Think the Chimp Test is too easy and boring? Try this version instead! Instead of only having one correct answer, Monkey Mix has several right paths because: 1) There's guaranteed to be more than one word possible for every level. 2) There's a repeating letter in every level, either of which can be used in any ordering. Monkey Mix has two modes to try out: • CASUAL MODE: Keep it simple and chill while you try to find a correct route. • HARD MODE: A 10 second timer is placed on each level, so make sure to think fast before time runs out!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Exploding Brain at none against Monkey Mix's shown. Monkey Mix's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
