Free Monkey Games: 10 Jungle, Ape and Bloons Apps for Android

Free monkey games on Android include jungle runners like Benji Bananas and Banana Kong, Bloons games from ninja kiwi, ape strategy games that need the internet, and gentle monkey care games for children. Seven are rated Everyone. Only one listing here makes an offline claim, and two say they need a connection.

Monkeys make great game characters. They swing, they climb, they cause trouble, and somehow there's always a banana involved. Google Play has a surprising range of them, from cute babysitters to clans of rocket-building apes.

I read the Google Play listing for each of these ten and noted who made it, the installs, the ads and in-app purchases labels, the rating and any offline or online wording. They're listed in no special order.

The ratings range more widely than you'd expect for a monkey list, so the age labels are worth a glance before you install.

Ten monkey games to swing through

Benji Bananas

Swing from vine to vine with Benji the monkey and dodge jungle dangers. It's one of the two most installed games here, with more than 100M.

Banana Kong

Run, jump and swing through jungle and caves to escape a huge banana avalanche. It's the other one with more than 100M installs.

Age of Apes

A clan war strategy game where ape gangs race to launch rockets in search of bananas. Its listing says it needs the internet.

I Am Monkey

Based on a VR game, you play a zoo monkey dealing with visitors from inside the cage. It's rated Teen, the highest rating here.

Ape Chaos

Mutate and level up your apes, then grab and battle foes. It's rated Everyone 10+ and needs a connection.

Bloons Monkey City

Build a monkey city while defending it from bloons, mixing city building with tower defence. It's a deeper game than it looks.

Bloons Supermonkey 2

Super Monkey flies through waves of colourful bloons with a growing set of weapons. It's quick, bright arcade action.

Monkey Mom Baby Shower Party

Help a mother monkey get ready for her baby, from check-ups to a baby shower party. It's pretend play for younger children.

Monkey Games Without Wifi

A vertical jungle drop game whose listing is packed with offline keywords. It shows ads but no in-app purchases label.

Cute Monkey Daycare Adventure

Look after a cute monkey through daily daycare activities and makeovers. Like the game above, it shows ads but no in-app purchases label.

Swinging runners and Bloons

Benji Bananas and Banana Kong are classic jungle runners. You time swings and jumps, and a round lasts as long as your reflexes do. They're easy to explain to anyone.

I build the systems that handle the boring 80 percent, so you get your week back. Done properly, with the human kept in.

The two ninja kiwi games use the Bloons monkeys. Bloons Monkey City is a mix of city building and tower defence, while Bloons Supermonkey 2 is a fast flying shooter.

Ape strategy games and age labels

Age of Apes and Ape Chaos, both from Tap4fun, are war strategy games with clans and battles, and both listings say they need an internet connection. Ape Chaos is rated Everyone 10+. I Am Monkey is rated Teen, and its zoo setting includes rude, mocking visitors.

  • Teen: I Am Monkey.
  • Everyone 10+: Ape Chaos.
  • Everyone: the other eight.
  • Ads but no in-app purchases label: Monkey Games Without Wifi and Cute Monkey Daycare Adventure.

Monkey care games for little ones

Monkey Mom Baby Shower Party and Cute Monkey Daycare Adventure are pretend play: feeding, dressing and party planning. There's nothing to win, which suits younger children. Both show a Contains ads label, so check what the ads look like before a child plays alone.

A note on keyword-heavy listings

Monkey Games Without Wifi has a developer name and description stuffed with offline phrases. It's the only listing here with offline wording, but a listing that reads like a search box can be harder to judge. Open it on Wi-Fi first and see whether it suits you.

More swinging, jumping and strategy

If Benji Bananas and Banana Kong are the favourites, you'll find plenty of similar running and jumping in these parkour games for phone and PC.

For journeys, here's how to find offline games that don't need Wi-Fi, and for an iPad in the family, these free offline games for iPad and tablets are worth a look.
