How does your game fit the theme?
The player plays as a monkey trying to get on to Noah's ark before the storm comes in.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code and sprites are 100% by me. The banana spinning shader is from Godot Shaders. The music is credited in the game description. The monkey sounds are by me and the other sounds are by others, credited in the description.

This was really fun! I really like the simple but streamlined sprites, and the music is integrated really nicely too! I'm always a sucker for island / tropical settings in games, and this one did a great job of setting a perfect relaxing atmosphere.

Some other comments have mentioned that the enemy AI could be tweaked to improve the challenge, but I wonder if it could also be interesting to add either more monkeys or a damage system where it hurts to contact the enemy. That could also add some spice to the gameplay loop without necessarily needing to enhance the AI too much.

Great work!

Fun concept! Would've been a joy to play if the other monkey was better at bananas. Congrats on your first self-drawn sprites! :)

Haha I love the concept. That 2nd monkey got like 9 bananas to my 150!  Reminds me of old school arcade games like Donkey Kong, the Original Mario Bros, Pac-Man, etc.  Good work! Congrats and good luck!

Banana!

Nice take on the theme! The movement was smooth and it was entertaining. The enemy AI could however be made a little more difficult. Good job :)

The platforming feels really smooth, and the animations add a nice touch to the overall experience. Great work!

The platforming feels really great, and even though they are basic, the animations really add a lot to the experience. Great job :)

This game jam was my first time learning how to work with pathing algorithms and getting NPCs to move just the way you want them to is a lot of work but so so rewarding when it finally gets there and they start behaving in the ways you want them to. Keep it up!

time for some monkeying around!

I DESTROYED the other money, i had 40 bananas or something

Fun little game, the enemy AI is almooooost there. A little polish on the enemy AI and this would be a nice fun little addictive gameplay loop!

Please try out my game as well, thanks :)

It's cool to see that you've implemented a 1vs1 mode against the computer. The computer AI could be improved a bit, but it's a good start!
