Gameplay
The game is played on a mobile device held vertically. The player drums on monkeys to control them, with different patterns for moving and attacking.[1] Consistently moving builds "mojo" which increases the player's power.[2] Enemy monkeys attack and the player must strategize to avoid being overrun.[3]
The pattern tapped on the screen specifies the action and the objects tapped on specify what performs the action. The player continuously drums on things in the jungle in order to play the game. Designer Trevor Stricker has called this a "Rhythmic Grammar".[4]
