Really liked this one!

Pros:

  • The graphic novel-style intro was some really, really nice bit of wordless storytelling.
  • Monke's movement is responsive and killing enemies is satisfying
  • Evasive roll is VERY useful
  • Keycard is a small, but nice bit of auxiliary game design (what's that called? stuff that runs parallel to or breaks up the main game loop?)
  • Audio was handled pretty well, especially the music choices. 

Cons:

  • Monkey's movement might be TOO fast? It's a bit disorienting at times, how I can dash away so far that enemies completely leave the screen.
  • The dash key being "E" was unfortunate, because it uses the same finger as D (or E, I guess?) Better choices would've been Shift, Space, or even Right-click.
  • SFX weren't great at times. The humans' shots work, but the monkey's are super weird. 

The enemies' little "hey!" when they see the monkey was derpy as hell, but it amused me so much every single time it happened that instead of a con, it ended up being the thing that pushed Fun up to 5 stars for me. 

All in all, great job! 

P.S.: If you want help with audio on a future jam, hit me up :D I'd love to work with ya.

Developer

i wasnt expecting such a well created cutscene sequence from any of these games but yours was incredible lmao, like actual game standard for storytelling while not overloading the player with info.

Developer

thank you :) i really wanted to try this style of story telling and im glad u enjoyed it

Man, this game was incredible, I can't believe you pulled this off in just ten days. This reminded me a lot of Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 which I played on the ps3 a long while back except you have a dodge mechanic going. I really liked the dodging by the way, it added another layer to the skill ceiling and made beating the game without taking any damage possible. 

I want to be monke

Developer

what a big compliment, thanks for playing! :)

So this is what happens if you give Ape Out a gun. Intense! I must say, the intro presentation is top-notch, and while the visuals of the main gameplay don't quiiite hold up to that standard, everything is still easy to parse and a rush to dodge past. If there is one thing I would have liked to see, it's that I think the camera should lean towards your mouse aim direction to make it easier to see where you're shooting. Especially while moving downwards you are very close to the edge of the screen, which hindered my enjoyment in some places. Overall though, colour me impressed! (that's pink. all the enemies in this game are impressed. colour me that)

Developer

thanks for playing and i appreciate the feedback!
