Review Conditions
PeeMonkey Toilet Trainer was installed on a Nokia 5800, a Symbian 9.4, S60 5th edition device.
Installation
Installation is via the Ovi Store. Just select the URL, that is sent to the mobile from the Ovi Store via SMS, and installation begins.
First Look
With over one million downloads in the iTunes Store in 2009, PeeMonkey Toilet Trainer from happylatte and Beiz Ltd comes with a huge reputation to the Symbian S60 platform. Lets see how it goes.
Game Play
PeeMonkey has a simple goal for the Toilet Trainer. A monkey with an unstoppable bladder is sitting on a slippery cake of soap is trying to pee into the toilet. But the slippery soap is making him slide back and forth the wall as he is peeing all over. Your goal is to make sure the monkey pees into the toilet. A watermark indicates how much longer you can train the monkey.
With a simple plot, the game keeps interest levels high as you play longer, by making it more difficult to direct the peeing into the toilet. The peeing speed is measured in km/h. When the game starts, the monkey pees at 1 km/h and the speed increases constantly. I could go upto 30 km/h after which the watermark is breached.
Scores at the end of a game can be submitted to the online database. There are some unbelievable scores out there. But unfortunately, I couldn’t submit my score because every time I clicked submit, the application got killed.
Graphics and animation
There is little scope for great graphics or animation but the little animation of the water level or the pee flow is quite realistic.
Music Score & Sound Effects
Only a single track is used in the background during the game but then the duration of each game doesn’t go beyond a few minutes so it doesn’t get boring to listen to it all the time. There is no option to disable sounds, so keep it low when you play in a crowded place.
Interface
PeeMonkey can only be played in the landscape mode. The application automatically rotates to the landscape mode and doesn’t throw an error if you go back to landscape mode. I have seen other games like SIMS3 that can only be played in the portrait mode and will throw a warning if you accidentally go to the landscape mode. All game operations is using the built in accelerometer on the Nokia 5800.
Conclusion
With a game play that simple but engaging, PeeMonkey Toilet Trainer is a great time killer when you are on a long commute or waiting in a line. I hope the bug in the submit is solved soon.
For just 3 Euro, PeeMonkey Toilet Trainer is great bargain and can be downloaded at the Ovi Store. Its good stuff and I’ll give it 4 of 5.
