Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
The best thing about Monkey Ninja is the simplicity. The gameplay and graphics are like that of an arcade game and we love it. Its a perfect way to kill time. We remember playing the game as a kid, and we reinstalled it today to pass time in high school. A suggestion would be to perhaps make a level creator. Itll help make it more replayable and maybe even an option to publish your custom levels with the world would be cool too. We know it might be hard to make but if you ever run out of ideas just remember ours.
We were playing this game while we were watching Shawn K destroy a dryer. It was so much fun that we did the same thing again. It reminds us of our childhood. Overall, it's our most favorite game we've ever played.
This game is a edgy way to pass the time! We really love how it gradually gets harder and harder! Genius.
This game is very hard, but we love it! On our old phone we managed to pass all the levels! Thank you! – Emma.
A great way to pass the time! Simple yet complex at the same time.
It's a little hard.. But it's so much fun. You'll know that you got what you paid for.
Lots of fun , sometimes frustrating ,but in an awesome way. Love it.
Donut games makes great games. This one is too.
Starts off easy, with text tutorials, but certainly ramps up in difficulty. Like with several other Donut Games where you automatically keep moving forward, timing is everything. However, the different abilities does give this a bigger flair and variety than say… Rat On A Scooter.
Beginning is a bit boring but then it gets challenging and addicting.
If you like retro, and you like arcade, and you like awesome games – this one is for you! Apsolutely no negatives.
Easy at first but gets more chalengung.
It's a very addictive game! We're stuck on some parts but at least you don't have to earn you're own protection suit thing -5stars!-.
This game is super addicting and super fun.
Excellent challenge — easy enough to progress, but much more time/effort to 3-star. Well worth the price — still playing weeks after purchase.
This game is soooooo awesome!!!! Totally addicting.
Exactly what we need to prevent Alzheimer's. Keeps your brain hopping just like ninja boy.
Simple to learn, gets hard, tons of fun.
We have had this game for years now.
Best game ever you need to get it.
Fun and hard cant beat it in a day.
It is a fun game u get nice easy levels in the beginning but then they get hard and there is over 40 levels of fun.
We've always liked donut games, and this is another fun one to play. Just needs a little better graphics lol.
Asking for stars all the time… Annoying.
Hope its fun we are down loading it know it looks fun.
It's So easy and when we make a mistake we just win.
Listen up, Monkey ninja and all the other donut games are the best they are the only games we play!!:) Good game.
A lot is to be said about the enjoyment of a simple game. Today we feel almost too many games are overly animated. This simple game allows for the player to focus on the "rhythm" of the game. Zero advertisements allow for a nice flow of concentration and mindless competition. One improvement we would like to see is possibly, having the money have a friend with completely different skills and needs, who also has go make it's way through the maze.
Love this game and it is very challenging.
We love playing this game, it is mindless and fun and everyone in our family can and does play.
Love the ninja style and it might be a little complicated, but it's all worth the fun and thinking.
Great game. Hoping to find more with similarly challenging aspects.
Great game,! Has us hooked already and we're a grandma of the age of 66.
Our son loves to play this game. Keeps him entertained.
Well, sometimes we get stressed out about it… But, we still love it haha duh! Hahahah!…ya. There's lots of levels! But, keep Rockin.
We like all Donut Games. But this is the best.
Extremely addictive. So much fun.
Simply fun puzzles great for passing time or exercising hand-eye coordination. Enjoyable for all ages and levels of intellect; puzzles are not overly difficult but provide enough stimulation to keep play interesting. Perfect for filling downtime, easy to start, pause, and resume game at any stage of play. Streamline, clean graphics are a welcome visual alternative to other overly flashy games that add little value to game play. Battery and memory friendly for uses of earlier model iPhone or similar devices. Reminiscent of favorite childhood games played on the once very popular Commodore 64 or Atari game systems.
This game is awesome buy it as soon as possible.
Hilarious, fun, and entertaining.
Donut Games best game yet. Love it.
A wise monkey once said " eat banana". Another wise monkey said " play monkey ninja".
Great. Fun. And unlike most games, challenging:) we love this app and definitely recommend it to everyone!! It's worth the price.
Super fun. Super clever. Super cute. A great variation on the donut game classics.
This game is awesome make more ninjas.
Awesome game, and a really good time killer.

This game is fun and hard it sure had a cool twist to it and once you start playing it you will never stop so go ahead and get this game you no u want to do it and it's so worth it's price.
We hope you move instead of a summer -salt.
A game where you are a monkey who is a ninja. There are 80 levels and you try to get through each level with the least mistakes. You have special moves too. The most point you can get in each level is 30. Each mistake subtracts a point. Overall, this is a fun game for all ages. -Metis our sisters comment: Monkey ninja totally ROCKS!! WOOO! GO MONKEY NINJA! ALRIGHT!!!!! Let's do some monkey business! YEAH!! We <3 monkey ninja! Monkey it up!! Go Monkey ninjas!! (-.-) you eated our cookie didn't you monkey? :D That is our review.
