Dare the Monkey is an arcade-style platformer from the studio Hot Right Now LTD. You play as Dare, a small monkey who runs, jumps and rolls through a series of levels packed with obstacles and traps. The game runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Apple Watch.
What Dare the Monkey is for
It’s a reflex game. A single tap makes the monkey jump at the right moment, so anyone can pick it up in seconds, but the levels soon get demanding. Checkpoints let you resume partway through a level instead of starting over. On Apple Watch the game launches right on your wrist for a session of a few minutes.
Who is it for?
It suits fans of old-school platformers looking for short sessions on the bus or in a waiting room. It’s also fine for children, as the App Store rates it 4+. Players who hate replaying a tough section again and again may find it frustrating.
Download Dare the Monkey safely
Dare the Monkey is only distributed through Apple’s App Store, and the official site, darethemonkey.com, links straight to that listing. The download is free; the game shows ads and offers in-app purchases, for instance to remove the ads, unlock a character or get extra checkpoint restarts. Avoid copies offered on other websites.
