  • Best mobile game ever

    This game is so much fun and not only that, it’s inspiring and eye opening and shows the problems that an animal like a gibbon has to face with the challenge of deforestation. Hands down the best game on the App Store right now. Definitely would recommend playing.
  • Outstanding graphics and artwork

    This game looks amazing and I'm loving how it's also blended in with real life.
    One thing - I wish the controls were easier to learn, if there is too much to learn at the start a lot people will uninstall instantly. My advice would be to make the first few levels very basic and easy to navigate then casually add in more. I will continue to try to learn it only because this game looks amazing and has real potential.

  • Lovely graphics BUT…

    …controls are too complicated without on screen buttons. When you have to react very quickly and have multiple combinations of lifting fingers, holding two fingers, one finger for certain movements it’s way, way too complicated and I can’t remember what does what. At least have the option available for on screen controls. I am autistic so if things are too complicated it can get very frustrating. I don’t like games that rely on gestures, I like buttons.

    Developer Response

    Hi there! Sorry to hear you are having troubles getting into the flow! We have planned some additional accessibility options, especially for controls, in future updates. We know our control scheme can take some getting used to, but have found that, over time, most playtesters have grown into it and really liked it afterwards. If you still have the motivation, maybe it clicks when you try again? Some specific tips for you: - It's all about the timing: HOLD while you want Pink to swing along branches, RELEASE at the end of them - Focusing just on one finger (and swinging) might help you get the timing right - We found it to be easier if you realease a bit earlier - You can release a bit before the end of a branch and Pink will still finish that last handhold and launch at the perfect angle. - Best, Felix
  • Beautiful and Revealing Game

    This game is so incredibly well done and tells a story in such a way that you truly feel every moment of it. The art style is fantastic. I’ve only played Pink’s story so far but I’m already planning on coughing up all the money I can to fund Gibbon conservation. I laughed, I cried, and I can truly say that I wish I was a gibbon swinging through the trees. :)

  • Very disappointing

    Looks gorgeous, but very shallow, repetitive and unchallenging gameplay. Low effort story and story telling. Game is really short as well.
