### 2/5 — Audio

*2026-08-18, version 1.10.2*

I like the game very fun to play and tells an interesting story, I just don’t like that I am unable to play background music from other apps as the app doesn’t allow sound to play unless it’s from the game itself frustrating when I want to swing while listening to music and ruins the game for me.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2026-07-30, version 1.10.2*

Omg this is so sad 😭 I thought people would care about conservation! I am  so sorry for the loss of the monkeys 🐒

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2026-07-30, version 1.10.2*

Game shows how much damage us humans could cost to wildlife and teaches us a lesson and I was so close to crying because this game shows a lot🥰

### 5/5 — my favourite game

*2026-07-25, version 1.10.2*

i almost cried, gibbons are my favourite animal and the graphics, scenery and message in the game is AMAZING. i never write reviews but this genuinely deserves it.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-07-22, version 1.10.2*

Just a really good game!

### 5/5 — Keep spreading awareness

*2026-07-17, version 1.10.2*

As a young adult, this game is truely amazing in so many ways, it will help bring awareness to the things that are happening in this world right now, it is sad to see that this is the reality of the world and the way we treat our animals and ecosystems, the mechanics and the game play of this is outstanding and very addicting while also informing people of things they need to be aware of. Thank you for developing such a beautiful game like this

### 5/5 — Moneys

### 5/5 — This is the best game I’ve ever played

*2026-07-05, version 1.10.2*

This game is awesome for me. I love it. Don’t delete it.

### 5/5 — Get This Game ❤️

*2026-07-03, version 1.10.2*

When I first got this, I fell in love with the game and even gibbons! The graphics are really nice and the update where you added the sprint and endurance was really cool. The story makes sense and thank you so much for this game and I hope that me getting and playing this game almost everyday helps support everything. 🥰

### 5/5 — Update love

*2026-07-02, version 1.10.2*

It’s very very good but can you add like an update

### 5/5 — THIS IS BEAUTIFUL !!!

*2026-07-01, version 1.10.2*

Everything about this game is amazing, from the art style, the story, and the message, definitely worth the subscription.

### 5/5 — Don’t endanger or capture gibbons

*2026-06-25, version 1.10.2*

Gibbons are great because they swing on trees and doing flip. If a Gibbon or monkey is endangered don’t capture them because their environment will be destroyed and loss and no monkey will not have a home to sleep and stay. 1 thing to help a gibbon is to protect the trees to stay away from the illegal companies then the gibbons won’t have to go to another home in the trees. 2 things to help a gibbon is to take off the TNT off the trees so they don’t have to be knock down. Finally washed the X on the trees so they don’t know if is it cut down trees. That is a helpful way to help gibbon or any kind of monkey that is endangered.

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Lower your volume all the way…

*2026-03-10, version 1.10.2*

If you have your phone on silent, this game bypasses that setting and plays with sound on. Be sure to lower the volume all the way. Irritating.

### 1/5 — Garbage controls

*2025-12-27, version 1.9.7*

The tutorial is awful. I have no idea how to even control the game. The monkey moves, it shows you a drawing of your phone with fingers on it, then one with fingers off it, so I remove my finger and it says I did it too soon, but I had to remove my finger to get the image off the screen so I could keep playing. I’m not even sure what the point of the game is.

### 1/5 — Confusing controls

*2025-10-25, version 1.9.7*

Couldn’t understand the controls at all

### 1/5 — Kind of good

*2025-06-26, version 1.9.1*

It’s so hard to get through because of the big gaps like mountains. And it could be better. Not so hard pls.

