About the Game

Monster Bash is full of scary action and haunting puzzles. No previous Apogee game has featured so much animation. Johnny can climb, crawl, shoot his multi-directional slingshot, fly a broom, and much, much more. His super-charged slingshot can shoot rocks, rockets, fireballs, and other surprises. There also more enemy creatures and monsters than ever seen in an Apogee game.
