Monster House

The mansion of Old Man Nebbercracker is devouring everything, and everyone who comes near it, and Halloween is just around the corner! So take your water blaster, summon your bravery, and prepare to explore the Monster HouseTM to discover its mysteries. Monster House is a retro shoot-up based on Columbia Pictures’ animated film. You explore the house room by room, using your touch-screen-operated water pistol to beat off waves of foes (assorted household objects) coming from every direction. You may also collect other power-ups along the route. You can take over the roles of the film’s three main characters: DJ, Chowder, and Jenny.
