'Monkey Ropes' review: This endless running game has basic, yet colourful graphics
The only issue is a constant banner ad at the bottom.

This is an arcade-style 2D endless running game with a small twist. Instead of having a single character move through the level, you get two monkeys tied to each other with a rope. The level has pits of varying lengths that you have to jump over — some of them are filled with lava while others have jumping alligators.
Every tap on the screen makes one monkey jump ahead — the longer you tap and hold, the farther he will jump. This makes the game really difficult to play. Not only do you have to be careful about how far you jump, but you also have to be careful about the other monkey.
Less than a year after Android 7.0, Google has announced the next upgrade. It's called Android 8.0 or Android Oreo, in keeping with the trend of alphabetical, snack-themed version names.
There are a host of new features and ET gives you a quick rundown of some of the most prominent ones.

If you make a jump that is too long, the monkey at the other end will get dragged into a pit. And the game ends. There are multiple types of obstacles in each levels and you can also collect coins in each level. Once you have 100 coins, you can use them to buy mystery crates to get more characters.
The graphics are basic but bright and colourful. The only issue is a constant banner ad at the bottom and a full-screen ad after every game. You can choose to remove the ads by purchasing the game for Rs 159.
