Their debut was <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=304649826&#038;mt=8\" Target=\"_Blank\">Dapple<\/a>, earlier this year. A simple match-3 type puzzler which seemed to strike a cord with the App Store crowd, almost immediately.

Clue as to how the graphical nature of the game might play out? From my first impressions, I&#8217;m thinking game play will replicate (or be similar to) something like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glu.com\/noram\/pages\/spacemonkey.aspx\" Target=\"_Blank\">Glu<\/a>&#8216;s Space Monkey [<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=284419048&#038;mt=8\" Target=\"_Blank\">App Store<\/a>].<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the press release:<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n\u201cI\u2019m very excited to be announcing Monkeys in Space: Escape to Banana Base Alpha,\u201d\u009d said Owen Goss, founder of Streaming Colour Studios. \u201cThis is a very different style of game from our first game, <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewSoftware?id=304649826&#038;mt=8\" Target=\"_Blank\">Dapple<\/a>.
