MonsterBag is a colourful, madcap game of monster teleportation heading exclusively to PS Vita
I don't know what's going on but I like it
There's a cartoon eccentricity alive in Iguana Bee's MonsterBag that is only otherwise seen in HoneySlug's games: Frobisher Says and Hohokum, especially.
If you watch MonsterBag's trailer below (and you really should), then you'll probably come out the end of it confused but charmed. It's a madcap game that lets eccentricity run wild.
The game that the trailer makes impossible to discern is a puzzle platformer, believe it or not.
You play as the little blue monster called V as he tries to reunite with the runaway Nia - the young girl. The problem with being a monster in public is that people will squash you at first sight.
And so, what you must do is work out how to sneak past each person between you and Nia. This involves studying their behaviour and using V's teleportation ability at the right time.
That much makes some sense. But as the trailer shows, it seems that some enormous, action-packed war between monsters (aliens?) and humans erups at some point in the game.
It's then that the pace is quickened and people start getting gored. Luckily, MonsterBag's cartoon charm steps into make even these deathly moments entertaining rather than grim.
MonsterBag will be out exclusively for PS Vita this summer. It's definitely one to keep an eye on.
