Until that point, I had found the game was pleasantly challenging, rather than punishing, and while some players probably enjoy overcoming more difficult levels, it was at this point that the single-player story mode soured for me. Having said that, once I reached world seven, I found the difficulty spiked considerably, and all of a sudden I was getting a reprise of my earlier “Fall Out” beat on repeat. I think this largely comes down to the personal skills of each player, for example, I struggled with levels that required precision balancing more than the levels that required precision timing. This was a really refreshing change from other arcade puzzle action games, as I didn’t feel as much of a failure for skipping one level if I was then able to complete the next one with ease. In reality, you’re naturally becoming more adept as you play through, so while it’s true the worlds become more complex and more challenging, I found that the levels weren’t necessarily more difficult as you progressed further. At first I assumed that levels would scale in difficulty, and then each world would become more challenging. For the main story mode, levels are split into different themed worlds, each of which has ten levels to complete.
The game offers over 300 levels in total, allowing you to switch it up with various modes - though most of these you have to unlock with points - so there is always an abundance of things to do. It’s just a classic platformer with the same upbeat music and all the arcade trimmings you’d expect from a retro title, but with the added benefit of a clean, up-to-date look. It’s not trying too hard to be something super modern or cutting edge. There’s something especially charming about its simple style and gameplay that took me right back to when I was a kid growing up in the ‘90s. Regardless of my clear inability to master the game, I still found it incredibly enjoyable.

If that sounds a bit bananas, that’s because it is - but delightfully so. For those who are unfamiliar, the game centers on the concept of you tilting various stages to maneuver a monkey in a ball around or through obstacles to collect bananas and reach the goal.
