Description
From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.
Thank you for playing Monster Go!
Monster Go is an endless runner game consisting of a cute monster swerving left and right to avoid the dangerous monsters from harming it while collecting gems.
As the monster, you must get as many gems in a row as possible to increase your score while carefully avoiding the bombs, ponds, and monsters wishing finish you and your cuteness.
Find you inner monster but make sure its sheer addictiveness doesn't consume you.
This addicting game can be tough but with a bit of practice, you'll get a hang of it in no time at all.
How to Play:
Tilt your device to move your monster left or right as it runs through the environment. Your goal is to collect as many gems as you can to get the highest score before losing both hearts. Avoid enemies and other obstacles to last as long as you can each round.
You can tap the screen at any moment to pause the game. The pause screen will also show you the items you've unlocked so far.
Gems
Collect these to increase your score. If you collect them sequentially (try your best not to miss any!), you'll get significantly more points (also known as a "gem combo", or just "gembo").
Stars
Stars (or equivalent themed items) give you points, but don't give any bonus points for collecting them sequentially (combos). Rather, stars are worth more depending on how long you've lasted in the round.
Items
Items are unlocked when you reach specific score thresholds (10k, 20k, 50k, 70k). When you pick them up during a game, they provide a score bonus as well as an effect that will help you last longer in the round. Items unlocked in easy mode do not show up in medium or hard mode.
Checkpoints
Last long enough and you'll cross a checkpoint. You'll earn 3,000 points every time you cross a checkpoint, and even more starting on your fifth checkpoint in a single round. Your monster will run faster every time you cross a checkpoint (making the game harder) so earn as many points as you can before reaching them!
Things to Avoid
Avoid all of the following enemies and obstacles (as well as equivalent themed objects):
Flying Bunnies
These enemies move towards you and will cost a heart if you they manage to touch you. These little guys will be the source of most of your monster frustration.
Bombs
If you touch a bomb, whether it was intentional or on accident, you lose both of your hearts and the game is over. The only exception is if you pick up the Invincibility or Destroy On Contact items and their effects are still active. In easy mode, you lose only one heart.
Sand Pits
Running over these will cost you a heart. Note that when you pick up the Destroy On Contact item, this is the only obstacle that can still deal you damage.
Big Fat Cyclops
Don't let their big, cuddly looks fool you. Running into these guys will not only cost you a heart, but some hard-earned points as well.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
