"Jungle Rumble surely has a place on the market. Despite missing the opportunity to include some catchier music and the sectioned level design hurting its pick-up-and-play mobility, its shortcomings aren’t enough to truly denounce its charm. The gameplay is fun and challenging with addictive tendencies, the structure implements new mechanics consistently, and the concept bodes well to invite new rhythm-based games to the platform. The overall simplistic art design works to support its nature showing off both colorful visual and basic, but memorable characters, such as my personal favorite, the monkey sage with a Cockney accent. Jungle Rumble is definitely worth the purchase if you’re a rhythm game fan looking to get your mobile fix. Grab some headphones and take it with you, just be sure to finish your level before you put it down." - Alex Cabral of Geekenstein
A discussion of the game design behind popular rhythm game Jungle Rumble.
The game is charming, fun, and addictive, keeping me up way past my bedtime on more than a few nights. I kept having that all-too-common thought of “just one more level” well into the night, and paid for it in the morning, when I would tap my foot to the remembered rhythm as I waited in line to get my coffee. And, of course, it’s full of adorable monkey puns.
Mofongo Tribe lives deep in the jungle. They swing from trees under vast skies. They vie to throw coconuts the furthest. And they pursue the sweet flesh of the banana. Sustenance for the young. Delight for the old. When a rival tribe invades, to steal those bananas, a conflict ignites.
Nice work with this review. This game completely slipped under my radar until now.
