Jungle Rumble, by Disco Pixel, is a brightly colored, jungleriffic rhythm game where you must protect your tribe's most precious treasure: bananas! And the game has gotten even more manic with a fresh new update.

Now you get more levels, new mechanics, and the ability to skip to any previously played level to make your questing for medals easier than before. The graphics have also been revamped for display on the iPhone 6 Plus to the iPad Air 2.

Jungle Rumble is available now for $3.99.

What happens when you cross a shoot-em-up with a rhythm game? You get Beat the Beat by Nekki, creators of Shadow Fight 2 and Vector.

You'll be dodging alien gunfire while being bombarded with dub-step beats. The game lets you upgrade your ships to get the firepower you need to defeat the giant bosses. The action in the preview video looks rather frantic and exciting.

Beat the Beat is bringing the beatdown to iOS this summer.

Dark Guardians, the gorgeous rhythm runner game created by Mathieu Akita, has released a new update. The game now has more check points, hero upgrades, bosses, and the touch zones have been expanded for easier play. The update also fixes the “Quit crash” bug, everyone's relief.

You can pick up Dark Guardians today for $0.99 on the App Store.

It’s been a long time coming, but Disco Pixel’s Jungle Rumble is almost upon us!

Jungle Rumble is very much a rhythm game. It’s also kind of a real time strategy game. It’s being described as “Patapon meets Advance Wars” and I have to say it doesn’t seem too far from the truth. Controlling your monkey (or squads of monkeys) is simply a matter of tapping your commands in time with the beat. Move, run, toss coconuts, that sort of thing. The goal was to make an iOS rhythm game that allows the player to make decisions rather than simply trying to stick to a specific script or pattern.

I have to admit Jungle Rumble feels pretty good. It doesn’t necessarily look like it from the screen shots but it really does call to mind games like Patapon in a very pleasant way. I had a little trouble keeping the rhythm at times but I’m fairly certain that had more to do with a noisy show floor than anything. Still, I’m interested in seeing how it plays in a much quieter setting.

Jungle Rumble should be releasing within the next couple of weeks (probably). I didn’t get a set number for the price, but it’s definitely going to be a premium game because the folks at Disco Pixel “don’t want to monkey around with micro-transactions.” Yeah.
