Monster Dash Cheats, Tips & Hack for Coins & Gems

Joining Jetpack Joyride and Age of Zombies, comes a new installment in the famed Barry Steakfries trilogy. Run through six hectic scenes whilst shooting like a madman at swarms of monsters. Barry Steakfries is a man who takes two pleasures in life; killing monsters and running like crazy, at least that is the impression he gives off in new game Monster Dash.

After the soaring popularity of Halfbrick’s Fruit Ninja, they needed to offer their fans something equally as exciting, heart racing frantically and all.

Monster Dash is a randomly generated survival type platformer game. Barry Steakfries runs straight for as long as he can, where you’re going doesn’t matter, the monsters that you take out are what truly count in this game. Barry starts off the game with a default shotgun, which doesn’t really have much range to it however; there are multiple opportunities to gather brand new weaponry along the way. In weapon crates, you will have the chance to find weapons such as a six shooter, machine guns and even the possibility of a machine gun jetpack.

You control Barry Steakfries with merely two actions; jump and shoot, these two actions are your biggest friends in this game, do you want to jump on the monsters heads or would you just rather go for a ranged shooting? It’s up to you to decide, but you have to decide quickly.

At the top of your screen will be a few little hearts, which represents Barry’s life force. If you do find yourself losing hearts, there are many opportunities to regain them as you run through the level. Bumping into an enemy or accidently landing on spikes will make you lose health points, if you completely run out of HP or end up falling to your death, the run is over and you will be scored on how long you have lasted for and how many enemies you have killed. Your overall score is then submitted to OpenFeint, the online leaderboard, and you’re able to start all over again.

On various runs you will find yourself running through portals of some kind and ending up in completely different settings; from a post-apocalyptic, dead world filled with zombies, to an Egyptian land filled with pyramids and mummies.
By playing over and over again, you have the chance to gain a variety of OpenFeint achievements whilst having all of your statistics kept track of, such as; the overall distance you have ran throughout all of your runs, all of the monsters you have taken out and a diverse collection of many others. These statistics can also help contribute to your place on the leaderboards.

The game regularly costs ninety nine cents, however it is currently the free app of the week. It also offers in app purchases in the form of Gem packs which cost between $1.99 and $8.99.

Monster Dash Review

One of the few things I did like about this game was the fact that there were only two controls that were very simple, making controlling Barry almost instinctual. Monster Dash also has very retro style graphics which really gives it a throwback feel to arcade machine type games. Overall, it is a fun game at times, which can seriously get you incredibly panicked as you try to keep up with the ever increasing pace of the game.

Honestly, I don’t think I really liked a whole lot about the game, at times, the pace of the game gets fast very quickly, so on your first try, where you still don’t quite know what you’re doing, you end up dying within the first ten seconds. You’re told you get a certain amount of coins, however, you have to physically run into the coins, but they have a tendency to bounce and fall off the edge of the building which makes gathering enough coins very difficult. I also really don’t like the fact that there really isn’t a tutorial on how to play the game, so you’re just thrown into a rooftop endless run with a mere two instructions, tap one side of your screen to jump, tap one side to shoot, I really felt like that wasn’t enough at all for me and just really made me have a hard time playing and enjoying the game.

At first, your game options are severely limited to the point where all you can do is play a classic dash and check the settings, you can’t even get access to the in app purchase menu, there also is small padlock over five more blanked out options which still doesn’t unlock after several games, so I am really failing to see the point of this game, it’s overly difficult and just a waste of time in my opinion. It feels like Halfbrick is just trying to get in on the flappy bird type games, sadly they fail at making a hit after the immense success of Fruit Ninja.

Ratings:

Artwork: I give Monster Dash an 8/10 for its artwork. The artwork is definitely cute in a retro way, all characters are pixel art sprites, which is an art style that isn’t used often enough in my opinion. The different run locations are also nicely done as they really give you a sense of the place and time you’re landed in when jumping through the portal.

Music and SFX: I give the game an 8/10 for its music and SFX. The sound effects in this game are very appropriate considering the type of game, they are also quite funny. The music is definitely one of the few things that make this app stand out for me; it fits perfectly and seems to change slightly with the pace of the game.

Story and Originality: I give the game a 4/10 for its story and originality. Since you’re just thrown into the game straight away, you really don’t get much of a sense of a story in the game, nor do you really see your actions leading up to anything, the lack of actual aim dissuades me from playing. You get a sense of a flappy bird type game in Monster Dash which makes me think that Halfbrick is just trying to create the next flappy bird, despite general differences, the concept is still the same; you have to move around at a quick pace whilst trying to avoid obstacles.

General Gameplay: I give the game a 5/10 for its general gameplay. The gameplay itself is easy and simple enough to get the hang of quickly. However, the pace increases far too quickly for my liking, making it near impossible to last long in the game, something like this really distracts from the flow of the game, making it hard to really play for very long.

Addictiveness: I give the game a 6/10 for its addictiveness. I imagine that I would have gotten a whole lot more addicted if I hadn’t been made so furious at the end of every fifteen second attempt at the game. It seems like it could become a very addictive game, if Halfbrick made changes regarding the speed, losing coins and the amount of enemies at ones, I could definitely see myself developing an addiction to the game.

Overall I rate Monster Dash 6/10.
