Jungle Monkey Run 1.9.9

Mission games that involve running from one point to another and avoid obstacles along the way have a strange popularity amongst the masses that is difficult to pin to a particular reason. Games like Mario were extremely popular in their times while games like Temple Run and Subway Surfer have garnered immense popularity in recent times even though their gameplay isn't very complex. The simplicity of running games and their uncomplicated nature is probably the reason for their popularity with users liking the idea of simple tasks with easy to understand controls. Jungle Monkey Run is an interesting running game that makes you guide a monkey through the treacherous jungle in order to win.

Jungle Monkey Run starts with a tutorial related to the controls so that you can get a basic understanding of how they work. The tutorial consists of pictures that explain the controls rather than a live tutorial that makes you utilize those controls where needed. While the pictures are fine and help you get an insight about how to make the monkey jump, how to make it slide and how to make it glide, it would have been better to give the user some practice with these controls. A practice round is helpful in getting the user trained so that the user doesn't have to struggle too much when the actual game starts.

The premise of the game is straight-forward with the storyline revolving around the monkey and its travels through the jungle. Every round has a particular objective where the monkey needs to collect a certain number of bananas and any particular item present within the jungle. Sometimes, the objectives also include elimination of a few enemies roaming the jungle and this is where you are required to be a lot more strategic in your approach. The running game puts a number of obstacles in your way in order to make the game challenging. There are jungle guards of different kinds present that the monkey needs to avoid. Similarly, there are also water surfaces that the monkey either needs to glide over or use a supporting structure to slide over it. The game keeps increasing the challenges with each passing round in order to make it more difficult for you and in order to challenge you to be a lot more attentive during the gameplay.

The running game's graphics are cool and look good. The monkey looks realistic and jumps and moves in a very realistic manner as well. The pixelated display doesn't do any favors to the enemies and the fact that they aren't jungle creatures is also a bit of a letdown. However, the graphics are good enough to give you a good view of the jungle, the items that you need to collect and the enemies that you need to avoid.

Jungle Monkey Run's controls are also suitable and while it takes time to get used to how the monkey glides, they are still easy enough to learn and remember. The controls are very responsive as well and this helps in ensuring that you are never left frustrated due to a lack of response from any control when required.

The game has multiple gaming levels with each progressing level more difficult than the preceding one. You need to be careful while playing every level as well as if the monkey falls in the water or gets caught by the enemy, you need to either spend in-game currency to revive the monkey or restart the level from scratch. These rules make the game very challenging and demand maximum concentration from you.

Features:

• Multiple challenging gaming levels
• Easy to understand controls
• Good gameplay that involves multiple challenges in the path of the monkey's run through the jungle
• Nice graphics that provide a realistic jungle environment

Conclusion:

Jungle Monkey Run is a good running game that has a well laid-out storyline. With a number of gaming levels, challenging gameplay and good controls, this running game is a good option for individuals who like simple games.
