Jan 16, 2014 Update
I still have a handful of codes for anyone who didn't get to try my game out the first time I posted codes. There have been some updates but mostly I'm starting to work on a new game so I just want to get rid of these codes!
Tutorial Needed!
You REALLY need to press the Joystick at leat 50 - 75% up the screen to jump high. The general consensus is this is not obvious and people aren't jumping as high as they should be like in my video.
It is so important to use the full range of the joystick to jump up places. Don't just press it to the edge of the circle it goes past the EDGE
Mugen the monkey is a pirate looking for treasure! Help him and his friends explore huge new worlds to find secret Dead Mans Chests. Play in a world of beaches, jungles, caverns and NOW a giant pumpkin world with flying ghosts! Can you save the Great Pumpkin Seed and find all the treasure!?!?
360 degree - 3D character control to explore vast 3D worlds!
Run fast to jump high and spin through the worlds with the Spin Attack!
No locked views!!! Ultimate Freedom!! Control your free camera with gyro tilt controls!
What's New in Version 1.7
The Great Pumpkin Seed Edition! Help save Halloween in these cool new levels full of pumpkins and ghosts!
New Level Select screen so you can jump into any unlocked levels!
Find the treasure in the Dead Mans Chest in each level to unlock it!
More characters and story missions added!
Viking helmet, shield and sword added!
Mugen the monkey can now spin around and look at you instead of running backwards for more precision control!
And finally the app icon has been revamped in Gold trim, honestly what MORE could you want!?..
Even more other cool stuff inside Monkey Land 3D!!
Here are some player comments so far

The characters are cute and fit real well with each other. Would love to see more added! Textures and objects look awesome in this game!
I'm excited to see more of Monkey Land and what you can create for us! Perhaps a quick little (optional) introduction for directions? Such as, more in-depth details about the controls and a little intro on the games purpose. Like, "Collect bananas and open the Dead Man's Chests to unlock more levels and gain greater high scores."
Keep up the amazing work! We can all tell you're very dedicated to this project of yours. Keepin' my eye on this mobile game; hoping for an impressive old school platformer in the future!

I tried playing again after reading your tips about jumping and I did have a better time after realizing that, like you said, I had to move my finger waaaaay up the screen (like 75% like you said). I didn't realize that the virtual joystick was so big. the on screen representation is very small, so I figured that at most I should only move my finger to just above the joystick (like in the pictures you posted).
So thank you for clarifying that. However, even with that knowledge, the jumping is still pretty "loose". I would love to play this game with tighter controls, as the level designs seem pretty cool. As for collecting all of the bananas per level, with the current controls that seems ridiculously frustrating. I really wish that I could play this game with a physical controller, because I believe that it would fix a lot of these issues.
Thank you for your response

Personally playing for the first time took me back to when 3D platform games were just becoming a thing all the way back on my ps1.The gameplay is very straight forward as all you are required to do is finish a level by simply finding the exit. Along the way however the game challenges you to collect enough bananas by jumping around various obstacles. Nothing here is very unique or new to genre this is just a proven formula that works. The characters you encounter and the overall theme of the game are defiantly on point with the atmosphere created. My biggest issue with the entire experience came in the form of an annoying camera that only could be adjusted by tilting your device like a steering wheel. Personally I was disappointed that I couldn't go into an options menu and turn that feature off in favor of just dragging on the edge of my screen. Additionally I would like to see more challenging levels with different approaches as it does seem to get repetitive. However the developer seems to be dedicated towards this game and I'm defiantly looking forward to any future updates!

The tilt control is a good idea in theory but it's just too slow and lacks the precision necessary for a platforming game, especially when you are racing against the clock. I would recommend at least making it an option to drag on the screen in order to control the camera. Other than that great job! Keep up the good work!

With enemies, power ups, bosses, etc. this game could've been THE game comparable to Super Mario 64 and those others previously mentioned. Just think about it. Maybe you'll make a whole other game like that. I know that is that was the case, and the gameplay was really in depth, I'd pay 10 bucks for it IF it was that good. But it's it just alright, I'd even pay around 6. Seriously, a missed opportunity is how I would sum up this game. That said, it is not a bad game. That's definitely not the case. It could use some better instruction, though. It has potential, as I believe DBC said. I agree with him 100%.

I know I want to add lots of things and push it in more of a God of War direction haha but this is only my first game on iPhone! 10 bucks wow!? Let's just start with 99 cents and I will do my best to deliver the game you want in my next release! You can think of this game as the foundation and with the next one I can build on this with more more more!!! Thanks for playing and leaving your comments!

Aarrr, all three codes have been liberated, but not by me! Just confirming to save others the trouble. (And your post should probably have in the promo codes forum. Were you aware that existed?)

Oh, that was unexpected! I wasn't fishing for a code, just surprised to see your post in price drops so decided to check 'em and posted when all proved gone so you'd know. But thank you for the code anyway! I'll definitely check out the game. I have a soft spot for pirate apps.

Hey, at least the developer will get something out of you beyond, "I'd like a code," and "Thanks for the free game..."
