For a game that looks like shovelware from the outside and is centered around only a singular gimmicky mechanic the game isn't that bad. Was surprised how much there was to do to 100% it, and the game itself actually acknowledges you going above and beyond and doing everything, which few games do and I really like that. Besides for that it's not like some hidden gem crazy experience, its just alright.
It DOES have krool though so that makes it a 5/5 immediately.

Dad brought me on a pheasant hunting trip when I was 6 or 7. Since I was too young for hunting, I stayed inside, where the girl who lived there handed me a DS with this game. She tried showing me over and over how to play the game, but I couldn't see her pressing L and R buttons, so naturally I never made it very far. I will not be returning to this game.
I initially wasn't planning on playing Jungle Climber after I had a middling experience with King of Swing, but I said "screw it" and caved in. This is a MUUUUCH better game.
Not only does it bring in more elements from the Country series (Diddy, Kong Letters, Banana Coins, DK Coins), Jungle Climber ditches the floatiness in favor of speed and action akin to the Country games. Leaping and swinging off pegboards felt satisfying as hell. The music is really nice too! The visuals aren't super great but I grown to like them alot as I played and the backgrounds are very nice.
Jungle Climber is a fairly gimmicky game, but it makes up for it with all the challenge, improvements, unlockables, etc. I was wrong for judging this game for how it looked and what I thought of King of Swing, it's a fun time!
