The iOS platform is a fantastic space for creative games, but every once and a while it can be a bit difficult to classify them. Gorilla Gondola is a new title for the platform, and it falls somewhat into this category. Essentially a variant of the platforming genre, it's a simple game that comes off as rather charming and a refreshing change of pace from the constant deluge of business simulations and zombie apps. That said, it's far from perfect, containing some frustrating "platform" sequences coupled with a rather harsh fail mechanic.
Man it's gotta be fun to be someone who comes up with ideas for a game. I swear they must have dozens of dart boards all over an office, and coffee mugs full of darts to just pick up and throw in any direction on a whim. I mean, how else do you get to place where your protagonist is a gorilla riding a ski gondola through outer space? The folks over at Electric Pixel Factory must have had a blast the day they came up with that exact situation for their debut game Gorilla Gondola.
