The game is listed on the App Store and runs on iPhone and iPad. Players control Jin, a character who uses a sword and can transform into multiple monster forms to progress through levels.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iOS release includes the title\u2019s hand-drawn stages and platforming mechanics. Monster forms alter movement and combat options; players use specific transformations to solve platforming puzzles, reach new areas and defeat enemies as they advance through the Monster World Kingdom.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryuichi Nishizawa led development of the game. He co-founded Westone Bit Entertainment and worked on the Wonder Boy series before developing Monster Boy as a personal project. The game uses detailed 2D artwork and modern production techniques.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Controls have been adapted for touch screens while retaining jump-and-run mechanics and the mix of melee combat and form-based abilities. The App Store listing indicates the mobile edition contains the full game content found on other platforms.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Priced at $24.99, the iOS edition is higher than most free-to-play and lower-priced mobile titles. The price places the game in a premium segment on the App Store and could affect impulse purchases.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iOS launch makes the title available on mobile devices in addition to its prior platforms, with the App Store serving as the point of sale for the mobile edition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom has
