Additionally it a HTML5 version of the game was released in 2019, which made it available on major web gaming portals such as CrazyGames. It focuses on live clumps of pudding working to avoid being eaten by combining themselves into a monster to scare humans who want to eat them.

Reception

The Switch version received "generally favorable reviews", while the iOS version received "mixed or average reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.

Gameplay

Unlike ZeptoLab's previous physics-based hit Cut the Rope, Pudding Monsters utilizes a sliding-block puzzle mechanic. Players slide individual pieces of pudding across a grid; once set in motion, a piece continues sliding until it hits an obstacle, the grid edge, or another pudding piece. The objective is to fuse all separate pieces into a single continuous monster structure. As the game progresses, new monster types introduce unique mechanics.
