Reception On release, Famitsu magazine scored the game a 32 out of 40. Kotaku praised the game citing the PlayStation 4 port which was released on PSN in August 2016. IGN gave the game a 9/10: "More than anything, the inescapable level of addiction in COLLECTING monkeys is the overriding reason to not just rent, but to buy and cherish this game". GameSpot gave it an 8.4/10: "The game's relative ease is offset by the sheer number of weird unlockable items, and the end result is a platform game that is, above all, great fun".
