Sling Kong - An enjoyable climb

| Sling Kong

Primate-themed endless climber Sling Kong sees you touch and drag to fling your monkey up a mountain. You're leaping past buzz saws, explosions, and other tricksy obstacles.

The hooks you clamber onto deactivate after a while, and the obstacles become more widespread and dangerous the higher up the mountain you get.

This, when combined with a jungle soundtrack that accelerates over time, means stress levels intensify as you progress, leading to a pounding crescendo when you finally, inevitably, meet your demise.

Narrow misses are exhilarating, and crucially failure is always down to you, not the game.

Unfortunately the thrills dissipate into absent-mindedness rather soon, but Sling Kong is enjoyable while it lasts.

Sling Kong - An enjoyable climb

The clever marriage of satisfying mechanics and exciting sound design, together with a free to play model as unobtrusive as you'll find, makes this a very enjoyable climb indeed
