GameVortex:
"Speaking of bananas, another key element that is not introduced immediately in the game is the fact that bananas will "stick" to the towers. That is to say, if you build a structure and part of it touches a banana, if the structure moves or collapses, that banana will go with it. This is very useful when the player is trying to manipulate the path of the monkeys or makes sure that they can reach all of the bananas. A method that I used frequently is something I call "out on a limb." When building structures, you will need a minimum of two bamboo sticks to create a section (a single stick can be placed as support between two already existing coconuts, if it will reach). Sometimes you want to build a section to attach a banana to the structure, but you do not have two sticks to spare. One way to accomplish this is to build the extension using two sticks, then remove one of the sticks for use elsewhere, leaving the one limb sticking out attached to the banana. It will swing like a swivel when the action phase begins, with banana in tow. This trick also comes in handy when you want to use a single stick as a support beam or to add a little extra weight on one side of a structure.
All in all, this is a very fun and entertaining game and, at a price of 99 cents at the time of this review, a simply unbeatable deal from the iTunes App Store."
Pocket Gamer - It's unlikely GameHouse's Tiki Towers is going to shake its 'World of Goo clone' tag any time soon, but – if you hadn't already noticed – Pocket Gamer is something of a fan.
This week sees just one release for the Windows Phone 7’s Xbox LIVE enabled catalogue, a conversion of GameHouse Live’s Tiki Towers. Tiki Towers is a puzzle game in which players must guide their monkeys to safety by constructing paths to the exit.
It’s a physics based puzzle game with some really clever level design. You just have to remove blocks and make sure that the Tiki totem lands safely. Who knew such a simple concept could result in an incredibly addicting game?
That said, this is hands-down the best experience for you, your mom, niece, dad, grandpa, whatever. Everyone will be able to enjoy it. Even my 4 year old niece loved it when I had to figure out a way to shut her up in the car for couple of hours. The pure joy of blocks hitting each other is amazing.
