Cheery Chimp

The chimp starts at the top and can't move on its own — it only falls. Drag across the ground to dig a tunnel, and let gravity carry the chimp down into its nest.

You can't undo a dig, so think before you carve. If a run goes wrong, just restart — it's instant.

Digging

1. Press and drag on the dirt to carve a channel. The chimp will roll and fall through whatever you open up.
2. Gravity does the rest. The chimp barely rolls on flat ground, so guide it with mostly downward paths — steep beats shallow.
3. Reach the nest to finish the level. On levels with more than one chimp, get as many home as the level asks for.

The Ground

Dirt

The ordinary ground, and the only thing you can dig. Carve straight through it.

Rock

Solid and impossible to dig. You have to route around it — and nothing can break it, so it's the one barrier that always holds.

Honey

The chimp sinks straight through it, but slowly. It costs you time, not access — sometimes the honey route is the only clear one, sometimes it's the slow one you'd rather avoid.

Web

A pale lattice that holds the chimp but can't be dug. Light enough for the chimp to rest on — you'll need something heavier to tear through it (see the coconut).

Thorns

Deadly — never let the chimp touch them. They can't be dug either, so a thorn wall is a hard "no": find the gap.

On the Level

Bananas

Optional treats. You don't need them to finish a level, but grabbing them on the way down is worth extra — often a small detour off the fast line.

Coconut

Heavy. It falls, rolls, and shoves the chimp — and crucially, its weight tears through a web the chimp can't. Drop it down a shaft to punch a hole, then send the chimp after it.

Dig its shaft a little wider than the coconut, or it wedges.

Spider

Also deadly to the touch. It patrols back and forth along a fixed path — it won't chase you, so watch its route and time the chimp past it.

Good to Know

• Down, not across. The chimp hardly rolls, so long flat stretches strand it. Keep your tunnels steep.
• Rock and thorns can't be dug — plan around them from the top.
• One coconut can clear several webs if it keeps falling down the same shaft.
• Restarting is free. Since digs are permanent, treat each level as a puzzle: try, learn the shape, restart, solve it.
