The Lite version is free, making available seven levels to the curious gamer that ought to be enough for one to have a pretty solid idea on what the game is like in the full version. Version 1.1 of Chimps Ahoy! will come with both audio and gameplay updates.

Chimps Ahoy! is a fast-paced, brick-breaking game where coconuts are bounced back and forth between two player-controlled Chimps on either side of the screen, using the Multi-Touch display. The game features 100 levels full of a variety of enemies and items at which to aim your coconuts. Power-ups like double coconuts and giant beach ball shots add to the action, while unlockable rewards like achievement medals and articles of clothing for the Chimps add replayability.

Well, with the number of iPhones and iPod touch devices that flood the market, it would be prudent to ride the economy of scale wave, but make sure your software stands out enough compared to the hundreds and hundreds of titles available over the Apple App Store.
