Play Lucky Monkey (Japan) Online
You're a tiny monkey dodging snakes and rolling boulders to swipe jungle treasures—simple controls, sneaky traps, and that perfect Game Boy jank.
Lucky Monkey is a Japan-only Game Boy release from 1990, developed by KID and published by Irem. It arrived during the handheld's early years, a time when many developers were still figuring out how to design compelling, compact adventures for the small screen. The game fits right into that experimental period, offering a straightforward platforming challenge without much fanfare.
You control a small monkey navigating through a series of single-screen jungle stages. Your goal is to collect all the bananas in each stage while avoiding enemies like snakes and rolling boulders. The main mechanics involve precise jumping, pushing blocks to create paths or trigger traps, and sometimes using vines to swing across gaps. The pacing is methodical; you often have to study the layout before making a move because one wrong step can mean starting over. It feels like a careful, sometimes tense puzzle where every action matters.
