A brand new toy arrived at the toy store. There is a monster inside this package. And the beast ate some things in the playroom before it was packed. Can you find the things he eats and combine them to reveal what it is? Maybe in there something more valuable than the package... I wish you a pleasant time in this game that you can play with one finger.
