How it feels

A bright, bouncy arcade platformer that feels like controlling a monkey in a ball through cheerful mazes with deceptively tough precision challenges.

What players say

Players are split on this remake. Some enjoy the nostalgia trip and modding community, but many complain about less precise controls and physics compared to the originals. Controller support is unreliable, and key features like the full soundtrack and animated cutscenes were cut or put behind paid DLC.
