Such a great game! I wish we had more than 2 lives each and more weird platform shapes, but other than that love the game!!

This game feels like a classic flash game, and includes a connor that pogs at you the entire time. Solid fun, Great job.

God i am terrible at this game - it feels impossible to judge how fast you need to go, and having only 2 chances to miss feels very strict. Its a great concept though, the campaign is cheesable but it'd really shine when playing with friends (provided you both dont suck and can actually start building a tower)

very unique concept!! it's pretty ugly but you've got some pretty thought out sounds and transitions to go along with it. the map of japan was a simple but effective frame of reference to ground the player and allow them to track their progress through the game. it definitely feels like you've got experience with game jams that show in details like that. the option to play with friends too was pretty neat!

the cutout bobble heads were fun but it'd look even better with more cutout style assets and rougher lines around the flat shapes. still, i was impressed with the use of sound with the ringing at the start of a level (it ringringrings when you spam the retry button) and the noise when you lose health having a nice oomph to it. i'd suggest pitch shifting that one ringing sound so it's less gratingly repetitive and to add some extra character to the monkeys. the transitions were cool but an option to skip the ones at the start of each level would be good.

i could be wrong but i felt the bikes had way more power than they needed. i overlaunched myself so often which might've been part of the challenge, but idk this game doesn't feel like i should be holding back as much as i have to. i think more space for the bikes to launch over between the ramps and platforms would feel more epic and right, at least for variety in one of the levels.

i think i was able to cheese the game a bit by landing my bike near the edge so that the other monkey had to slide off. which felt smart and cool of me but i didn't get to experience as much of the bike stacking as was probably intended. i can see how that can get pretty tight though, and it's an interesting use of the bike's shape. it could be more interesting if the bikes weren't completely immovable after being placed though, so maybe you could have like a tumbling tower moment.

with the freedom to move around the end screen i particularly felt untapped potential with the physics of that bike. like you could go soooo fast and do crazy maneuvers in the air that look fun to mess around with for actual gameplay. there's definitely more that could be expanded on with these foundations, like i imagine being able to push each other around would be fun, or more shape formations not just the one platform that could help structure or disrupt the stacks.

This is some of the most fun gameplay I've seen so far?? Controls felt really tight and fair and you did a really good job with the AI for a three day jam. Super impressive!

This game gets pretty heated as the bikes stack up haha

The absolute flukes that lead to me winning 😭

BUT I'LL TAKE IT!! 🤣

Very fun! The stacking mechanic and how you have to stay within the platform within a  timeframe is fun and interesting. Wish we had more levels to play in! :D

Very fun and unique. Gameplay was super smooth and the details like the camera zoom-ins and the bicycle bell audio effect were really nice touches!!

Really a fun game to play. Had me hooked from the  beginning and the Concept wants you u to even play it for ever.  Also  really cool idea to have a 1v1 mode! Love it.

Submitted(+1)

Great concept, had a lot of fun flying into my leaning tower of streamers. Would love to see it as a full game with other modes

Really funny gameplay! 

Submitted(+1)

lol honestly a great concept. the physics are fun to move around in. i also may have failed the first level 4 times haha

Submitted(+1)

I liked the concept, feels rather polished, I might have screamed a bit with the last level. Great job!

Submitted(+1)

Fun concept and fun game, good mechanics and solid controls. The only thing that would make it better is the ability to skip the introductions but other than that great job!

Submitted(+1)

Simple, yet affective and unique! The controls feel very polished!

Submitted(+2)

Obviously needs more levels, because it's a great idea for the theme :D Just like the Monkey himself though, I would like to be able to skip/speedup the introductions for each battle. And I think it could be fun to let both participants ride at the same time, might create some mindgames.

Great Ideas! Especially in the local 1v1
