CUSTOMER REVIEW



This is a jumper style game, where your goal is to have the monkey bounce on the vines to collect gems, bananas, or complete certain goals (like to get to the finish line without getting stung) in a certain amount of time. If you don't like playing on a timer, I'd just recommend playing on gem quest, as you're not timed on those levels. There's also two other categories to play: totem trial and quick play (which unlocks after you begin playing--I think after totem as I only then realized there was a new category). The main difference between gem and totem besides the timer is the "main" goal of gem is to collect all five gems and in totem, you have five "trials" to complete in order to gain a circle of the totem pole.



There are also more monkeys for you to unlock, which become unlocked as you play. There's also different "abilities" to help you that can be bought with banana points. The points are pretty easy to gain (not too easy, but not hard), which you can gain them from just collecting them on the way in gem quest, from collecting in totem after completing each trial (more if you beat them in a timely manner), or from playing quick play.



The controls are simple, you just touch the monkey and move your finger backward (this is how far/high the monkey will go) and you move your finger in the direction you want the monkey to go. Lucky for me, there's an arrow that helps guide you (I probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere in totem without it). The graphics are wonderful and the sounds are nice though a bit too much even on medium sound (what my kindle is normally set on)--a plus, though, there's a volume bar in the options for the music and sound.



Overall, a great game and fun way to pass time. If you like playing games with replay value, this one won't let you down. I think this game would be great for children as well (maybe a bit hard for very young children). For $1, this game is well worth it and I'd definitely recommend this game.
