[GAME - IOS] Jungool 1.3

[headkaze]

'Jungool' a physics based platform adventure with a touch of puzzle solving

If you are familiar with the classic iOS game Rolando you may be mistaken into thinking that 'Jungool' is the same sort of game repackaged and set in the jungle. While it does use physics as an important element of the gameplay style, the similarities end there.

You play the role of a rolling ball shaped critter named 'Wagga' and start out at your home village where the Shaman foretells of a darkness looming over the jungle. Something is polluting the plants and animals and the 'young ones' have gone missing, along with the sacret masks. The 'young ones' are the cute and vocal children of the tribe and you must set them free in selected levels.

After the Shaman explains the situation you make your way through a portal and into a training level that has you collecting 'tea herbs' for the Shaman. This is for making a brew that helps him guide you on your mission.

The first level has you crossing a bridge that is blocked by a flame throwing Troll. Some levels require you to pick up a mask to wear that give you special powers like lifting heavy rocks or scaring enemies into a pit. The first mask turns the main character into a goat which is also a clue on how to complete it.

Every level is unique in both its design, graphics and tasks required to finish it. It features 30 levels (5 of which are unlocked by collecting gems) and the difficulty can vary based on how far you are into the game. A few levels turn the game into a pinball simulator which is a welcome variation on the gameplay. This gives the game replay value and the bonus levels have leaderboards that allow you to compete online.

So if you're looking for an original gaming experience with some variation then Jungool is definately worth it. It is written by an Indie developer that has created several distiguished Nintendo DS homebrew titles such as 'Manic Miner in the Lost Levels' and 'Warhawk DS'.

Over a year in development, 'Jungool' is a universal app that recently had a price drop and is currently selling for $3.99 on the App Store.

Congrats guys!

[bkenobi]

Looks cool! Is this an original concept or another remake (if so, what game)?

[Adultery]

Plans for an Android port?

[celly]

I second the Droid port. Looks great congratulations on the release!

[Tom Speirs]

Just bought it. My buddy is having a play on it now

[Draco1962]

Awesome job, guys!

[sparky]

great job!

nice looking game

[Tom Speirs]

Just wanted to rally the troops a little and just mention that if you like to support what GameEx features are about please consider buying the game. Flash and much more significantly Headkaze have been a huge part of making GameEx what it is today in terms of features and its not been possible to compensate them fully for there efforts although I do my best. Its only a couple of dollars but it will give you the chance to vote and/or review the title and help the game get a little more exposure on the app store. I am sure its probably worth the money too. From what Ive seen of it its highly polished with no big learning curve. ie your kids will probably enjoy it even if its not your thing.

[Draco1962]

I'd buy it if I had an iPhone, however, if it becomes available as an Android app, while I don't have an Android phone either, I know quite a few that do and will be glad to spread the word!

[Tom Speirs]

Dont forget its iPad too. ie on the computers for the computer illeterate

[Adultery]

Wait a sec, hold up... iPad apps run on a Windows PC? For real?

Wait, I just missed a joke I think! *confused*

[Tom Speirs]

Nah I just meant it runs on iPads, period. Which are a life saver for people who don't know how to use computers.

[Adultery]

Ahh bummer! I was ready to start snagging apps for the cab! Ha!

[wahoo]

The game looks cool. Great job guys!

[Stub]

Android port! I have cash!

I imagine you could snag some Android and possibly iPhone stuff and run it through an SDK - most have testing emulators.

[Kustom Kid]

Thanks for the promo codes, headkaze. I took JEYL6EF3RPKA. I'll post a review when I get a chance to really sit down and play. I got to play a few minutes tonight and it was pretty enjoyable. My screen protector is jacked, so I need to pick up a new one. Exactly where the movement control on the left side is my protector is warped. It made controlling the character somewhat difficult.

Also, in order to redeem from your phone you need to go to "Featured" then scroll down to redeem, then enter the code. It took me about 5 minutes to find it.
