Bug Fixes!
Jungle Adventure: Tribe Boy is a classic 2D platformer that wears its inspirations (like Super Mario and Adventure Island) on its sleeve. You play as a young tribe member running through various jungle, desert, and mountain environments to save your village. It’s a very straightforward, 'retro' experience that focuses on jumping, collecting fruit, and bopping enemies on the head.
The controls are simple and responsive, which is vital for some of the trickier platforming sections. While it doesn't reinvent the genre, the level design is varied enough to stay interesting, and the boss fights provide a nice challenge. It’s a great, family-friendly game for anyone who wants a pure platforming experience without the complexity of modern RPGs or gacha mechanics.
Classic retro platforming gameplay
Diverse worlds: Jungle, Desert, Snow
Challenging boss encounters
Simple and intuitive controls
Many levels have hidden blocks or secret pipes that lead to bonus areas filled with fruit and coins. If you see a suspicious-looking wall or a high ledge, try to reach it—often, these paths lead to extra lives.
Look for special items that allow the tribe boy to throw rocks or fireballs. These are essential for taking out armored enemies and bosses from a safe distance without risking a direct jump.
There are over 80 levels spread across several distinct themed worlds.
I had a lot of fun playing this game. The ads didn’t bother me. They gave me time to reflect on why I couldn’t pass the level and progress. The only problem: I found all 3 stars on level 24 but it wont give me the credit. I’ve played with different characters and found all three but still will only get credit for only 2 stars. Then, I can’t find the third star in level 198. 😟
If I could rate this game as a minus 10, I would - because of the almost-constant appearance of ads. I started out liking it, in large part because it reminds me of a similar game with 2 Italian brothers, a much less convoluted version of that game’s current edition. However, within the last week, I have come to hate this game because there are so many ads, which distracts and detracts from the game. For example, there is an ad after the first jump that Tribe Boy makes, literally after he jumps and before he completes the jump. That is ridiculous. Also, the speed of the program is too slow in moving from the ads to the course. So - I am done. As soon as I finish this review, I will delete this ad-filled “game”. It is not a game, really: it’s only a screen for showing ads. Don’t waste your time.
I was in the middle of a game when all of a sudden tribe boy popped up looked interesting so I downloaded it and gave it a try so far so good but like i said in the beginning ads of other games pop up so distracting when your in the middle of a game but I like the face that I can interact with the games to see if I like . But I’m disappointed as well because I can’t play my game all the way though . But good selling point. It works🤔
The game is really wonderful but you have ads write below the arrow keys. I lost a life, my stars, AND my Dino. I just stopped playing. I was distracted several times however losing my Dino was terrible. If you fix this I’ll make it five stars and edit my review. You can play ads every three min. It’s just a suggestion. Pls remove the place of the ads.
I downloaded the game because I saw an ad for it and it looked fun, and the game is, and if you want to pay for the game to be ad free then the game is tons of fun, however from the “free to play” side, it had a constant ad banner that block the bottom part of the screen, and it never goes away. You will die multiple times from unseen enemies or spike falls due to this, I am not against ads, just a constant banner that blocks the screen is terrible, why not just play an ad after you complete a level or two, it makes no sense. It ruins a game that could be honestly pretty good
The idea of this game looks great, but it’s impossible to play. There’s a banner ad at the bottom of the screen right under the gameplay controls and it ruins the experience. In just the tutorial level alone I accidentally clicked the banner ad rather than the “jump button” taking me out of the app several times. And when I click back into the game… another ad. I don’t mind watching ads for free games, but keep them away from the in game controls, it’s frustrating.
Yeah it is a Mario-ish, game. But that’s because we cannot get Mario on our phones. (We get a crappy version that’s nothing like the control of it you had when you were a kid, thanks Nintendo). This game is great it saw a whole in the market and filled it. I just cannot stand that I have to watch ads for everything. Force me to buy coins, to purchase upgrades or make me pay for no ads! I will do it. Get rid of the ads PLEASE!
With no physical buttons on the iPhone it’s not as practical as a game boy, plus only some of the levels were a good challenge for an adult who likes video games. Most were way too easy (clearly a kids game) and maybe one or two were borderline impossible if you wanted to find all 3 stars. Also way too many commercials. I play with the internet turned off which means I can’t use any of the additional features.
