Rasta Monkey Free For Three Days
by The Freeloader on Tuesday 23rd Feb 2010

In order to celebrate the release of their new game E-Punk Nikato are making Rasta Monkey free for the next three days.

Here's what we thought of Rasta Monkey in our review...

"Built around a simple swing mechanic, Rasta Monkey is a platform game that uses branches as platforms, and swaps jumping for swinging. Essentially, the game is all about getting from A to B, and collecting as much fruit as you can along the way. Many will draw comparisons to Illusion Labs' Sway, although Rasta Monkey is a far simpler affair, both in terms of its gameplay and aesthetic. This is by no means a bad thing however, Rasta Monkey is still an incredibly challenging game, and although only clocking in at around two hours of play, there’s enough here to entice even the seasoned gamer.

Rasta Monkey isn’t the most in depth or technically impressive platformer available on the App Store, but most will fall in love with it regardless. The game just has a terrific vibe to it. The catchy reggae music is fantastic, and in combination with the clean visuals and genuinely hilarious dialogue, a really fun and vibrant atmosphere is created. Although the game may live in Sway’s shadow from a gameplay perspective, Rasta Monkey can still hold it’s head high as one of the App Store’s finest platformers."

So basically it's pretty good and well worth getting for free! Here's the download link.

And here's a video of the game in action. Enjoy!
