Monster Boy reworked character reveal #3
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 4 Comments
It wasn’t too long ago that FDG Entertainment announced an overhaul for the visuals of Monster Boy. The game now features hand-drawn designs and animations.
For today’s reveal, we have a look at the new approach to the lion character. Here’s what FDG said about the change:
Today we reveal the new hand-drawn design of the lion and he wears some cool ice equipment. This is the best equipment to have for the scorching hot volcano area and will help you to survive much longer. Deal more damage to fire-based enemies and take less damage from them – it’s a perfect combination! The lion transformation makes Jin much stronger and he can dash super fast but never forget all the other transformations. Jin can switch his form anytime and you’ll need to be smart to combine them in a most efficient way. Sometimes you need the power of a lion, sometimes the small size of a tiny snake to be successful. The further you go, the more transformations are needed to survive and everyone will know that the cursed kingdom can only be saved by Monster Boy.
Thanks to HerosShade for the tip.

Niantic implements new anti-cheating measure in Pokemon GO, disabled after fans quickly find a workaround
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 10 Comments
Pokemon GO’s latest update went live this week. It was primarily intended to get the game ready for Gen III Pokemon, but it also included a new anti-cheating measure aimed at those using “spoofing” apps.
Unfortunately for Niantic, things did not go as planned. Players quickly managed to bypass the anti-cheating measure. When we say quickly, we mean quickly. It took under an hour for the method to be defeated, prompting Niantic to disable it entirely.
How will Niantic respond from here? The company will likely try its best to continue going after those it deems are cheaters. At least thus far, Niantic is having a very difficult time on that front.
