Planet Monsters is a Puzzle game, developed by Planet Interactive and published by Titus Software, which was released in 2001.

In this quirky, fast-paced game that combines elements of combat and puzzle solving, your mission is to be the last monster standing by utilizing the game's weaponry--including magic wands, guns, balls, and blocks--against the opposition. There are 40 levels across eight universes, eight planet monsters from which to choose, and link cable support for four players.

Planet Monsters is an old-skool arcade game that blends puzzling and combat. You battle to wipe out three other monsters while running round the mazelike levels, squashing them with blocks, blowing them up with bombs, etc. But watch out--they're trying to do the same to you, and if you get squashed you'll have to start the level all over again. There are a bunch of other fatal enemies waddling round too, plus a variety of power-ups to help you on your mission. Each of the eight game worlds has five levels and a boss.
The graphics and sound are cute but nothing special. Once you get the hang of it, the gameplay is fun, but though it does evolve as you progress, experienced gamers might find themselves getting a little bored after a few levels and will probably complete it pretty quickly. But there's a multiplayer mode which lets up to four players battle via a with just the one game cartridge, and this will probably provide much more long term fun than the single-player game. --Rikki Price -- Amazon.co.uk
