Monsty: Monsty Says — watch, repeat, go one further. Monsty and his monster friends light up one after another. Watch the order, then tap them back the same way. Every correct round adds another step, and the sequence keeps growing until you slip. Simple enough for small children, and genuinely tricky a dozen rounds in. Monsty: Monsty Says is built for short rounds that the whole family ends up competing over. WHY YOU WILL LOVE IT - Classic Simon Says play — watch the monsters, repeat the sequence, then go one further - Train your memory — recall longer and longer patterns as the rounds build up - Sharpens concentration — attention and focus practice that feels like play, not training - Grows with you — each round adds a step, so it scales from toddler to grown-up - Colorful monster friends — bright, friendly characters for every age - Simple tap controls — no reading and no instructions needed - Privacy first — no accounts, no tracking, nothing leaves your device - Free to play — the full game, with no in-app purchases HOW TO PLAY The monsters flash in order. Watch closely, then tap them in the same sequence. Get it right and the pattern grows by one. Get it wrong and the round ends — then try again and beat your best run. MADE FOR FAMILIES Short rounds make it easy to hand the device around, and because the sequence grows step by step, a four-year-old and a grandparent can both find their level. No timers, no pressure, no sign-up. Contact: patricia@patricia-sauer.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MatchUp at none against Monsty's 1. MatchUp also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Monsty's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
