This is the second game from Wombi in their new series of educational monster games. The first one was The Letter Monster which dealt with learning the ABC’s. This next one is about numbers and it’s called The Number Monster. Like The Letter Monster, The Number Monster has you feeding a crazy looking monster with 3 eyes. I’m not sure what the theme of the monster is, but it looks like some crazy scientist looking thing. Like the other game, it will call out numbers. Just feed it the corresponding fruit with the right number on it.

Like the other games in the series, The Number Monster is a really simple game. When the number monster calls out a number, it will be shown on its head. Just look for the corresponding “fruit” with the number on it and feed it to the monster. If you’re correct, it will call out another number. If you’re wrong, it will spit that number out and you must try again. That’s all there is to it.

The graphics in this one are just as good but not quite as bright. It has a slightly darker feel to it. The audio is just as good however with a lively, upbeat voice actor that children should enjoy.

The Number Monster is a great educational app for children. It’s for younger children just learning about their numbers and like the other monster apps, it is very repetitive which is good for children since they learn through repetition.
