Free gorilla games on Google Play come in three kinds: endless runners, talking pet gorillas for younger children, and fighting or survival sims for older players. All ten here are free to install. Ratings run from Everyone to Teen, so check the label before handing one to a child.
Gorillas have a habit of turning up in games, from old arcade cabinets to modern phone runners. There's something irresistible about a huge ape crashing through the jungle.
I read the Google Play listing for each of these games and noted the developer, the install count, the content rating, the ads and in-app purchases labels, and any offline wording. They're in no special order.
The spread is wide. Some are gentle enough for a preschooler, and some involve a lot of punching, so the ratings column in the table matters more here than on most lists.

Ten gorillas to play as
Flying Gorilla: Endless Runner
An endless runner with a gorilla that flies, which its listing admits shouldn't work. You swipe through a ridiculous jungle, dodge odd obstacles and collect bananas.
Ape Runner Evolution
Start as a small ape and evolve into a mighty gorilla as you run. Growing as you go is the hook.
Apes Fighting Game
A jungle arena fighter where gorillas, chimps and other apes battle. It's rated Everyone 10+ and shows no Contains ads label.
The Gorilla
Play as a forest gorilla, exploring the wilderness and a nearby island. It's an animal survival sim, rated Everyone 10+.
Talking Gorilla
Meet Kong, a virtual pet gorilla who repeats what you say in a funny voice. Its listing even slips in a few gorilla facts.
My Talking Gorilla
Another talking pet gorilla that answers in a funny voice and reacts when you touch it. It shows ads but no in-app purchases label.
Apes Fighting Gorilla Game sim
A simple ape fighting sim where you take on rival monkeys and eat bananas to power up. Rated Everyone 10+.
Hybrid Gorilla: Urban Rampage
A gorilla escapes a lab and rampages through a city to free other animals. It shows ads but no in-app purchases label.
Giant Gorilla Fight: Ape Sim
A giant gorilla battle sim where you fight enemies and rival apes. It's rated Teen, the only one here with that rating.
Gorilla Fight Zombies Puzzle
A gorilla, a monkey and a unicorn take on zombies by aiming a super banana. It's a puzzle shooter rather than a fighter, and rated Everyone.
Runners, pets and fighters
Flying Gorilla and Ape Runner Evolution are endless runners: quick, silly and easy to pick up. Talking Gorilla and My Talking Gorilla are virtual pets that repeat what you say, which young children find hilarious.

The fighting and survival games, including Apes Fighting Game, The Gorilla and Giant Gorilla Fight, are for older players. They're about battles and dominance in the jungle.
Which gorilla game for which age
- Under-tens: the two talking gorillas, Flying Gorilla, Ape Runner Evolution and the zombie puzzle game are rated Everyone.
- Ten and up: the ape fighters, The Gorilla and Hybrid Gorilla are rated Everyone 10+.
- Teens: Giant Gorilla Fight is rated Teen.
- Ads: every game except Apes Fighting Game shows a Contains ads label.
Talking pets and little ones
Talking gorilla apps listen and repeat, so they'll use the device's microphone. That's how they work, but it's worth knowing before a toddler takes the tablet to the other room.
My Talking Gorilla shows no in-app purchases label, which makes it a simpler choice for small children.
Before the gorilla gets loose
- Check the content rating on the listing.
- Turn on approval for in-app purchases.
- Play a minute yourself to see how much fighting there is.
- Decide whether ads between rounds are acceptable.
- Keep runners and pets for younger children.
