Banana Kong

FDG Entertainment GmbH & Co.KG is the developer of Banana Kong, a well-designed entertainment which is recommended for fans of side-scrolling games with unique features and a completely thrilling gameplay. Compete with your friends and improve your performance. Keep in mind that it might require a powerful device, older mobiles won't probably work.

Everything works flawlessly, and the whole game feels like a consistent, flawlessly executed ride. Maybe it’s not as graphically awesome as Temple Run, but it still has high-quality, colorful graphics that are a notch above all the usual 2D games. So, if you aren’t sick of infinite runners just yet, it’s a finely done jungle adventure. By the way, the ads are annoying, but pressing the “back” key removes one immediately.

Banana Kong is a reasonably entertaining App Store distraction. It doesn’t commit any major stumbles but it also doesn’t display any ambition. There are other endless runners that have done it all better, faster and with more polish.

Still, it’s tough to resist the charm of Banana Kong and while it’s never going to be as exceptional as the Donkey Kong Country series, it’s a warm, Endless Runner focused alternative.

So if you’ve played a few iOS auto-runners before, there’s not much reason to play Banana Kong unless you’re dying for more of the same. On the other hand, it’s a perfectly enjoyable and decent game that’ll get you through a wait at the doctor’s office, or a long line to get into the zoo (we hear the gorilla exhibit is amazing).

Randomly-generated levels, catchy music, power-ups and other valuable items. None of this makes Banana Kong revolutionary, but it's still a fun running game that'll keep you entertained through life's more boring moments. We would have released it free-of-charge, but for $0.99, it still represents a fine value.
