WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.0r2 fixed a frequent problem whereby Primate Plunge would not launch. This was to do with Stuffit Expander getting the permissions wrong for the executable, so an updated version has been uploaded in zip format.
REQUIREMENTS

    LUMAN  A very simple, yet excellently executed concept. Simply use the arrow keys to drop from branch to branch as they move up the screen. Some branches will reduce Monkey's health, so you need to keep an eye out, while other branches bounce you back up the screen again.

    Good graphics, sound, control and gameplay.

    Definitely worth the download.

    HINT - If the game fails to launch, Force Quit and try again. Works on my G3,400,B&W.

    IAN LUECK  Simple concept, addicting to play. I like how the platforms vary each time, so you can't just memorize the pattern of falling on them. Plus the background music can put you in a gaming trance. One of the better iDev games in recent memory!

    JOSEPH HUMFREY  To those having trouble launching Primate Plunge - most of the problems have been to do with Stuffit Expander. Make absolutely sure have the most recent version since it is known to screw up the permissions of the executable. Or alternatively, if you know how to use the terminal, cd to "Primate\ Plunge.app/Contents/MacOS/" and then type "chmod +x Primate\ Plunge".

    PHILLIP RYU  The game is fun, but I think it would be better to have the score go up by the number of ledges you hit, thus making it advantageous to try to get as many. It needs more powerups too.

    JEFF  Hilarious fun. It's the type of game anxiety

    I can handle. Love that screaming monkey as he becomes desperate to survive all of the spiny obstacles.
