Looking for a quick arcade game? Sweet Monsters runs in the browser and needs no download. The core of it is parkour & running and math. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Sweet Monsters
Sweet Monsters is a 2D endless parkour game. You will have to use your skills to avoid obstacles and eat candy. You don't have to run as far as possible, but the more you eat the better, creating higher numbers of combos will get higher reward. With increasing difficulty, there will be more varied and complex barriers to pass through!
How to play Sweet Monsters
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

Why it is worth playing
