MONSTA
is a turn based game, so every action you make, either you
budge or you take a shoot, takes one move. After you play
all your moves, monsters will play their number of moves.
When they finish playing, you are on the move again and so
on.
To control our hero, Joe, you can use either hard buttons
on your palm device either stylus, either both hard buttons
and stylus at the same type.

Simple
isn't it?!
In
the corners of the screen you can see a little display showing
up. This displays shows up when it's your turn to play. It will
be always shown in the most distant corner from Joe, thus leaving
enough space for the playfield. It has two battens, one with
red squares representing your energy and one with yellow squares
representing your number of moves left. When you finish your
round, corner display will disappear until your turn comes again.
If you press an information button (default: date book button)
Joe will tell you his number of lives and his fatality, or in
other words, amount of energy which will be taken from monster
when Joe shoot him.
You can check amount of energy and number of moves of every
monster by tapping on monster. When tap on some monster you'll
see his energy represenret by small red squares and his number
of moves represented by small yellow squares.
