In what way does your game fit the theme?
Monkeys gotta help each other and create stronger bonds by being together.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, music was the only thing I had to purchase

Something about this game is kind of addicting, I'm not sure what. Maybe it's those monkey sounds? 😅

Nice implementation of the theme! Some of the bugs have already been stated in the comments so i think could have some indication of where the head or also could add some function to tell the player when they do not have monkey anymore!

Really good concept and implementation.  Only critique I have is similar to the others here, a large issue is that you really cant tell in which direction your monkey path has been laid out, which makes it hard to revert movements.  Really good work though, it was quite hooking and rewarding to find a way to gather enough monkeys to collect all the humans, played all the levels through simple barrel mode.  Good work man!

Nice design. 

 Needs feedback to where the current head of the monkey-chain is. Got lost in the warp section. Also would be nice to reset to the barrel, A few times I messed up on the last human and had to start over the whole level.

Here's my opinion to improve this game:

- add some indicator on your move, as I sometimes lost track of where did I go, especially in the level with multiple portals

- add a function to call back all the monkeys into the barrel

Both modes were really quite fun :) Simple puzzle game but really tricky and interesting. Good job!

Simple an easy to understand mechanic, great level design, maybe would have benefitted from a key to instantly bring all the monkeys back to the barrel (it can be quite tiresome when you start having lot of monkeys). I would really enjoy playing a longer version of the game with more mechanics (ie : others monkey) and more levels.

Nice little Puzzler. Unfortunatrely I got stuck trying to use a Portal while not having enough monkeys. I could only restart the Level. The Music is quite relaxing, I like it.

Thanks for the feedback I'll try to fix it in the next build :) I'll play your game

Probably the best exemple of "Reject humanity, return to monke".
