Monster Slider
怪物滑行
Monster Slider is an action arcade game released in 1997, developed by Visco and Datt Japan. Players control a character who must push and slide monsters across puzzle-style grid stages to defeat them. The gameplay revolves around maneuvering enemies into walls or each other, using the sliding mechanic as the primary means of attack rather than direct combat. Each stage presents a confined arena where players must clear all monsters to progress. The game supports two-player simultaneous play, adding a cooperative element to the puzzle-action format. Multiple characters are available to choose from, each with slightly different attributes. Stages increase in complexity as more monster types with varied movement behaviors are introduced, requiring players to think carefully about how and where to push enemies.
