Super Chimp Surprise! is a matching game based on various "chimp-themed" playing pieces. A simple way to describe it would be to say that it's a Bejeweled clone.

Every time you eliminate pieces, more come down and you gain points each time. When there are no more single-move matches to be made, the game is over.
