Monkeys work together on digging the bones with a shovel and protecting their research center. The catapult weapon is also a shovel!

Good idea but i hate idle game ^^'
Great idea! Many things needs #todo here for balance implementation, but it's really fun.
Once my digger monkey started auto digging I was hooked! Let's gooo centre of the earth! He's still digging as I type this 😁
A quite unique and interesting game different from others. I like the theme of the monkey researcher group which fits the "together" theme well. The music also fits to the general style of the game. If you'd continue the development of this game in the future, some suggestions: The further the digger monkey digs down, the further you have to scroll, some feature to quickly get the camera down to upgrade that monkey would be helping a lot. Also, I only put a few upgrades in the other monkey, but a ton of them in the digging monkey, but the digging still wasn't fast enough so that the others had something to do, therefor Bones always stayed at 0, might be better if they're a bit more balanced, that you have to upgrade all of them. But for the limited time frame, well done game!
For me the loop of digging - cleaning bones - selling, the UI and switch from manual clicking to automation was kind of unclear, and I was confused for a while how the game worked. I thought digging up bones was bugged because it did not go past 0, then I realized they were just selling immediately. I really like the artstyle of the monkeys!
Simple but fun, i really enjoyed it. Nice work! :)
Had fun playing this game. The art is decent. Sound design is suitable. Overall good job!
Thank you! We tried our best :)
I will start with the feedback and suggestions - Definitely needed some tool tips or a little more instruction as to what the Monkey labs did at the start. Maybe a little more audio feedback when digging or some kind of warning when skeletons are approaching. I was digging away and came back up to find like 8 skellies whacking away at me.
The bones counter in the UI seemed to reset every time I collected a bone, so it was always 0 and I never knew how many bones I had.
The digging would have been a little better if you could just hold down the mouse button. Repetitive clicking can get uncomfortable.
With all that being said, this was a lot of fun. Great art, music was on point, very nice relaxing gameplay. I enjoyed playing this game. Very nice job!
Valid points! Thank you for playing :)
I definitely had fun playing this game. Though I wish there were a few tooltips to let you know what some of the monkeys did as it took me a bit to understand the one on the left.
It was interesting to see how fast you could dig!
We'll definitely allocate time for creating a tutorial next time. Thank you! :)
The gameplay loop is fun and addicting! It's amusing to see how fast you can dig
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
