Players can compete over the internet, or on two networked computers.
In Monster Pile, players compete to remove all of the monsters from their playfield before their opponent does. Players move around the playfield picking up monsters and moving them about so that they can be lined up with colorful bombs and blown up. Monster Pile can also be played in the solo Round Game where a single player, or two players working as a team, race against time and the lowering ceiling to survive as many rounds as they can. The rounds get harder as you progress, so it's a great way to sharpen your competition skills. If you've played Push-Push and liked it, then this game is for you.
