Although successful, the controls do take some time to master, and before you do, you’ll find yourself falling a hell of a lot. This is the source of much frustration, as you’ll be replaying the same section of a level countless times in order to advance.  Once you have a firm grasp on the controls however, the game becomes a lot more fun, and you’ll be swinging from branch to branch with relative ease. Just be sure to avoid the enemy spiders who are out to make things that little bit harder for you. 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.

As with all games on a touch screen, success is largely dependent on the quality of the control scheme. Rasta Monkey has little to worry about in this department however, a simple yet incredibly robust control scheme more than does the game justice. Touching the top right of the screen will move Rasta Monkey to the right, over the branch he’s on, and touching the bottom right of the screen will move him to the right under the branch. This is of course reflected on the left hand side of the screen.In order to move Rasta Monkey from branch to branch however, he’s going to need to employ a certain degree of aerobatic skill. Touching the screen with both fingers will cause the chimp to swing around the branch. The game starts with a handy arrow which shows which direction Rasta Monkey will fly off in when you let go, but these disappear after the 2nd level. From here on, you’ll have to rely on your own judgement and timing in order to ensure that the poor little primate doesn’t plummet to a certain death.

Rasta Monkey is one of those games that warms the cockles of your heart. From the crisp and colourful visuals to the hilarious dialogue, you’d have to have a cold heart not to wear a smile whilst playing. Although you’d never guess it from the title, the game puts you in control of a Rastafarian monkey, who is tasked with collecting fruit for his dear father’s holy fruitshakes. 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.

If Rasta Monkey had an iPod, you can bet he'd listen to Bob Marley. That or the Monkees...
