George of the Jungle is a physics based puzzle game from developer PentaLoop. I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the original George of the Jungle character but this game was also originally known as Angry Tarzan. In the game, you play as George and protect your jungle from an angry gorilla who has invaded. Basically, the gorilla has driven everyone out of the jungle so you must wake the beast up in each level to make him leave. You do so by throwing coconuts at him, but you have to first figure out how to get those coconuts to reach him. This is where the puzzler element comes into play. Each level has a series of obstacles you must overcome, but they are presented in a way where you must figure out exactly how to do them in order or you’ll run out of coconuts.

The game itself isn’t very hard to figure out. If you’ve played any physics based games before, it should be easy to get in to. Tap on the screen and drag your finger outwards. The farther away from George you drag, the farther and harder he’ll throw. Drag in the direction you want him to throw and depending on the amount of force, it will also affect the curvature of his throw. As you progress through the levels, you’ll be presented with more and more different kinds of obstacles that you’ll need to use or overcome to reach your goal. It can get pretty challenging and also a bit frustrating at times, but that’s usually the case with games like this.

George of the Jungle is a challenging game but one that is easy to pick up and play. There are a few inconsistencies that I’ve come across with how the physics in this game are presented and sometimes, the way objects move in the game are a bit off, but I’m sure these are all things that can be fixed in updates. Overall though, it’s a decent game but at the moment, there are only about 30 levels you can play through and it doesn’t really take that long to go through all of them. Again, hopefully the game gets some more levels soon in an upcoming update.

George of the Jungle is available now in the App Store for $0.99. It is a universal app and is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.Requires iOS 4.3 or later.
