Gobble Monkey — Real-Time Maze Chase Game for Kids

Gobble Monkey

For parents

What this teaches

Gobble Monkey is a kid-safe take on the maze-chase classic. Your child swipes to steer a hungry monkey through a maze, gobbling every banana while dodging the ghosts that roam the corridors. Grab the pulsing mango and the whole game flips — the ghosts turn blue and flee, and for a few seconds the monkey is the one doing the chasing. The first levels have no ghosts and no clock so little ones learn to steer; ghosts, then a mango power-up, then more and faster ghosts arrive one at a time. From level 9 the mazes are generated endlessly and grow with your child, so the climb never runs out. There's no harsh 'you lost' — bump a ghost and the monkey just bounces back to the start with a gentle wobble.
