If you're looking for an iPhone or iPad game that's both kid-friendly and challenging enough for adults, Baby Money (going backwards on a pig) by Kihon Games is just the game. It's the perfect game for families to share and compete with each other.
Baby Monkey was inspired by the viral YouTube video of a baby monkey going backwards on a pig. The video features a super-catchy song by Parry Gripp, which is also the soundtrack for the game. After only a few seconds of play, you'll be singing the tune. But you won't mind that it's stuck in your head! The song almost never gets old.
The way the game works is you control both the monkey and the pig. The left button makes the monkey jump and the right button makes the pig jump. You can also make them jump higher with some combinations of the two. This is an endless runner, so the goal is to get as far as you can before dying. You also need to collect bananas, jump over obstacles, and make sure the monkey is in the air when the pig crashes into hurdles. You'll encounter all sorts of obstacles, ranging from Nom Nom Hamsters to witches, zombies and even space unicorns!
Besides bananas, there are also coins, or Monkey Bucks, to collect. With these coins, you can purchase costumes (such as the Halloween costume and Super Monkey costume) that offer bonuses, as well as wings that allow you yo continue a game once when you die. If you need more coins, there are also Tapjoy offers, where you can earn Monkey Bucks for watching a short video or signing up for a service. You can also support the developers buy purchasing Monkey Bucks through IAPs.
The 2D graphics are top-notch and visually pleasing. The cuddly critters' facial expressions are adorable enough to keep you coming back for more just when you thought you had enough. The pig is fiercely trying to buck the monkey off his back, and when he succeeds you'll see stars circle the monkey's dazed head.
The developers also add holiday themes to the game, such as Halloween and Christmas. If you buy the costumes with Monkey Bucks, you can see the dynamic duo dressed festively as they run through holiday-inspired background. The Christmas trees and jack-o-lanterns even pop up in the regular theme to add variety.
Baby Monkey has plenty to offer, especially for fans of endless runners. If you're looking for a family-friendly game with adorable critters and a fun theme song, look no further than Baby Monkey (going backwards on a pig). How can anyone pass up on a game with a name like that?
