## Plot

Similar to the film, Ham III, grandson of Ham, the first chimpanzee in space, teams up with fellow spacemates Luna and Titan on a space adventure to an unknown planet.

## Gameplay

The player plays two characters, Ham and Luna, defeating enemies in order to defeat Zartog and save their friend, collecting gumdrop-shaped objects called Globhoppers as well as bananas along the way.

Collecting enough Globhoppers and bananas unlocks rewards such as character concepts, artwork, and videos as well as a deleted scene from the movie in which the director of the film, Kirk DeMicco, plays with actual monkeys.[4]

## Reception

The game received “mixed or average reviews” on all platforms except the PlayStation 2 version, which received “generally unfavorable reviews” according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[5][6][7][8][9]
