Fight to dominate the bedroom floor in the most intense and humorous turn based game of the year!

Monster Ball is a turn based strategy game that builds on the simplicity of checkers without getting as complex (*ehm* and boring) as chess.

Its simply chinese checkers on steroids!

—————————————————————————
The rules are simple!

Big guys eat smaller guys and grow bigger. But watch out! Once greed takes over and you grow too large, you will explode into 1000 pieces scattering the neighbors with green goo.

Find the right balance, take tactical advantage of the myriad of special tiles like splitters, clone machines and bazookas and you will be victorious with a big, sarcastic smile on your lips.

Monster Ball plays across platforms, so you can sit at school on your PC or Mac and battle your friend on his iPhone on the bus. Tired of the 10+ maps that ship with the game? Simply download some new ones!

Welcome to the world of nasty green monster balls!

"Almost to much fun!
Yes, thats right! This game is almost to much fun. Im NOT an avid gamer, but this one is a complete blast to play. If you are not savvy at the turn based games, dont fear! You will understand this one. I havent put it down in hours."

"I Love It!
Monster Ball is a fun gaming experience for the young and old alike. The graphics and sound effects are just awesome and the concept is a really unique (and much more interesting) take on chess. Give it a go-- whats not to love about monsters eating each other?!"

"5 stars for the great concept and ingame graphics!"

Pros and cons of Monster Ball app for iPhone and iPad

Monster Ball app good for

Been waiting for this one for a long time! Graphics and music are top notch, buy now before the price goes up!

This is one of the many I have been waiting for and I can tell you it is every bit as amazing as I hoped. The graphics are one thing, but the fact that they captured the feel of the bedroom as seen in the screenshots, is just amazing. I would love to see more themes as well, like maybe night time in an office, factory, department store, etc. Implementing weather like rain, thunder and lightning (where the lightning could reflect off the floor through the window). Maybe even a setting during sunset with the sun glaring in. I would also love if the camera could go 360 degrees around and could pan low enough to the floor to see the walls and ceiling. These are my personal nitpicks and are things that could easily be implemented in an update or two. I would never detract any stars from the score, however for these things. Full Control did an amazing job with this game and I just hope that they find all the support and success they need to keep feeding this game updates!

The graphics and the music are the first things that attracted me to this game. The gameplay is straight forward and fun to play. The graphics are sharp and detailed and the music for the game really ties in well to make a great game. BUY this game, you will not regret it!

Really fun and not hard to play at all. The graphics are also good.

Fantastic! The Absolute BEST game since Tempest! Controls are Great! (dont listen to review #1) I would pay much more for a quality game like this. Graphics are great. Get the full version Sandy you wont be sorry!

I can always count on Monsterball to offer well rounded entertainment. Other games, once you beat them, theyve lost value. Monster Ball makes me smile everytime. I do hope that the devs continue to develop more quality games like this, or even expand the depth of MB. Great job on concept, art, and music. This one has a permanent spot on my phone.

Some bad moments

This one caught me by surprise. It is really fun and unique game play. The "thinking" is a bit slow but the downloadable levels and the basic game play are great. I hope they add more contraptions in the future to keep it interesting and obviously more levels as I mastered the current ones and the downloadable ones in a day.

The controls dont work very well. Also, it spends a lot of time thinking. It isnt a very creative game to begin with. Not worth even getting for free.

The latest version gets stuck "thinking" half way through the game and never finishes "thinking". This Version stinks.
