How to Play the Game
In Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, you get to play as one of three main monsters: Ickis, Oblina, or Krumm. Your goal is to explore different places. You need to collect special items and scare certain people. Your teacher, the Gromble, tells you who to scare.
Exploring the Monster World
You start your adventure in the sewers. Then, you move up to levels in the human world. The game has 25 main levels. There are also 5 extra bonus sections to discover.
Monster Abilities
You can switch between Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm whenever you want. Each monster has a special power. These powers help you solve puzzles and get past tricky spots:
- Ickis can fly for a short time.
- Oblina can reach high ledges.
- Krumm can look at areas off-screen.
The monsters can also work together. For example, they can stack on top of each other. This helps them reach items that are usually too high.
Fighting and Scaring
Your main weapon is trash! You can throw garbage at enemies. If you collect garbage sacks and fish bones, you get stronger ammo. This lets you throw three pieces of trash at once.
Collecting "Monster Manuals" lets you perform a special "scare." This scare makes all enemies on the screen run away in fear. It can also take away health from a boss. Each monster has a unique scare:
- Ickis grows to a giant size.
- Krumm lets out a loud roar, showing his fangs and three tongues.
- Oblina changes into a much scarier form.
Game Goals
The main goal is to finish all the levels. You also need to find all the items. This helps you pass your monster exam. At the end of the last level, you face a boss. Often, this final boss is Simon the Monster Hunter. He is the monsters' biggest enemy.
Between each level, the Gromble appears. He stands next to a projector and shows the name of the next level. You can even control some of his actions at this point. The game also has small voice clips. These might be from the TV show. The Gromble speaks at the projector. The monsters speak when they scare or when they get hit.
Game Story
To finish Monster Academy, three young monsters, Ickis, Oblina, and Krumm, must pass their Monster Midterm Exam. For this test, their headmaster, the Gromble, tells them to scare a number of people. If they succeed, they will pass the exam.
