It was very fun. I liked the wall running and the banana jump, they made moving around pretty fun (I felt it was a bit to floaty though) and the art was beautiful. Good Job!

Loved the visuals of the game, I think one thing it can benefit from it some more oompfh to the hits on the enemy monkeys such as adding hit stun and sound effects. Locking the stage until you clear the enemies will also help to bring out the battle aspect. Great game!

Developer( 2)

Thanks for the feedback. Locking the stage was something I had planned, but didn't end up having enough time to do. And there was a sound effect for hitting enemies but it didn't make it in. But overall that's something that we plan to fix after. Especially for the player too, I know it's also hard to tell when you get hit.

really cool game, a bit floaty for me but still really cool

The movement in this game is very fun, I really enjoyed being able to run/climb up walls and have a lot of time in the air with the whole kick the banana to replenish the jump!

Controlled very well and was quite fun. I mainly rushed past everything though lol. Looked very nice, and had good sound and music design. J is a slightly odd control for attack though, I think a button a little closer to the movement keys would have been nice, but that is personal preference. It is also a platformer style, so not too high in originality. But this was a great game overall!

The floatiness of the jumps felt really good for me, I liked how I could chain the banana bounces and keep a lot of air time, very entertaining, great work!

Developer

YES!! Thats my favorite part too. You can combo so much and flying around feels so cool once you get good at it.

The jump mechanics and wall runs makes it so much fun to move around. Amazing game!

Developer

Thanks! We spent a lot of time testing and refining the movement. There's still things that could've done differently, but I'm glad you enjoyed it

Really clean game! Feels like im playing an old-school hard platformer with the art and the music.

Developer

Thank you so much! Im glad you enjoyed! thank you for the feedback!

This is great game overall, but I think the pixel art stands out as phenomenal.

Developer

Very cool gameplay! I had a lot of fun

Developer

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate the feedback!

The monkey pixel art looks so good! I also really like the tree climb mechanic!

Developer

Thank you so much!! I used a gif of a monkey running around when designing to choose the best key frames. Im so glad you think it turned out well! Thank you for the feedback!

Fun level design! Controls had somewhat of a learning curve but felt pretty good after! I can feel my speedrunner tendencies surfacing while playing haha

Developer

Yes! thats what we were trying to create. A fast gameplay with speed running capabilities! Hopefully we can hone the controls a bit to make them more intuitive, but im so glad you enjoyed! thank you for the feedback!

super cool aesthetic, nice work!!!! i really like how the controls are introduced one by one to make it easier on the player, very needed x)

Those monke鈥檚 are tough to beat. Or maybe maybe I suck. Great game. Feels really polished. 馃檪馃憤

Developer( 1)

They definitely are tough. There is a parry mechanic where if you attack right after they attack you'll damage them instead, but unfortunately it didn't make it into the tutorials so it ends up seeming like luck if you don't die, but I'm so glad you liked it and thank you for the feedback!

This was awesome. 

Developer

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the comment. It means alot!

Pretty polished game! The goal popping up on the screen was a really simple way to tell the player what to do, I enjoyed it a ton!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much!! Im glad you enjoyed it! Good luck in the jam! Also I have played your way too many times now lol

Fun game! The movement mostly feels good but  sometimes it feels like the camera maybe anticipates you too much? I bet with some minor tweaking it would feel amazing to play tho!! The music is also great! Nice work!

Thank you! I had a lot of fun writing the music and making the sfx!

fun game with nice movement mechanics! hard to attack enemies without taking tons of damage though

Developer

Yes it was a bit difficult to avoid damage. We didnt realize since we were doing all the testing. XD Thank you for the feedback and Im so glad you liked the movement!

Really fun game to play with some awesome mechanics! And the audio is really cool as well!!

I can totally see myself turning off my brain and chilling to this game for a good long while as I desperately try to beat it 馃槅

Amazing stuff!! 馃挅馃憤馃徑

Developer( 1)

Thank you! I wrote all of the music and made the sfx, it means a lot!

Nice game! Feels very floaty but this can make for some smooth looking moves. A bit confusing when the attack actually deals damage and it's save to touch enemies with it but it wasn't so bad that I died because of it :'D 

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and the feedback!
