The platforming needed more obstacles to help make it exciting, as there was no real threat. I timed out on the last section, didn't feel like enough time to get monkeys i'd missed.

Didn't really get the purpose of all the monkeys. They didn't help out in the first two fights or give you extra health or lives or anything.

Thank you for playing the game!

Fun game! I don't usually finish games but this one I did, it was fun and challenging just in the right level.

I like the design that you can't go back, which means your jumps have consequences and to get a perfect score you have to be precise, but you're not punished hard for missing the best jumps since you can collect monkeys from the bottom aswell. Time challenge was just about right too, I finished with 56 monkeys and 2 seconds left on the clock .

Loved it! :)

Developer

Hey there!

I'm really happy about your comment!
You're the first person who really gets my game! :)

Well done for 56 monkeys and thank you for the compliments!

I will build this game out in the future to make it more funky and fun! 
So if you want to feel free to follow me if you want news on the game.
(I'm gonna post 2 cool games in the near future and then I'll start improving my jam games!)

Very fun game!!!! Music fitted perfectly, and the whole monkey pack was cute and spot on with the theme.

Developer

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
I will make the game even more fun, chaos and monkey in the future! :)

The platforming feels very janky. I don't love the parts where you have to jump up 3 or more stacked platforms to get a monkey.  The autoscrolling feature makes it really frustrating to get some of the monkeys. The I really like the sound and graphics tho!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Really nice game.

Couple of things I thought would be a bit better.

1) it should be way easier to find the main monkey in the sea of monkeys😂

2) I wish the other monkeys were able to also collect friendly monkeys it would make it feel better and give you the advantage of having a sea of monkeys

3) When you arrive at the boss part you stop in your tracks and the big monkey suddenly appears and it feels like a cheap way to die tbh


the boss levels are easily winnable by staying on any platform though, I'd say arrive in an area with no platforms then wait for 3 seconds or so than the boss arrives so the players know what to expect, or keep the platforms but have the boss aim at your platform


its a nice game, Good job!

Developer

Hi there!

Thanks for playing and the comment.

1) I thought it's kind of hilarious how you can loose track of the main monkey haha
2) I thought about that, but then you could just run through the entire area and the monkeys collect everything for you, so that wouldn't work at all.
3) There will be changes to the gorilla fights in the future. But if the gorilla aims directly  at the monkey,   then it'll be too hard.

Thanks for your time!

Very funny, platformer. I had fun playing it!

Developer

Hey there,
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! :)

Pretty fun game, I enjoyed playing this! I wish it was a bit easier to see the main monkey. Maybe take away the platforms during the boss too so that the player has to jump to avoid the bananas and not just stand on a higher platform.

Developer

Hey there!

Thanks so much for playing!
I will update the game after the jam and the gorilla fight scenes will be different too!

Thanks!

Fun little platformer. Clever idea for the theme.

I wish the last section gave you more time as it seems to require almost never stopping.

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing!
I made it less time to give you more of a challenge to finish the game at the end.

Did you make it in time with 50 monkeys?

I suppose you'd like to be able to collect little clock items along the way which increase the time you have to finish...
