A TRIBUTE TO GORILLA.BAS In 1990, a little BASIC program shipped with MS-DOS and quietly ate the world's office hours. Two gorillas on rooftops, an exploding banana, angle and velocity — that was all it took. This is a faithful, from-scratch tribute to that classic, rebuilt for iPhone with the same EGA heart. THROW LIKE IT'S 1990 • The genuine EGA look: 640x350, sixteen colors, the exact palette • A new random city skyline every round, windows lit and dark • Wind, gravity and craters — every miss leaves a hole in the city • The sun still gets shocked when your banana flies through it THE DETAILS THAT MATTER • The gorillas are drawn by the original's own line-and-arc routine, not redrawn sprites • The banana's four rotation frames come straight from the original's data statements • Every melody is the original's PLAY string, performed by a procedural PC-speaker synth • Hit yourself and your opponent takes the point — house rules of 1990 apply PLAY YOUR WAY • Pass-and-play duels on one device, just like sharing a keyboard • Or face the CPU: three difficulties, from wobbly Rookie to dead-eye Ace • Set the gravity: Moon, Mars, Earth or Jupiter TOUCH-FIRST CONTROLS Drag anywhere to aim: horizontal for angle, vertical for velocity. Tap Throw. That's it. No ads. No in-app purchases. No internet required. Just bananas. This is an unofficial fan tribute to the 1990 DOS QBasic sample game GORILLA.BAS.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Gorillas at none against Tricky Traps's 2. Gorillas also leads on ads (none vs shown). Tricky Traps's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price there is nothing between them.
