About the Game

Monsters! is a dual stick shooter inspired by the classic arcade game Robotron 2084 and SmashTV. Originally released in 2013 on the now defunct Desura website, and later to itch.io and Steam, Monsters! was our very first indie game!

To celebrate it's 10 year Anniversary we have given the game some much needed love, including taking a pass at the art, monster mechanics, and difficulty progression, as well as updating it to a newer version of the Unity Engine (adds support for new Macs/MacOS).

Monsters! Anniversary Edition is also now FREE on all platforms.

Thanks to Travis for the new promo art!
