One of the most thoughtful and emotional games I have ever played. Never have I felt so much joy, as I am now able to fly as a Gorilla. Not only is the campain brilliantly crafted, but the endless mode is something all other games should look towards as comparison. My wife left me after I spent all our money gambling in the Gorilla Lottery, but jokes on her. I got a Golden Egg and now I can get a new Gorilla to lift to the skies. Thank you Flying Gorilla for making this absolute masterpiece.
My life was ruined. I had to get my left testicle removed because of the super rad tattoo that i homemade. So my wife left because she wanted to have kids. Then, a few days later, a homeless tetraplegic agressed me in the street and stole my 5€ i was saving for months. But its then that i discovered this app. It gave me the little force that i needed to go on with life. I am now a billionaire, and my ex-wife came back to me, so i crushed my right testicle and said "i thought you wanted kids".
i absolutely LOVED this Flying Gorilla™️, it is one of the best mobile games i have played, i'd even say it's one of the greatest games in general. The character designs and writing are some of the best, it really feels like you have connections with them. The story kept me really interested My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married.
