Whack-A-Monster strips incremental gaming down to its satisfying core: repeatedly striking monsters to generate resources, then investing those gains into a skill tree and new weapons that amplify your destruction. The straightforward feedback loop of hitting harder and faster appeals to players seeking the meditative rhythm of idle progression without narrative complexity.

It's fine. It's about a 3 hour game. I think that's important context when considering the price.

It's a nice little game, but honestly, if you've played the demo, you've pretty much seen everything.

Sure, there are more maps and more items/weapons, but the gameplay never really changes.

You run each map 2–3 times until you kill the boss, farm it for a while, then move on to the next map and repeat.

The biggest issue is that your demo progress carries over to the full release. That means if you already completed the demo, there's barely 2 hours of content left to reach 100%.

Not sure that was the best decision, but here we are.

If that's your kind of game, go for it. Personally, I can't justify the price for only about 2 hours of new content.

Gameplay loop is so well polish that you'll happily sink your teeth into it like any really good action RPG.
A must have if you enjoy incremental and or meta progression based experience.
NB: the shear amount of customization is really rare and neat for an incremental game.

Latest updates

Whack-A-Monster 1.1 - The Ascension Update

3 days ago
Hey everyone! Whack-A-Monsters first Major Update has just released! Trailer We promised in our earlier news post to tell a bit more about the prestige system we cooked up. Ascension After defeating the Dragon King in level 7 you will be able to Ascend Ascending grants permanent buffs to Damage, Health, XP Gain and All Coin value. More importantly it grants access to THE PANTHEON! The Pantheon The Pantheon is a second skill tree or rather multiple skill trees you unlock after ascending for the first time. You can gain godly powers here tied to specific mechanics. Every time you ascend you gain access to another tree and every boss kill will grant you more boss souls to spend in these trees. 2 New Levels Now you will need something to test your new powers against so we have made 2 New Levels The Frozen Plains The Infernal Expanse Both levels have new enemies and 2 new bosses that in our opinion are the coolest we've made so far! Enjoy the update everyone! Brainfog Games.
