Gameplay

Guide Monty through a journey of half of Europe, picking up valuables, and finding tickets to travel quicker between airports.

Monty must collect enough money to fill the icon of the Greek island of “Montos” at the bottom of the screen. Once the picture of the island is fully visible, Monty can escape to Montos and evade his pursuers!

Collect 18,000 money by finding different items throughout the different countries. Monty can bring certain items to different countries in order to convert them to more money.

Monty faces a wide variety of enemies throughout Europe, taking on different appearances. Most enemies move along a pre-defined path - if Monty touches an enemy, he will lose a life.

Airports

Monty can travel around the map faster by using the network of airports on the map. In order to use an airport, Monty must have a ticket. Tickets can be found throughout the map, each allowing a single use of an airport.

When Monty travels from one airport to another, a minigame takes place with Monty in control of an aeroplane. Move the aeroplane using the movement keys, and ’nibble’ the back of other aeroplanes on the screen to gain bonus points.

Movement

Look for vines, chains, and ladders and position Monty a short distance from them or directly over them. Jump, and Monty will begin climbing. Move upwards to climb further.

Monty can jump to a platform above him up to three tiles away, fall from any height without taking damage, and can use certain objects to move in different ways:

Hooks
Hooks can be grabbed by Monty and used to move along their path in both directions. To attach to hooks, move Monty below them and jump.
Ice
Monty will slide uncontrollably when standing on ice tiles.
Crumbly Tiles
Crumbly tiles will dissolve on contact, causing Monty to fall.
Molten Rock
Molten rock tiles cause Monty to jump uncontrollably when stood on. Try and control the direction of the jump to safely leave these tiles.
Bottles
Bottles aren’t a tile, but can be picked up by Monty. When picked up, he will briefly lose control of his movement, moving in random directions for a short duration. Move in the opposite direction to stand still and counteract this.

Trampoline Tiles

A number of visually different tiles give Monty the ability to build up momentum for a much higher jump. When jumping on a trampoline tile, Monty will make several jumps in a row with an increasing jump height.

Airports

Monty can use tickets at airports through the different countries he visits - move next to an airport, and press the Interact with object button to use the airport. Using an airport will initiate a small minigame, placing Monty in an aeroplane. Monty can hit the back of other aeroplanes to slowly damage them, accumulating points when destroying the plane.

Items

Various special objects can be found by Monty throughout the map. Taking these objects to different countries allows Monty to convert them to cash:

  • Take the football to Juventus
  • Touch the blue man in Amsterdam to convert the fertiliser to a
  • bouquet of flowers; take this to Pizza
  • Take the wine to Dortmund
  • Take the Mona Lisa to Itsa Daboss in Italy
  • Carry the tools to use the ski-lift in Austria safely
  • Take the bacon to Sweden
  • Take the steering wheel to Monaco
