About Monster vs Zombie
Monster vs Zombie is a sliding puzzle with an appetite. You control a monster on a grid. Zombies stand around the level, and the monster would like to eat all of them. Once it has, a gate opens to the next level.
The twist is in how the monster moves. Pick a direction and it slides that way without stopping until it hits a wall or an obstacle. You cannot stop halfway or take a single step. Every move is all or nothing, and the only way to line up with a particular zombie is to use the walls to park the monster in the right row or column first.
This makes each level a neat exercise in planning. Obstacles are both a hindrance and a tool, since they are the only things that let you stop where you need to. It is tagged as a relaxing logic game, and the satisfaction comes from finding the sequence of slides that clears a level. It is designed for a computer.
How to play Monster vs Zombie

Tips and tricks
- Work out where the monster will stop before you slide, not after.
- To reach a zombie in the middle of a row, first find a wall that will stop you in that row.
- Plan the order. Eating zombies in the wrong sequence can leave the last one unreachable.
- Think of each obstacle as a brake. The puzzle is usually solved by choosing the right brakes.
