Nice work on this! Very fun to play and try to optimize your game to get the three stars. Had fun with this game!

I think this game was super simple and fun! It was very intuitive too I feel like I didn't really need the explanations but I was happy that they were there anyway. Great job!

This game bought me a casual experience. It is so much fun to stack the monkeys. There is no game over punishment so I can freely place them.

The last two levels are where the restrictions start making placement more interesting. Restricting the placement area really starts to bring much more interesting thought in how the monkeys should be placed (especially in the water level). On the other hand, the first three felt like anyone could just haphazardly place the monkeys and win. Coupled with that is the readily infinite supply of monkeys allowing anyone to inevitably beat any level given enough time by filling their screen with monkeys. I'd probably look to make more levels like the last two and maybe restrict the monkey count in some way besides a star rating.

I was just stacking the monkeys without connecting them on the first level lol. but once I found out what I was doing wrong it was pretty fun puzzle game

There's some weird physics issues going on, but this is a very fun concept! Nice job!

(there was an image here showing the issues originally but itch wouldnt let me upload it)

thanks! yeah the physics sometimes go a bit crazy - if I had more time I would probably scrap them and write the behaviour myself. Apparently in real life two objects cant occupy the same space - who knew!

Cool idea!

Nice game.  Didn't realise for a while that the hands and feet connected with other monkeys (thought you had to just balance them).  Had some fun with this.
