Another hot iOS property has landed in the Zune Marketplace, following the previous week’s Xbox Live-enabled I Dig It.

This week it’s the turn of Gamehouse’s original Tiki Towers, a game that managed to pinch a Pocket Gamer Gold Award from our lunchboxes and rush off with it laughing manically (as monkeys do) when it was first released in 2009.

Tiki Towers is a physics-based bridge-building game in which the player has to construct a number of (unstable) structures so that a box-full of mischievous monkeys can reach an exit placed well out of reach.

Naturally, this isn’t quite as easy as it sounds, mainly thanks to the range of decidedly deadly obstacles such as lava and gaping chasms standing in their way.

Oh, and the fact that the bridges themselves are subject to some punishing physics never helps, either.

Tiki Towers is out now on the Zune Marketplace for £2.49. We’ll be dispatching a reporter to live with our closest animal brethren, learn that they're not very different from ourselves, and then write a tear-jerking account of their time with their newly-adopted 'family' shortly.

Or alternatively, we'll get them to send us a review.
