Nearly two months have passed since the death of Harambe, the gorilla shot and killed at the Cincinnati Zoo after a 3-year-old boy climbed into the gorilla enclosure. Is it too soon to release an app based off of this tragic event?
"Save the Gorilla," created by Evil Tortilla Games, is a free app available for iOS and Android "made in honor" of Harambe.
The goal of the game is to touch and drag loose children at the zoo to their parents to stop them from climbing the gorilla fence, therefore saving the gorilla. Each "wave" increases in difficulty. Make it to wave 20 to experience a "happier" ending.
So far, the reviews for the game have been positive, although the game developers anticipate that they will receive a variety of responses.
Evil Tortilla Games was founded in April 2016 and is more widely known for the creation of Who's Your Daddy, a "casual 1 on 1 video game featuring a clueless father attempting to prevent his infant son from certain death," which is currently available on Steam.
