Halfbrick's Monster Dash runner game goes free as it relaunches with new content
Almost a year and a half after its last update, Monster Dash is back from the dead with a significant update.
The popular monster-slaying runner game, which forms Fruit Ninja creator Halfbrick’s Barry Steakfries trilogy along with the endless runner Jetpack Joyride and the dual-stick shooter Age of Zombies, is no longer just a high score chaser. Rather, it now features daily events, new leaderboards and achievements, and a new leveling system that unlocks new weapons, upgrades, and bonuses.
The new version of Monster Dash also boasts a refreshed UI and visual style and introduces new monsters, including demons, mummies, vampires, and zombies.
Check out Halfbrick’s trailer for the new version of Monster Dash in the form of a montage music video:

In celebration of its relaunch, Monster Dash is currently available to download from the App Store for free, instead of its regular price of $0.99. (Update: Monster Dash is Apple’s free App of the Week on the App Store.)
According to Halfbrick, Monster Dash is now under development by Six Foot Kid, the creator of the Halfbrick-published musical simulation game Band Stars.
