Ratings and reviews

It's Monkey Ball on your phone with gyro controls. Pretty good for what it is. I paid to not have ads. The main game is played in sets of 10 levels, level 5 is always a bonus, and progress is saved at the end of the set. So it's not for super short sessions. Players can then start at level 10, or 20, or 30, or so on as long as previous levels have been cleared. Physics behave fine in the main game, but unexpectedly in the minigames whenever the ball rolls to a stop.

It's absolutely infuriating that the tilt of the game is based on some fixed point and not what your phone position is at the start of the level. Incredibly weird and frustrating. Other than that major issue it lives up to the classic games, albeit with lower graphics.

Tilt the screen to control your monkey ball. Controls are not nearly as good as on the GameCube, but the game is still playable once you adjust. Luckily, they made the stages easier than the earlier versions to accommodate the control scheme. You get extra stages and charming visuals and music. Some stages will challenge you pretty well, but the controls make getting perfects too aggravating. If you already played this series on the GameCube or can't get a GameCube, this is a good time.
