Monomals is a unique fusion of arcade fishing, platforming, and music composition. As a big-shot DJ, you use your MonoSub and a plug-ended fishing line to navigate dangerous underwater environments. Once you hook a Monomal, the game transforms into a deep music creation suite where you can use your catches to compose original loops and songs. Compete in global leaderboards and share your sonic masterpieces with a vibrant community of fellow creators.

Our Expert Score
Monomals is honestly one of the most creative hidden gems on the App Store. It’s effectively two games in one: a polished, physics-based platformer and a surprisingly deep DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). The 'fishing' part is challenging enough to be engaging, with some levels requiring genuine precision to dodge obstacles while hunting down elusive Monomals.
But the real magic happens in the studio. Seeing the creatures you just caught turn into drum loops or synth leads is incredibly satisfying. I’ve spent hours just tweaking tracks to try and climb the global charts. It’s colorful, charming, and sounds absolutely fantastic. If you have any interest in music or creative games, this is a mandatory download.

Tips & Walkthrough
To catch the best Monomals, you need to navigate tight corners and avoid sea urchins. Use the boost sparingly to dash through currents, and always look for hidden 'gold coins' that unlock advanced synthesizer sounds for your studio.
Gameplays
Gameplay is split between the 'Catch' phase and the 'Compose' phase. In the Catch phase, you control a plug that acts as a platforming character. In the Compose phase, you use the 'MonoMaker' to arrange your caught Monomals into professional-sounding tracks.
Q&A
Not at all! The MonoMaker is designed to be intuitive for beginners while offering depth for experienced musicians.
