Monster Wants Candy

Not much of a gamer, I still enjoyed Monster Wants Candy as a light and fun diversion when I needed a break with simple challenges and just the right amount of depth.

The candy monster you have to feed and avoid bombs adds an element of exhilaration that keeps players on their toes. It buzzes with addictive game play — the desire to collect candies for that cute monster — which most players feel on a universal level. The narrative flavor, in which you’re on a quest to rescue your beloved from the clutches of the Evil King, gives the overall experience a nice bit of depth. This is intuitive, and will appeal to younger players. Hopefully, you can see how the experience could be different than the classic way, and let me say, with scores savable, and competition with friends, it really adds to the replay. It won’t change the demographic of your Pavlov, but it does make for an ideal one-handed lunch gaming session. Overall though, the game has a sweet appeal, like the candies you collect for the monster.
