HULA HOOP FOR YOUR WRISTS
"Sapus Tongue takes the iPhone and turns it into a mini-Wii!" - TouchMyApps, November 12th, 2008.
"We’re generally suckers for an original concept, and Sapus Media’s Sapus Tongue fits the bill." - TouchArcade, November 11th, 2008.
"Sapus Tongue contains very polished music and graphics" - EsferaIphoneApps, November 13th, 2008
The game consists of launching one of two players as far as possible. The players are Sapus, the super-hero toad and Monus, the anti-hero monkey.
Sapus uses his tongue as a launching pivot, and Monus uses his tail.
The game features a NOVEL METHOD of controlling the force with which the gamer launches these cute little animals. To play, the gamer must move the device with rhythm and dexterity, increasing the force with which Sapus and Monus are launched.
The combination of simple yet polished graphics, together with music and light-hearted sound effects make this game one of the funnest, if not THE funnest, available at AppStore. Sapus Tongue appeals to the fun side of adults and children alike.

Customer Reviews
Funny and fun to play
Sapus Tongue is a great example of how production values, accelerometer movement, and hilarious sound effects can make an otherwise idiotic game a lot of fun to play.
Your sole mission is to fling Sapus the frog or Monus the monkey as far as humanly possible. I dunno what these poor animals did to deserve such abuse, but they’re happily hanging from a tree and you need to rotate your iPhone in a swiveling hula-hoop motion to build up speed and then tap the screen to hurl them across the countryside. Speed and angle of release are key, and getting a good combo of both takes some practice. Points are based on distance, so the farther you fling the higher your score.
I’m convinced that if anyone other than Sapus Media had built this game it would be one of the dumbest apps in existence, but Sapus Tongue’s quirky soundtrack sets an amusing tone as soon as you see the menu screen and the rest just kind of falls into place. Everything from the way Sapus and Monus scream as they’re flying through the air to way they’re yanked back to the tree for another round of torture is just plain funny, and it all lends to this game’s oddly addicting quality.
very fun, well priced, quirky sound/music
what's not to like? fun for all ages!
