Still saving the universe, one monster at a time!
Hi, this is Flux! I'm the one who first found out that our world is being invaded by alien monsters from another planet. While battling each other, they destroyed their own world, so it's up to us to make sure they don't do the same to Earth! All of them are hiding in our Bar Codes just waiting for the chance to strike, so I hope you're up to the challenge. Remember, the fate of our world depends on us!
So far, we've done a great job catching these monsters and keeping them busy by having them fight each other in the special controllers I designed. Well… things have changed! I’ve discovered all new monsters deep within the codes that don’t follow old rules. These monsters only look out for themselves and don’t care about the old tribes. They want to start new tribes!
Now it's up to us to capture ALL of these monsters and keep them busy by creating our OWN tribes!
I'm going to guide you through the functions of the NEW Skannerz controller I've designed. Stick with me, and we'll make sure these creatures don't have the chance to battle anyone except each other!
What you need to know before you begin
By scanning bar codes from common household products, this special Skannerz Commander unit can collect up to 53 monsters and 25 items! The monsters and items are devided into 3 categories: Tech,Power and Magic but monsters can only use items from the same category.
Many of the monsters will join your tribe voluntarily, when you scan them. But many more will refuse to join, and you must defeat them in battle in order to add them to your tribe. Also, if you banish a monster from your tribe, it will hold a grudge against you and be harder to defeat the next time you scan it.

Let's Start Collecting Monsters!
From the Main Menu, select the "Scan" option. The screen will read, "Ready to Scan" and the Scanning Port at the top of the game will become active for 10 seconds.
Grab any household product that has a barcode printed on it. It can be a box of cereal, a book, or a new toy. You know, anything that has to be scanned at a shop till point.
Place the Scanning Port directly onto the surface of the product, to the left or the right of the bar code, and slide it over the code from left to right or right to left. When the code is read, the controller will beep and a line with a "heart beat" will appear. If it is a "small" heart beat, the code wasn't scanned properly, try again. If a "large" heart beat appears, you definitely picked up something! If you get a "Flat Line", there's no sign of life and you should select another product to scan.
Secret Flux Hint: Flat surfaces are the easiest to scan. It takes more practice and skill to scan round or
