What Makes Don't Get Stranded! Stand Out
Welcome to Don’t Get Stranded, a beautiful, free puzzle app! Marooned on an island, your monkey's only source of food is too far to reach. Build a path out of the rafts around you, but be careful: one wrong move and you’ll be stranded!
Whenever you jump off of a raft, Newton's first and third laws of motion come into play. The raft is forced in the opposite direction, and continues until it hits a wall. You'll have to plan ahead to position every element where you need, to build the enigmatic path to your bananas.
You’ll catch on quick, but don’t let the cute graphics fool you—this game features challenges that will test the mental limits of even the best puzzle solvers! Are you clever enough to clear every level?
Dress your critters up in silly costumes and listen to the beautiful, jazzy music as you puzzle your way through each level. There are no time limits, so play at your own pace!
This game features 144 free levels, from easy little baby levels to nearly impossible challenges that will be bugging your brain for hours.
This Family game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Such a creative game! Recommend to smart people only.
Such a creative game! Recommend to smart people only.
Love it, is amazing! Anyone could like it, from 4 yr olds to 20. No time limit, thank you, time limits have ruined some otherwise amazing games, but not this one! Love how when you unlock more creatures, they appear on the start button. Purchase is unnecessary, game is already addicting, but totally do it! Amazing game, love the costumes, dressing up already cute animals.
Don't let the cute animals and happy music fool you– this game can be challenging. It's easy to get the hang of and becomes progressively harder. Great puzzles, graphics and music.
Lots of replay value, fun and simple to learn but gets better and better as you go.
We're in the middle of finals week and couldn't have downloaded this game at a worse time. It's addicting! We love how much each level makes us think. Easy to learn, tricky to beat.
Great game, good concept! Fun to play around trying to solve all the puzzles. The costume unlockables are a nice touch as well.
This is a great puzzle game like no other. The cute animals are a joy to tap their way to their snack.
