Funky Rhythm RTS Hybrid Available
Now in the App Store
Boston - May 1, in the year of our Lord 2014 -
Gamers, drummers and monkey lovers can now go the App Store for
Disco Pixel's engaging rhythm RTS hybrid Jungle Rumble: Freedom,
Happiness, and Bananas.
Players drum on the screen of their iOS device and the jungle
erupts in madness! Gamers use a rhythmic grammar to send the
monkeys into the fray and save the tribe's bananas from an
invading clan. When primates need instructions - where to move
or who to attack - players can't just follow the script; they
have to employ strategy!
The game begins when the Mofongo tribe realizes their bananas
are being pilfered by the rival Kagungas. Gamers must lead the
Mofongo to victory. In the process, they discover the cause of
invasion is not a rivalry between factions, but people
bulldozing the rainforest - the true evil stealing both tribes'
jungle home.
Jungle Rumble: Freedom, Happiness, and Bananaskeeps players
moving to the music like a crazed conga line, which was actually
Disco Pixel's inspiration for the title. The game is accessible
to anyone who has ever kept a beat with a pen, but has enough
difficulty to make hardcore gamers sweat.
"I love rhythm games, but why are they always following a
script?" Trevor Stricker, president, Disco Pixel, said. "I like
games where the player makes meaningful decisions - where gamers
have tradeoffs between weak-but-quick and strong-but-slow. In
Jungle Rumble the player is consumed by drumming while making
decisions about the tribe's strategy. Gamers get hypnotized and
lose themselves in the rhythms."
Game Features
Dynamic soundtrack - music swells in intensity in response to
the player
Massive jungle - drum through tons of levels set on three
separate themed regions: sunny Juba Falls, dark Kagunga Forest
and the devastated Nadges Corp. Factory
Crazy cartoon art-style
Epic quest - a main storyline that takes hours to finish and
multiple bonus levels to keep completionists busy
Free to play? If gamers got the money, honey, they are welcome
to Jungle Rumble: Freedom, Happiness, and Bananas for $3.99 USD.
After that gamers are free to play all they want! The game does
not monkey around with micro transactions.
Jumping into the app store does not mean the fat monkey has
sung. Disco Pixel is planning lots of updates: new levels to
showcase advanced strategy, a level editor to allow players to
author their own designs and an Android version.
