Apple Arcade review #53: Monomals
Here’s another bright, colourful, cartoony game with a rabbit. This rabbit’s name is “Retro Rabbit”. There’s also a frog (“Funky Frog”) and a tiger (“Techno Tiger”, of course) but I’ve only played the rabbit.
The game mechanic is an odd mix between Ridiculous Fishing and Super Mole Escape (both ancient iOS games), with a dance music theme. It’s not as good as either of those games.
It is very polished, very animated, very colourful and very noisy…to the point where it honestly feels a bit soulless. This is definitely a thoroughly market-tested product.
Monomals is honestly a bit too flashy and noisy for me. I’m not the target audience; it’s designed to be eye-(and ear-)catching, but ends up feeling a bit overwhelming.
