Full flash game nostalgia! Love these kinda games and this is really well done, especially for the amount of time you had. Physics was a bit janky but that's part of the fun. You already mentioned, but a reset button would be great. Feel like there's lots you can add to this if you continue developing. Overall really unique and fun! Nice job ๐Ÿ’OUG

I dont think my bike is street legal. It does however get the job done, and so does your game, spectacularly. This would absolutely be on my phone as the perfect game to sit down and craft the bike of your dreams. Its fun and lets you be creative and is a certified classic™! Great Job!

Submitted

Physics can be janky, but tbh they feel my fault for not being a good engineer rather than the game's lmao. Very impressive to make something like this in the time limit!

Submitted

The gameplay and art style were great and nostalgic. They remind me of the flash games I used to play. The only problem I had was that sometimes the bike would get stuck under the ground, other than that, you did a great job. Awesome game :)

Submitted

I would sink hours just to make a super bike.

Really cool to build a bike! I think I might have broken the game though..


Submitted

Very challenging game, but rewarding once you get a bike to work! I haven't seen another game like it so far!

Submitted

Really fun game, never expected my bike to actually work somehow ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Weird my comment got nuked. Or I hadn't saved it or something... ANYWAYS!

Found an infinite money glitch, made myself a box out of bike frame parts and launched myself out of the game.

Monke/10

Developer

what?? how?? genuinely i really want to know how you did this haha

Submitted

Infinite money: just return to the main menu then start a new game. Your previous build will be there and you can just sell it for extra cash and repeat as many times as you want.

Frame jump: Make a box as in my screenshot then hold forward and tilt forward (I think?) and you will slowly roll forward, eventually that speed just ramps up and you will go flying across the entire stage.

Really impressive and unique idea! It was a nice challenge trying to build a bike that worked, not one that I was very good at, haha!

It seems like you can build a bike without a monkey if you place the monkey and then delete him - not that I was trying to cheese it or anything..

Developer

Thanks!! I cant lie while i was testing the game i would cheese it by building a box around my monke to protect him, technically not cheating but still haha. Honestly im suprised more people havent found bugs like that because i thought there would be way more!

Super fun game. Made it to the end with this bad boy:

Developer

Hells yea!! Nice cycle machine my guy!! Honestly I didn't know it was possible to complete the game without a weapon haha well played!!

Submitted(+1)

Yooo, this is so cool! Really impressive that you managed to create such an elaborate game over this short amount of time. Also the visuals are really nice

Developer

Thankyou!! I crunched pretty hard at the end to get as much in as possible ๐Ÿ˜… I'm glad it was worth it ๐Ÿซ 

Submitted(+1)

It is a lovely game. It reminds me so much about happy wheels.

A bit weird that you need to buy the rider.

Developer

Thanks!! Oh yea... It's totally because you're paying for the monkeys protective gear... Definitely not an oversight on our part ๐Ÿ˜…

i love that you can make your own LE MONKE MAN vehicle to tear up the desert in, and am pleased to say i am a monke bike pro using my patent pending JELLYBIKE tm B) quite addictive to try to reach the end since i always get super hype trying to go as fast as possible and end up knocking out my monke :'( u both did a great job bringing this game entry together in such a short time, the controls are solid for something made so quickly, and i love the lil monke end screen arts!! hope u like the photo of my high tech JELLYBIKE tm cheering this game on cuz its very fun (it was hard to screen snip and keep his arms up))!!!!!!!<33

Edit to say that if you try to delete the seat it doesnt work so if you wanna do an elaborate build maybe position the seat first :)

my first thing went -2m for 1 sec, then the game over screen... had to chuckle. Very fun building stuff and taking it for a ride. Artstyle brought back sweet memorys of Flash. Very well done

I no good at build bike TTnTT. 

Cool mechanics, amazing to have made a game where you can build your own vehicle in just 3 days. 

Developer

Thankyou!! I agree, build bike is hard :((

Super hard...and addictive LOL

The bike building system is so much fun and super creative. Coupled with the gameplay that reminds me of Happy Wheels and 2010s YT, this is a super epic entry.

Developer

Thanks!! Happy wheels was obviously the main inspiration ๐Ÿ˜…. I hope you didn't find it too difficult!!
