- Monkey Fruit Fight is launching soon on Android devices.
- This 1v1 competitive platformer is designed for family-friendly play.
- Hurl fruit at rivals and leap to safety to send them flying off the stage.
The mobile space for competitive platformers is quite crowded, as shown by last week's launch of Ultimate Chicken Horse. While that title received mixed reviews, Monkey Fruit Fight might just succeed where the other stumbled.
This is especially impressive considering Monkey Fruit Fight is the work of a solo, self-taught developer. Andreas mastered everything from coding and server infrastructure to animation on his own. That dedication shines through in the game's fast-paced, competitive platforming action.
In short, Monkey Fruit Fight is a rapid 1v1 platformer where you use an arsenal of fruit-based projectiles to knock your opponent off the stage. Jump around and battle in quick 100-second matches, ideal for short bursts of fun during a commute or wait.
Serious family fun
As Andreas noted when sharing details about the game, many family-oriented titles are really made for adults, with maybe some allowance for children already good at gaming. Monkey Fruit Fight aims to break that pattern.
There's real merit to this approach. Family gaming is often synonymous with Nintendo in the public eye. With its straightforward gameplay, quick matches, and appealing retro-style visuals, Monkey Fruit Fight has something to offer both younger and older players.
If Monkey Fruit Fight seems a bit too quaint or old-school for your taste, don't worry—there are plenty of alternatives. You can explore our curated list of the top 25 platformer games on iOS and Android to find your perfect match.
