DeVuego

Baboon! isn’t a bad game. It just feels like it could’ve been a more ambitious, and therefore interesting, game. I recommend it if you want a fun and difficult time-waster, but don’t expect to be gripped on playing it constantly – unless of course, this is exactly your kind of game.

Overall the game’s classic approach is both an asset and a curse. At best, Baboon! is a homage to old school 2D platformers that will leave you feeling nostalgic. At worst, the game feels like a dated throwback that just won’t tick the box for some modern gamers.
