The gameplay is generally considered fun and engaging at first, featuring unique mechanics like a trampoline and a bubble shooter style, but it suffers from numerous bugs that hinder progress and a grind that many find excessive. While the controls are designed for mobile use, they feel less suited for PC, leading to a lack of engagement and irritation for some players. Overall, the game has potential but is marred by technical issues and repetitive mechanics.
- “For the gameplay, the mouse is used as a simulation of the finger you would normally use to activate the hammocks on the mobile phone, which serves as slings, in order to launch the monkey to hit and collect bananas.”
- “But overall, I liked the theme and gameplay.”
- “The game itself is quite fun and even enjoyable at first; a different bubble shooter mechanic is at work here.”
- “The trampoline gameplay mechanic gets old pretty quickly.”
- “The game itself is quite fun and even enjoyable at first, a different bubble shooter mechanic is at work here, but what kills the game is the grind; in my opinion, it's overboard and should have been scaled back.”
- “As for the gameplay, I honestly found it to be irritating and cumbersome as I played through the 'gem quest'.”

The story aspect of the game is described as lacking a coherent narrative, with players primarily motivated by unlocking new stages rather than a compelling plot. While the graphics and animations are praised, the gameplay mechanics, such as the item system and timed missions, detract from the overall experience.
- “Great story, great graphics even on potato, amazing animations.”
- “There's not really a storyline in place, so your only reason to keep playing would be to keep unlocking more stages to beat, but that would only work if the gameplay was rock solid.”
- “The item system is useless, as they are only one-use items (no permanent upgrades), and the timed missions are also bad, as they are much too difficult, and some of the animations trigger which waste time and you cannot continue jumping.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious and frustrating, particularly due to finicky controls and the time required to earn power-ups. The need to repeatedly wait for characters to reposition adds to the overall sense of monotony in the grinding experience.
- “There are power-ups available to purchase to help get through different stages and challenges, though they require a lot of grinding to purchase.”
- “Waiting for the chimp to roll back into position is tedious, as it can take a while to bounce around the terrain and get onto the catapult before you're able to launch it again.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while the soundtrack is appreciated, it is noted that there is a lack of in-game music during levels, with only basic drum beats present in the menus. Overall, the audio experience is considered limited and could benefit from more engaging musical elements.
- “The soundtrack is nice, but the gameplay can feel a bit lengthy.”
- “The menu features an achievement fanfare, but the overall music experience is lacking during gameplay.”
- “The menu is only in achievement fanfare (upon unlocking an achievement... log out of the game to really unlock it), and for menus, there is just a basic drum beat. There is no music when playing the actual levels.”
- “The audio is okay, but there's no in-game music.”

- “Funny game :)”

There is a strong sentiment that such practices are unacceptable and undermine the gaming experience.
- “Mobile developers must learn that PC gamers are not here to be gouged. They can't be expected to pay a premium for a free iPhone app just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam as a despicable cash grab.”
