Kill monsters?

[Blessed]

Can monsters be killed and if so, what are the ways? There were so many times monsters were in the way. I do not mind the monsters being there but I would like to kill some of them if I could. For example if a powerup will kill them once a while would be nice. Many times I was going to drill open a crate when a monster got to it first or I would be drilling and a monster would get me. The monsters are not fast yes, but they shoot projectiles. Having the monsters around makes things a little exciting but I still like to kill them once a while

Hey blessed, a well timed TNT crate will kill most monsters. Hope that helps

Dynamite and jumping bomb kill monsters if they are in the blast area.

i take annoying ones to the core, it's an insta-kill for them if they touch it. most if not all the time, you can lure them to the top and then boost away from them.

would like to see the side explosions, and the power up buzzsaw to kill them too, it comes very late in the game, so it would give a more rewarding game play.

agree...first time i had the horizontal explosion was sad to see it had no effect on monsters....
the buzzsaw is a great addition, made the game so much better, though now it turns into a FIND the box game instead of just mining ;) but would be nice if it also ripped monsters apart

i think its only bouncing bombs and dynamite that kill em. its usully not worth trying unless it just happens to happen

There really should be some kind of weapon to kill them personaly

You don't have to kill those monsters , but escape from monsters.

Some are hard to escape

It depends on monsters

I agree with the idea that the buzzsaw should kill monsters. Towards the endgame, monsters just get annoying instead of challenging and the ability to eliminate them via bombs is a bit too rare. Slightly increasing the effect via buzzsaws seems like a more entertaining approach as one goes from running away to hunting.

Add in a few unique monster drops and you might get a bit more gameplay out of it.

There are certain monsters which are annoying to me especially a big worm. It seems undefeatable to me.

Most helpful monster. It digs 3 rows for you and uncovers 2 more so that you can take healing chests or maybe some other good powerup. Usually quite a good thing when it appears on the most difficult drill sites.

Easily avoidable too. Just don't stand on those three rows before him and he does nothing to you.

The most annoying monster is green hairball that follows you at high speed until it touches a tile. When you have a holosaw it is very hard to leave a tile between it and a drill to make it bounce so it just follows next to you waiting till you lose the saw and slowdown. And with all bouncy staff appearing when holosaw is on it may be hard to notice this thing following you.

Thanks for help.

As of patch #3 the horizontal explosive crate should now kill monsters also.
