A single-screen platformer where Monster must collect all the coins in a level, then all the large coins to clear it. Monster can breathe purple gas that kills most enemies, except for red ones (red snakes are invincible, red bees will change direction). A game notable for its all-original graphics, with every character boasting expressive hand-drawn animations.

The game has a glitch on the first stage of the final world, where it will not spawn the final three large coins. This is because an extra small and large coin are sitting out of bounds and not culled by the game; I had to delete those for the stage to play out properly.
The first and final worlds were recorded in the KNP version, and the rest recorded using the TGF version. The controls and behaviours vary slightly different between them due to the quirks of the programs. The TGF version also outright crashes when trying to fix the aforementioned glitch, since it has extraneous code that will break the game when removed, seemingly a conversion error from how Klik & Play handles things.
