We wished we didn’t have to make another icon for a MonsterUp with the “Denied” stamp, but I guess we can’t always get our wish. MonsterUp Adventures is the best game we’ve made so far, and it has received a couple of headlines before its launch, due in a few days. It has already received its first award, winning first prize in a Microsoft-Nokia competition, but the new headline is not as good. We have been trying to get the game the Xbox Live status for a few weeks now, but the result is unfortunately not the one we wanted.
We are very happy with how the game turned out, and we hope you will agree with us when you get the change to play it. We really don’t know what are the criteria by which Microsoft Studios chooses the games to include in their portfolio, since we feel that many of the current games in this portfolio are much worse than MonsterUp Adventures in so many departments, including the all too important gameplay factor. MonsterUp Adventures is super smooth and plays like a dream, includes lots of content, amazing special powers for the little monsters you know and love, awesome graphics and animation by illustrator Ilias Sounas and an original soundtrack (including an unlockable ringtone) by composer Marietta Fafouti. The game has a story and many many different levels to unlock.
If you feel like we do, please let Microsoft know by dropping them a line at wpgames@microsoft.com. Maybe public demand will make them change their mind! Tell you friends and support Indie game developers for Windows Phone.
Trust us, if you liked MonsterUp, you will LOVE MonsterUp Adventures.
MonsterUp Adventures is the upcoming sequel to out monster hit game forWindows Phone, MonsterUp. It is very close to being released, and the beta program will start some time next week. We are really confident that the game will also be a huge hit with MonsterUp fans and new users alike, and it seems like more people agree with us.
Today, MonsterUp Adventures won first place in Athens, Greece during a Microsoft-Nokia app competition(in Greek here) at Colab Workspace and the game is not even released yet.
The game will feature all the characters you know and love from MonsterUp, but they will have all new special powers that change the way you think about the game every time. The game feature a funny story mode where the lovely monsters try to save their beloved Trelloland from the evil wizard
Skotos, who threaten to cover the island in total darkness.
Expect amazing visuals from Ilias Sounas (www.sounasdesign.com), an original amazing soundtrack from composer Marietta Fafouti(www.mariettafafouti.com), boss fights, achievements, online scoreboards, many many unique levels and so much more.
After a lovely evening at the Marriott Hotel in Zurich, Switzerland, we are proud to say that we are going home with the Best Game App award for MonsterUp.
