Community Insight:
When we tap the fast fall we die a lot even if lined up with a big elephant. We seem to hit the small one under it and die to the large one.
We're getting more and more addicted. That monkey is adorable.
We love this game it is a great way to pass time.
The game is great and it is so easy also the monkey that we all jump with is so CUTE.
We love the game a lot. It's our go to game on our phone. However, there's a problem. It crashes a lot for no reason. We think it has something to do with the ads, because it didn't crash at all when we were offline. But when we turned our cellular back on, instant crash. It's not like it's our own fault, because our brother has the same problem with the game. Please fix this shortly.
This game is really fun to play. Challenging with no glitches or problems what so ever. It's challenging to estimate how fast the elephants are going to evade them, and it's simply gameplay mechanics makes it great for everyone. We would recommend a music track though.
We think there should be power ups and upgrades for ur monkey.
The difficulty is perfect… Not too easy, but not too hard either. The graphics are really cute, the sound effects are nice, gosh, is there anything really wrong with this game? Besides a tiny, rare hitbox glitch that causes you and the stomped elephant to die simultaneously? Nope! Two weeks we've had the game, and we're still not bored, still getting better. Thumbs up to the developers! Oh and also, the ads are just fine. Only one when you enter the game is tolerable.
We've had this game for 3 days and we're addicted to it but we think it would be better and more challenging to have a combo that is x3 for jumping on the same color elephants, if you guys don't add that we don't care we'll still be trying to be on the leaderboards.
With these new updates your app deserves 5 stars. Now we can see the game taking a step in the direction of Monkey Customization haha. Like a point system kinda similar to JetPack Joyride. That would be cool to be able to make our monkey wear different gear.
But the jump bug thing is still there stopped us at 7k im hurt.
We are currently unable to check our ranking on the world wide scoreboard. Part of the fun of the game is every time you get a new high score you run to the scoreboard and see how many spaces you moved up. For awhile now we haven't been able to. Please fix this so we can give that 5th star.
This game's super addictive, we love it, but there's obviously a bug– sometimes when we're playing a round, all of the sudden the game is going way faster than it was to the point where it's near impossible to play and not get hit by elephants. It's like the games in fast forward. Hope they fix that soon because this game is the best.
Adds always pop up to take you out of the game.
Good game but it has a bad glitch that makes us frustrated because it's probably one of the only reasons we die.
Only reason we're not giving it 5 stars is the pesky ads! Every time we hit play we accidentally hit an ad…but awesome game and very addictive.
The jump bug is still present in this version.
We can't remember how many times we died just because of ADS and we doubt we're the only one who has this happen to them and if this happens to u pls let us know.
In most games, advertisement popups cause the game to pause. Not in Monkey Boots. The game continues in the background and if you aren't fast enough to close it, you restart. Fortunately this only seems to happen at the beginning of every 4 or 5 games. However, this coupled with frequent crashes offsets the really quite fun gameplay. 3 stars for the gameplay.
Every time we play the game freezes and makes us die then freezes again and shuts down and we can't play it again until we delete it and get it again.
Amazing game, but it crashes unexpectedly and many times, though you guys supposedly fixed this bug, it stomps many times, ruining your round. We love this game, just get rid of the stupid crap.
The app has gotten better? It hasn't because the monkey still prematurely stomps, the ads are still in the way when they could be at the bottom and the instructions still show every time we start the app.
About every 30 seconds the app crashes it might be because we have an iPhone 4 but plz fix it.
Is a huge problem!!!! We die for no reason and it's not even worth playing anymore. Instead of trying to beat our own high score, we're waiting for the inevitable death that we can't do anything about no matter how well we actually play.
We can't get the game to start. It will download but then when click on it to play it just goes to our home screen.
This game is incredibly disturbing. It struck us at first as innocent, but then we noticed something that was in front of us the whole time: none of the elephants have tusks. We are concerned for these creatures and urged to contact PETA.
Ok so every single time we play we stay and midair and is out of nowhere and then it randomly closes on us constantly whenever we're close to getting to our high score. Please fix.
