Игра "Avoid The Monsters" - это простой, но затягивающий тайм-киллер. Идея крайне проста: избегать монстров, появляющихся на экране, пока работает таймер. Управление интуитивно понятное, и быстро осваиваешься. С каждым новым уровнем монстры появляются быстрее и их становится больше, что требует хорошей реакции и концентрации. Графика довольно минималистична, но она вполне соответствует геймплею и не отвлекает от основной задачи. Звуковое сопровождение незамысловатое, но эффективно создает напряжение, особенно когда время на исходе и экран кишит монстрами. Несмотря на простоту, игра обладает неплохой реиграбельностью. Хочется побить свой предыдущий рекорд и продержаться как можно дольше. "Avoid The Monsters" идеально подходит для коротких игровых сессий, когда нужно скоротать время. Игра не претендует на звание шедевра, но выполняет свою задачу - развлекает и заставляет немного попотеть, уворачиваясь от назойливых монстров. Рекомендую попробовать всем, кто ценит простые и динамичные аркады.
