The object of this arcade-like game is to survive through a number of levels while crushing the beasts (represented by the character H) with the movable blocks. The H’s are attracted to the player’s position (represented by a diamond-like character) every move. The beginning levels have only the common beasts (H), however from level H and forth the more challenging super-beasts appear. These are represented by a double h character. There is no good way to describe it, except from that it is taken from the part of the DOS code page intended for drawing tables. These super-beasts are harder to kill as they must be crushed against a static block. At level P the eggs are introduced, implying greater challenge. These enemies are dormant at the beginning of each level, but will in time hatch into a hatched beast. These beasts are the hardest to kill, as they can also move blocks to crush the player. They can however be killed as easily as the regular beasts, against any object.

Another thing that really makes Beast enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Beast. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
