Gibbons are apes.

Hi so I like this game. It’s very fun. I find it entertaining and gibbons are my favorite ape because of this game. I also liked reading about gibbons in the book thing. I have noticed no glitches so far (If I do I’ll edit the review. In general, the developer has done a great job with this beautiful game and doesn’t have to read the rest of the review because they know gibbons are apes. This review is meant to be read by everyone who keeps writing those reviews calling gibbons monkeys, or just in general calls gibbons monkeys. GIBBONS ARE APES. NOT MONKEYS. TELL ME WHEN THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A GIBBON WITH A TAIL. This isn’t the first time I’ve been annoyed by something like this. I recently went to a zoo because there was a new baby gorilla. There was this obnoxious group of kids that kept calling the gorillas monkeys. Don’t call apes monkeys. And don’t call white tigers albino tigers if their stripes are black. I’m just… telling? Correcting? Telling you that you’re wrong because I’m an older sibling? Idk. But if you call gibbons or any kind of ape monkeys STOP. -MONSTRKTTY

I love this game. I’ve played through it more times than I can count. The landscape is beautiful, the physics of it is really well done, and it’s just overall a really amazing game! However, I have noticed a really annoying problem. If you are swinging over a large gap on a vine and you are at the end of it, it ends the game/run, which can be really annoying for daily runs. You can clearly see that the gibbon has made it to the trees on the other side because whenever you die the game shows a few seconds after, and it shows the gibbon making it to those branches, but it still ends the game. I’m not sure if this was meant to be, but I think it is a glitch that is caused by the game noticing that you have gone too low. Please fix this so that I can get normal scores on daily runs. This is still a super awesome game and I would highly recommend, just the one glitch that I would love to be fixed. Thank you!

This game has amazing meaning and has a wonderfully intuitive feel, it lets me be a Gibbon while I play it. The artwork is captivating and the mechanics are very easy to get good at quickly. A lot of activist groups will be overbearing and sappy, the developers of this game definitely did not shove their message in my face, but they subtly showed me how hard the life a Gibbon is because of a changing world. One suggestion I would make to the developers is that occasionally the Gibbon will be completely out of view when either walking in certain areas or when swinging in certain areas. This isn’t a huge deal but a slight camera angle change would be nice in those situations. Love the game and I can’t wait to see what future changes the developers will make. Happy swinging!

The game is fun and impactful, the animation is spot on and simple, yet complex. It imitates the movement of and actual gibbon and other animals. I would love to see a new story and maybe new character. The story it has and the impact it leaves are powerful. A gibbon losing its mate, though in this game fake, is very true in real life. People tend to think from this that gibbons only experience this but even the game shows many other animals experiencing this. Not only in South America does this happen but also many other continents like Africa, Australia, and Africa. All these countries have beautiful ecosystems that are in harms way because of human greed. But overall this game has led to widespread awareness and fun around the world and maybe should be on the regular apple store for more people to experience.
