Monsterz - arcade puzzle game

Latest version: 0.7.1 (17 Dec 2007)

Monsterz is a little arcade puzzle game, similar to the famous Bejeweled or Zookeeper.

The only allowed move is the swap of two adjacent monsters, on the condition that it creates a row of three or more.

Monsterz is completely free software, available under the terms of the WTFPL. It was written by the following people:
