Monster Catcher by Monte Boyd
UPDATE 19 FEB 2021: Monster Catcher v1.3 is out now! This version includes 3 new power ups, cutscenes, and a very sneaky new monster!
UPDATE 6 FEB 2021: Now includes a single load .prg file! Highscore saving may not work in this version, but still works in the .d64 version. Thanks to MOS 8502 for helping me get the single load version across the line.
UPDATE: Monster Catcher v1.2 is out! Improved controls and some bug fixes.
Monster Catcher is a fast action, single player game for the Commodore 64! If you like Rodland, Bubble Bobble, and a little bit of Smash TV then you’ll love Monster Catcher!
Monsters have invaded, and the bunnies are in trouble! Grab your magic wand and use your capture spell to save the day! But careful you don’t trap a bunny by mistake!
