very polished game, i liked almost everything about it, mechanics were innovative (atleast i've never played anything like it before) and most importantly - simple enough to jump right into it and have fun without walls of text explaining how it works which i value very highly in jam games. i think bats were little bit lackluster since i could just rush trough them and there wasn't any way for them to stop me so that made them trivial. (maybe them following player endlessly and being killable by traps would make them more relevant). also more expressive animations on monkey wouldn't hurt. music melody was great but instruments were too loud/chirpy and that's not my cup of tea.
well deserved 5 stars on theme and fun factors.
