Here's the game in action:
There's a choice of controls, but they're simple enough for anyone of any age to get to grips with...
Although a 2D platformer, everything's rendered in a 3D fashion and the colours, shading and details are all first class...
Different levels, themes and looks, different terrain, different baddies....
The pseudo-3D is used here to provide action 'in the background', then it all gets larger again when your character is teleported back to the foreground....
The in-game currency is essentially for dressing up your character.... And no, there's no way that I can see to buy coins with real world currency, so you haven't got to worry about your kids hitting that 'by mistake'....
Explaining the currency build up - the gameplay is nicely pitched after outings on other mobile platforms....
Terrific stuff at every turn and possibly the best gaming value in the Windows Phone Store right now. Grab it while you can.
You can buy Paper Monsters here in the Windows Phone Store for a mere 79p (in the UK), apparently '50% off for a limited time to celebrate our release on Windows Phone'...