Ok, let us first explain that one bug which is becoming more and more frustrating. When you "force land" or "force hit", we mean the action that you do with the right button, on an elephant, you sometimes still die although you hit exact top of it. This is very unexpected and god knows when it will happen but it occasionally happens and we hate it, because you come to 8000s and still doing perfect, but then all of a sudden, BAM! You are dead and you did no mistake! It never happens by hitting on an elephant without force landing, it only happens when you step on an elephant quickly. We hope that will be solved asap, because knowing that even if you done perfect, you may still die and lose all your points, makes it pointless. People who play the game a lot, should also notice this bug and they will understand what we mean. Btw we play the game on ipad air. Besides that, we've been playing the game since the beginning and it is now one of our favourites with the new combo feature as we expected. We were thinking exactly about it and we were planning to write a suggestion review here but you guys already did it! Congratulations guys, the game is a simple pure success.
But whenever you open the app, it consistently pops up an ad right over the play button just as you are about to press it. We would rather have a ribbon ad during gameplay than have to close the App Store every time we want to play.
We hate the ads keep popping up almost everytime we tries to play….. Either fix it or u r not getting much download.
Its the new flappy bird without all the frustration and phone throwing.
Fun game that takes at most a minute or two to get through a game. The controls are clever for a side scrolling game, and become intuitive after a few rounds. There is, however, an annoying small jump that the monkey makes occasionally when the two buttons are pressed almost simultaneously. It feels like a glitch, or an odd programming quirk, and it usually leads us to die. But maybe it has an intended function we haven't mastered yet. Aside from that frustration, great game.
Our world was darkened by the loss of flappy bird. Though we never experienced the double edged joy and horror that encompassed the late avian indie mobile game, we do mourn for the lack of obscenely hysterical game reviews that we would peruse for the app. This game had a unique quality of achievability without the manic desire to go out an commit first degree manslaughter when you are trampled by a heard of blind, stampeding, multicoloured elephantine creatures.
With its cartoony graphics and its simple controls, it resembles the game Flappy Bird, but plays very differently from it. Monkey Boots plays more like a 2D Temple Run. This is a very creative game, and this is worthy of a full 5 stars.
This game is amazing although while we're playing the ad pops up and covers the whole screen.This gets extremely annoying but can be easily fixed if you could just put the ad on top of the screen like flappy bird instead of covering the whole screen.
Got this app close to when it came out & have been hooked ever since.
This game is so fun! Cupcakereivews gives this a 5 stars! This will probably not be deleted! Nobody cares about flappy bird.
We really enjoy this game. It has captured our attention and is a great game. There are only two noticeable problems. First off the ad should be moved to the bottom of the screen. We constantly click the ad which annoys us quite a bit and take us away from the awesome elephant killing game. Also the jump button occasionally lags. It sometimes thinks that we double jump even if we do not. Overall it is a great game that deserves a spot on the top 25.
This is a good app and for those wondering how to play music and be playing the app the same time all u do is turn ur music and open the app and after that the music will shut off but what u do is while ur app is open u open ur control center and click play :) works for everything we think.
It's great! If you want a good game to burn time, look no further! For creator- we found only one bug, if the monkey hits two elephants at the same time two monkeys fall.
Better than flappy bird. Way better fun.
This is a great simple game that is fun. Sometimes it can be aggravating but the simplicity keeps bringing you back. It reminds us of old school 80s games where you try to beat your high score and dare your friends to do like wise.
Its a good game similar game to flappy bird but has lots of different mechanics that make it interesting.
It's challenging…but fun…sometimes annoying…coincidence? …we think not.
This games is awesome! We love it… Time flies with this game.
This game is almost as addictive, and frustrating as flappy bird but not quite lol… #10 on the leaderboards, we'll be number 1 soon as long as there are no cheaters.
Just got it and love it. Run little guy.
It is so much fun we can't put is down.
Fun game just to kill 10 mins love it.
It's a time killer, but gets boring really fast.
