additional coins to buy boosts), i would strongly encourage players to clear the goals and advance up the educational ladder.

Lastly, everyone loves the fat lady who is tied to the wheel of fortune that spins at the end of each game (note: not applicable when the tower collapses) and like many people, i am always praying for its jackpot of 5,000 coins!

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the
    web the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you,
    I definitely get irked while people think about worries that they just do not know
    about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out
    the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal.

    Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
