Munch Monster

A big, fuzzy, googly-eyed monster floats on its cloud with its mouth wide open. A speech bubble tells you how many treats it wants: a big number and that many dots. Tap and a cookie pops out of the jar, sails up and, gulp, in it goes. Every gulp plays a note up a little scale and fills one dot in the bubble, so counting to ten sounds like a song. Feed exactly what the bubble says and the monster puffs up, burps a cloud of sparkles, hearts and confetti, and dances.

The monster starts still and easy. Soon it bobs, slides and floats around, but every treat you throw curves toward a hungry mouth, so a little timing is all it takes. Later two monsters want different amounts, a picky one only eats star cookies, and some orders mix two foods, like cookies and stars or apples and bananas. Then come fruit and veggies, carrots and broccoli, in an orchard and a garden. Too many, or the wrong food? The monster spits it back with a funny "ptooey" and you just try again.

Every fifth level is a party with a bigger burp, confetti and a new hat for the monster. 75 gentle levels, with no timers, no lives and no game over. Nothing needs reading but the numbers, and every food has its own shape, so color-blind players can join in too.
