Monkey Labour, which was nicely reviewed by Touch Arcade (and holds a combined score of 75 on Metacritic), has been lifting some steam lately. It has been nominated for Mobile Premier Awards, one of the few games to do so. We've also been shortlisted under best mobile arcade games of 2011 on JayIsGames, in the company of such greats as Tiny Wings, Jetpack Joyride and Forget-Me-Not. To challenge players beyond the mobile world, we decided to make the old-school gameplay available on Windows and Mac OS X as well.
