Monsters and Me

A catastrophic slime-ocalypse just turned your city into a buffet for the undead—and guess what? You're the main course… …but don't panic! (Actually, panic a little. Okay, that's just the right amount.) Grab your best bud (or go full lone-wolf mode) and dive head-first into Monsters and Me—a relentless, round-based, top-down arcade shooter where everything wants to eat your face.

  • Zombies? LOL. Try Slime Mutant Rage Freaks: After a citywide sludge explosion, the locals are looking… extra crispy. Good luck!
  • 18 Upgradable Weapons: Shotguns, rifles, flamethrowers, and more. Each has 3 upgrade levels. That's math, baby.
  • 12 Special Abilities: Each one with 3 upgrade levels, designed to wreck the mutant hordes.
  • Five Perks to Power You Up: Want faster reloads? Bigger booms? Less dying? We got you.
  • Four Playable Characters: Play as Brian, Bob, Nina, or Tony—each with their own vibe and catchphrases. (Spoiler: One of them says "DUDE" a lot.)
  • Randomized Waves, Power-Ups & Weapons: Every run is a glorious mess. No two games are the same. That's what we call replayability (also: chaos).
  • Comedic Cutscenes & Memeable Moments: Streamer bait? You bet your slime-covered socks. This one's for the clippers.
  • Fluid Controls + Pixel Art Carnage: Old-school arcade vibes with modern spice. All the charm, none of the jank.
