This first release is completely free and includes 5 carefully designed levels to give your thumbs a workout (or pinkies if you are a rockstar). There are currently 2 different monsters for this release and more to come in the near future as the evil monster alien ships are landing as speak!

Monsters with text labels will appear on the far right and make its way across the screen to the left. Use the keyboard to type the text found on each monster to destroy it before it wreaks havoc. A variety of monsters will attempt to use its arsenal of tricks to sneak by you. Zap them quickly to send them back into space. The earlier you laser them the more points you receive.

Your little guy Cyclo has a 100 point life bar when you start the game. Each time a monster sneaks by him it costs Cyclo some of his life. Starting from version 1.1 you will no longer have to restart the level, but instead of 3 hearts, you now have one life bar. Guard the left side of the screen tightly! After Cyclo loses all of his life bar, the game is over. However you can start a new game from the most advanced level you reached.

A few of our spies were able to infiltrate the enemy base. Here is the intel we were able to gather through their hard work. Unfortunately some of them were not able to make it back safely...

The Flies

These little buggers are generally harmless when they are by themselves. They can only hold one character at a time. But be warned, when they fly in giant swarms, it can get difficult to bat them down in time. They can carry lower case letters, upper case letters, numbers and symbols. They flight straight across the screen at a steady speed. There have been rumors that there are "super" flies that can fly at an incredible speed, but the encounters with them are rare.

Crawlers

These four legged monsters move at a fairly slow pace, taking giant steps however. They hold words that can range in size, but typically words with four or more characters are found on these giant walkers. They are often found with the Flies as their air support.

Grounders

This new breed of monster is going to be very tough to deal with. Like the Flies it carries a single letter, number or symbol at a time. It traverses the ground, sliding along until it feels threatened. When threatened, it burrows into the ground, rendering it completely immune to your lasers!

Peacocks

These monsters are cousins of the Flies. They are also single letter, number or symbol carriers. However, they fly in a wave pattern, which generally does not cause a problem until you have a group of them intertwining, making the labels more difficult to spot.

UFOs

These flying saucers carry whole words as they fly across your screen. When they enter hover mode as they remain stationary, they put up their force shields, rendering them invincible to any of your attacks. When the force shields are up, they become semi-transparent. Attack them while they are moving!

Rollers

These monsters look like bumpy wheels with an eye. They move by rolling on their sides, making their single letter, number or symbol difficult to read as they rotate. If you are not sure what the orientation of the label should be, use the eye as a marker. The eye appears on the top of the letter, number or symbol always.

Fish Rockets

These giant fish-looking rockets carry fairly long words. The difficulty in destroying these monsters lies with the fact that they accelerate as they move across the screen. Be sure to get rid of them early before they pickup too much steam to zip right by you.

Hopefully we will be able to gather more intelligence on new and unknown monsters soon! We do not have a whole lot of volunteers for this reconnaisance mission...

I can't see the text labels on some of the monsters. They are covered by another monster!

Simply touch the hidden monster to bring them to the front, but sometimes you are better off getting rid of the monster in front as soon as possible!
I typed the letter "d" (or some other letter) but it's not attacking the monster!

Some of the monsters are upper case letters, so you will need to hit the shift key to attack those monsters. For instance, you may see "D" on a monster. You will have to hit the shift key and then hit the "d" key. Also note that the upper case "o" as in "open" can be similar to the number zero "0", but they are slightly different in shape.
Help, my game is crashing a lot!

There is a known issue when a memory warning call is sent from the iPhone to the game found in Monster Typer FREE version 1.00. The crash has been address in version 1.1. The paid app Monster Typer does not have this issue since it was released after the fix.