### 1/5 — The gibbon died traumatically

*2025-02-02, version 1.9.1*

My twelve year old daughter begged to play this because monkeys and small apes are her favorite animals. She was so excited until today when she was playing it, and the gibbon was apparently pulled into the blades of a helicopter and killed. She cried for a long time. I don’t have any issues with some mild cartoon violence, but an ape being dismembered by moving helicopter blades is a bit much.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2024-11-30, version 1.9.1*

Just downloaded it for the first time and it black screens when I open the app

### 1/5 — This game is amazing the story is pure

*2024-11-30, version 1.9.1*

This game changed my perspective on life I love the gameplay style and I’m just about to start lilacs story 5 stars

### 1/5 — Don’t recommend for children

*2024-06-22, version 1.9.1*

The level called extinct is horrible for children👎

### 1/5 — II WANT TO EAT MONkeys

*2024-01-06, version 1.8.1*

Why are the monieys alive MONOEYS DIE IN THE REAL WORLD

### 1/5 — 리뷰처음써봐요

*2022-04-15*

취향추천으로 떠서 해봤는데 시간낭비같아서 5분하고 껐어요 너무너무 재미없음.. 조작도 어렵고 스토리나 어드벤처게임 아니고 덩굴타는게임이네요

### 5/5 — Yesssss

*2026-08-17, version 1.10.2*

Soooooo good

### 5/5 — Get This Game ❤️

*2026-08-14, version 1.10.2*

When I first got this, I fell in love with the game and even gibbons! The graphics are really nice and the update where you added the sprint and endurance was really cool. The story makes sense and thank you so much for this game and I hope that me getting and playing this game almost everyday helps support everything. 🥰 I’ve also sent multiple reviews of how great this game is. I’m adding to this review saying that I was just playing today’s endurance run and all of a sudden everything turned to black and white. Idk why Mabye just glitch but it’s never happened before. Just thought I’d say that. Can’t wait for more updates in the future! 🥰

### 5/5 — Very good but sad 😞

*2026-08-12, version 1.10.2*

I love this game it’s beautiful but sad 😔 the way the yellow gibbin gets shot is so sad…but anyway I love the way you made this game and hope you can make more like this🥰…if there was a 10 star rating I would give this game a 10 star rating 😊

### 5/5 — A must play

*2026-08-11*

The game is very good and peaceful. Also the background music is really good! The storyline subtly moves ahead. Loved the story.

### 5/5 — People are mean

*2026-08-10, version 1.10.2*

I never knew how mean people were being to these animals I don’t really know about these animals so I’m really sad to find when I find out about them that people are destroying their environment and hurting them. I’m so glad this game let me know that happened so at some point when I can, I will help solve the problem.

### 5/5 — Gibbon run

*2026-08-06, version 1.10.2*

It was so good. It made me cry. Please make one for alligators.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-04, version 1.10.2*

Teaches you what humans do to Gibbons and how they got endangered but still it’s a fun and awesome game. 😎

### 5/5 — Don’t know what to say!

*2026-08-04, version 1.10.2*

I love nature and this game is the best ever! You learn so much and I have been inspired to help wildlife even more. It’s so peaceful I feel like I’m actually going through the jungle myself when I play it. Thank you for creating this beautiful wild adventure!

### 5/5 — Few Suggestions:

*2026-08-01, version 1.10.2*

I love this game! I love to complete the story and have done so several times. It is so beautiful and it feels like a lot of heartfelt time was spent into making this game. The thing is, when you complete it, for me at least, it doesn’t really feel appealing to do the other stuff, and I don’t feel like people would love the game that much that even if they ‘beat the game’ they would keep playing the daily runs and stuff. Maybe they do maybe I’m just weird idk. But I have two suggestions about which ways you could go to make it more fun in my opinion.

1. Make the game multiplayer! I know it is hard, as I have a family member making games, but if you could play multiplayer and race around and interact with humans and be able to go left and have a nest that would be really cool! There could be quests that you need to go out and find food, and/or a whole new storyline about finding a beautiful jungle far away because your home gets destroyed.

2. Make the story longer. Make it an entire, full game that wouldn’t take just 2 hours or so to play the whole storyline! Make it so it would take 6 hours of full on playing to complete it, with a big finish at the end and it leaves you feeling happy and complete!

I had a good time playing this game and I really hope you will take my suggestions into consideration.
