Rasta Monkey is by far the most fun action platformer out there! with perfect physics based gameplay that you will love, hand rolled in Jamaican flavor.

But dont be fooled by Rasta Monkey’s amazingly cute kawaii graphics and relaxing dub music - This game is only for you highly trained monkeys! Now Jam down and make the selecta!

You are Rasta Monkey, the extraordinarily happy Rastafarian Monkey who swings around and grab onto branches using your awesome physics based monkey-mon skills.
You snag some delicious fruit along the way to make tasty fruit shakes for your Dada, General RastaMonkey the 3rd. Him too old to collect dem fruits anymore so he needs your help:

"You need to collect dem fruits for mi special fruit-shake before mi head go CHAKA CHAKA! ... Now go lung, make yah madda proud!"

The perfect physics gameplay in Rasta Monkey is truly awesome! Everything you do in this game, including moving, jumping, climbing, swinging on ropes, fighting monsters and more, is based on the manipulation of gravity and other forces of nature.

Pros and cons of Rasta Monkey! app for iPhone and iPad

Rasta Monkey! app good for

I have yet to play through the entire game but after playing the first few levels the game does seem pretty fun. The characters and concept is cool with the rasta style. Kind of easy so far but i would suggest to download it.
Quite interesting stoned. Very fun game. Good gameplay in terms of controls.
awesome game Nitako. i love it soo much because it has good controls and its a fun game. also the monkeys are awesome!
Reggae monkeys, great music, fun gameplay and great replay value. I think its safe to say its one of the best apps especially for the price tag.
The loading needs to be a lot quicker and the game is extremily challenging( Im at level 6 and Im stumped). The swinging feels akward but I hope there will be an update to fix that
Wow this was surprisingly entertaining The fact thats its a Jamaican monkey makes it all worthwhile!

Some bad moments

You cant understand what the grandpa guy is saying, and horrible graphics!!!
Highly repetitive. Needs more depth. The swinging feels awkward. Please go get Sway instead.
It has horrible controls. The enemies dont do anything to stop you. They help with the bad controls though.
The is not the best game on the app store gets really boring not really worth buying but I got it while it was free so ya not that great.
The game is repetetive and not worth your money. I played it when it was free and the only thing I enjoyed was the music
i dont even kno why i have it its repetative and nuthin no story no plot no actuall enemy not good layout
