The graphics are nice but unreal engine is excessively heavy for my computer. As you may know, it needs more work...

I like the idea of him being connected to nature, that's nice. The visuals are pretty nice too. He controls feel okay, although I wish there was a way to move faster. Also I felt his bar should recharge faster when reaching nature.
Overall though, an interest game you made. Nice work :)

Plug AdventuresThis is just fantastic, top-quality feedback. Thanks so much for going the extra mile.
It really does suffer from lack of completion, so just in case anyone else reads this - there should be a sign pointing left after the second garden. The idea is to avoid the roads completely. In the other direction there's two additional platforming puzzles and parks that I doubt anyone else saw either :).
You can't attack anything in game. I sort of wanted my toddler to be able to play it, so as little violence as possible - you just avoid enemies. With beating the boss, the aim is to connect him to the nature points until he calms down - much the same way you do - but with me not finishing the health bar for him in time there's no way for you to know that.
I'll have to finish it off post-jam for my own satisfaction. Thanks again for this, I really appreciate it.
This is a fun little platformer and I enjoyed playing it^^
I had troubles with short-ranged jumps though as my little monkey tends to float forward a lot when you started the jump while walking. Even pressing the opposite direction didn't do much for me so I jumped too far a lot of times.
But this is a good submission and you can be very proud of yourself =D

Lost Crystal Relic DefenseThe last thing I would have thought someone would make with the theme "Connection" is a game about monkeys, but I love the idea. The stylized graphics also look great. I would have loved if there was a little more going on though. The monkey also moves a little bit slow. Still I think if you spent some more time working on this it could be very cool.

Short CircuitI like the connection between the monkey and the green naturalball. I was trying somethink like this but didnt get it working. It seems you had in packing setting the developmode on. If you switch it to shiped, the print string nodes like the die will not apear in the packaged game.

Many Many RoomsUnfortunately for me, the camera goes crazy on my end. I don't know if it's the game or my mouse. I think it's more my mouse since I had an issue like that on another game.
Great job otherwise, Like your take on the theme :)

Slime Chain EffectI like the cell-shaded look of the game! Great that you laid out a level with some platforming, and a well dressed boss that dishes out knowledge (in the form of thrown books)! I thought the other monkeys where trying to give me health packs, turns out they were shooting at me with ray guns! haha! It would've been nice to be able to attack back at the enemies. throw some bananas back at them :) Good effort, buddy! :D
