Mobile games do innovate: Angry Birds vets mix cards and platforming

By looking at the mobile game market, we can surmise three things: People love collecting cards, they love auto-running platformers, and they love games from Finland. Well, developer Boomlagoon’s latest delivers on all three of those things.

The Helsinki-based studio released Monsu today on the iOS App Store for iPhone and iPad. The free-to-play card-collecting platformer features colorful cartoon visuals and tap-only controls, similar to other apps in the genre. As you progress through the game, you go from spooky forests to eerie caves as your monster character slowly collects more cards that make him better at tackling challenging levels.
