Gameplay
The gameplay is to breed special singing monsters. The aim of the game is to create your own orchestra of singing, playing and dancing monsters. The more singing monsters a player has, the more he earns. Monsters, which can be bought for game diamonds or brought out by crossing, gradually populate several islands: Plant, Cold, Air, Water, Gold, Ethereal and others.
The game contains jewelry, special buildings and in-game currency: coins and diamonds, for which you can buy things in the store.
Islands
Each island has a unique melody in the rhythm of which the monsters who live and work there sing, play and dance. If you look at the outer side of the island, you can see the face of a giant sleeping monster, on whose head is the playing space. When a player first gets access to the island, he is covered with trees and stones that must be cleaned in order to make room for monsters and decorations. To remove trees and stones, you need to spend a certain amount of game coins. To move between the islands, a card is used that is automatically activated when you buy Cold Island (in new versions it is given immediately) At the same time, the player gets access to the Golden and Eterial Islands.
Monsters
The game has about 127 monsters, each of which makes a unique sound. Of these, 37 monsters are natural (ordinary), and the rest are legendary, ethereal, supernatural or holiday monsters, which you can collect, mute and turn off their sound in order to create songs. According to the Big Blue Bubble, there are over 30 regular monsters and many varieties of special monsters. In addition, many monsters have rare and epic doubles.
Jewelry
Jewelry in the game is represented by decorative objects that can be installed on the islands, before that, they must be purchased in the Market for in-game currency: Coins, Diamonds or Starry. But fortunately, the decorations in the game are not exclusively decorative. Each monster has its own list of “Attractions” - scenery, including monsters, each unit of which increases the rate of currency production by 25%. The maximum limit of a monster’s happiness is 100%, that is, four units of an item / monster, it is worth noting that putting the same scenery does not increase the monster’s happiness. Ornaments are divided into several classifications, the main ones: obstacles, paths and objects. Objects are the usual type of scenery, they take their place on the island, there are special, sounding objects that emit their own unique sound when you click on them in the view mode. Paths — paths differ from objects in that they have their own separate layer, not adjacent to the layer where the monsters and objects are placed, on each island the paths outwardly differ depending on the theme of the island and have their own description. Obstacles - the very ones that are removed on the islands for currency, now they can be purchased in the Market for diamonds as the most common decorations. Jewelry from "Star Trek" purchased for Stars, most often have their own animation, which is why they are unique. Seasonal decorations are available only at certain intervals, depending on the holiday date.
