Certain groups of wild monsters have their own yards, which can be attacked and looted for resources like a normal player's. The artificial intelligence used by Backyard Monsters looks at a player's yard and determines the weakest point in the yard's defences, what type of monsters the yard is weak against, and sends the appropriate monsters at that location. In Backyard Monsters, wild monsters are non-player controlled enemies that attack players randomly. Completely destroying a yard allows the player to build an outpost on the location. Upon building a catapult, players can then select resources to launch at the enemy player's base to further damage their buildings, or strengthen the attacking monsters. ĭefensive towers and walls can be built to defend their yard from attacking players or wild monsters. The monsters can then be sent to another player's yard with the 'flinger', where they will destroy structures until they are killed by defensive towers. Monsters can be strengthened by educating them in the 'monster academy' or modifying them in the 'monster lab'. Players in Backyard Monsters can attack other players with a number of 'monsters' which can be created by spending Goo in a 'hatchery'. The higher leveled player can then retaliate with an equal number of attacks as was received from the low leveled player. Higher leveled players cannot attack low leveled players unless the low leveled players initiate the first strike.

Gaining enough causes the player to 'level up'. Įxperience points are gained when when performing most actions, such as building new structures, collecting resources produced, or attacking other players. Small quantities of Shiny can be acquired by completing quests and cleaning the player's yard of mushrooms. 'Shiny', the fifth optional resource, can be bought through online payment methods such as PayPal and Facebook Credits and spent on various in-game extras. Players in Backyard Monsters use four main resources: 'Twigs', 'Pebbles', 'Putty', and 'Goo', which are produced with dedicated resource harvesters. The goal of the game is to defend the main building, the 'Town Hall', from enemies while upgrading other buildings and attacking other players.
