One calm evening, Bark and his friends were enjoying the comfort of home when suddenly; a portal to the monster world appears! In The Ultimate Monster-Maze Puzzle Adventure, join the courageous Bark in a world of monsters and complex puzzle mazes to save all of his friends, home belongings, and defeat the various evil monsters!
Monster Bark requires you to use the arrow or WASD keys in controlling the movement of a character. Random traps and puzzles are evident in every level with an obvious increase in game difficulty as you level through the world. Your main task is to avoid all the monsters as much as you can, collect the toys and items shining around the map area, and in certain levels, freeing your friends from bondage!
The unique thing about this awesome game is your capability to control each friend that you save. Through the use of buttons 1 – 5, you can instantly switch the character that you’d wish to use; moreover, every character available has distinct and useful abilities. Special powers can be activated through the use of the spacebar.
For button 1; Bark the fearless dog is the star character that runs with its cute floppy ears and can easily fit through the tiny holes around the puzzle. For button 2; Charlie the tough kid can help you jump across single holes and push aside all the tiny blocks. For button 3; Darcy the screamer features the ability to shout out and stun certain monsters when needed. For button 4; Ed the heavy kid is surely big and bold, rolling and breaking the big blocks as well as the weight to hold down the green switches. Lastly, for button 5; Floyd the nerd may look limp, but with his smart senses, fixing broken wires won’t be a problem! His thinness can also fit through the narrowest obstacles.
I personally think that Monster Bark is a highly addictive game. The maze puzzles may look simple, but serious analyzing skills would be required to completely finish the game. Artwork of each character is rather clever, depicting the unique personality of each character. Bark’s happy aura, Charlie’s swag style, Darcy’s anxious look, Ed’s strong quality, and Floyd’s neutral and geeky appeal. Playing this game might just keep you hooked for hours and hours until the end!
