Build Monsters and Fight Your Friends in Fat Mask

The idea is simple: create combos that earn the player points, and bigger combinations mean more points that can be earned.

The idea is simple: create combos that earn the player points, and bigger combinations mean more points that can be earned. However, Fat Mask adds a twist to this idea: Any opponent can claim a player’s combination by adding on a new matching part. Local multiplayer adds an element of chaotic fun to this action-puzzler game.

In Fat Mask , players create monster combos by piecing together matching parts. The monsters have a timer before they combine into the fully grown monster; the bigger they are before the timer runs out, the more points that the player can earn. When the timer is still running, other players can add matching parts to the monster to try to steal the combination and earn the points, instead. To immediately earn the points, the player can place a block next to the target block to end the timer.

Each monster has its own unique property that changes how players can interact with the environment. Use a Green Monster to jump higher, while a Red Monster will make it harder to move; players can use the monsters to their advantage against other players, and power-ups – shot out by the larger monsters – can be used to disrupt different combos.

Fat Mask offers multiple game modes include competitive, time attack solo mode, arcade co-op, and a team battle. There are both single- and multiplayer challenges that help the player unlock new content to use in the game.
