Ranked from 31 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
Three playable apes, you swap between controlling each to complete the levels in a platformer. Alone none can reach the end but together they can. Ape alone... weak. Apes together... strong.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Made in a team of two, all code, drawings, sprites, sound effects, and music were made by us during the 7 day jam period.

Clever puzzles and mechanic fits the theme well and ngl I was expecting a game with this title xD I have a suggestion, though, I had to restart many levels because the ape that crossed the level was needed to solve a few puzzles so that the other ape could cross the level. I'd suggest that all apes should function until and unless each and everyone has crossed the level.

That was a very fun game! the puzzles were pretty tough towards the end! I loved the apes having different abilities mechanic.  Good job

Submitted

Awesome game! I like how much detail you put into the graphics, it paid off nicely. The only real issue I had was that it was a little hard to control the wall-jumping monkey. Other than that, the game mechanics worked great. Good job!

Submitted

Great game! I like the different puzzles! The apes look awesome!

Submitted

Excellent work! The apes work well together, the puzzles are clever, the art/sound is simple but effective. Well done!

Submitted

Really nice game! It's a lot of fun and I like the Portal vibes. Snappier movement would be a plus. Great use of the theme too.

Submitted

Very fun game! It's a really good concept, having to switch between characters each with unique aspects to them is great. The puzzles were fun and the level design was good. I loved the visual style and audio. Great job!

I like how the game lets you discover new elements as you progress through levels, and how the different ape's abilities complement each other. The menu/ending art is awesome. I think the game would benefit from having a bit faster pacing in the middle.

nice game fun to play

This is a nice game, enjoyed playing it.

I will say that the game feels slow. The movement is slow, and the lift is slow too. If the player understood what he had to do in order to clear a level, let him run through it as fast as possible instead of waiting 5 seconds for the lift to get down.

That being said, the different monkey powers were nice and I enjoyed it overall.

Well done!

Very nice and clean game, puzzle are cool, and it's really fun to play different apes, also you dev log is cool it's really interesting to view the different step of your creation and I knew there was some portal inspiration :P

Nice puzzle game !

A fairly amount of levels, a nice logic, with hint for buttons, bananas when in test session to keys when escaping...

And that was the first sentence I had in mind when reading the theme haha, glad someone made something out of it !

Good job

Very good job, I loved the game  design!

Submitted

Great minds thing alike :D 

Great game design, keep it up!

Submitted

I loved playing as the different monkeys! The uniqueness from each monkey played a tremendous role in hooking me right into the game and making me want to keep playing for their escape. Very solid work and I'd love to see more diverse monkeys if you choose to keep developing!

Submitted

Nice platformer game! I feel like the game is very well made for 7 days, and I have no major critiques on it, other than polishing it out even more (e. g. using some post-processing).

Submitted

Awesome work! The game is well polished and the monkeys are super cute!

Love the art, ape strong, apes more strong.

The visuals, animations and sounds are adorable.  At first, it felt a little slow for me because of the speed of the apes and the moving platforms, but when the game introduced a storyline about freedom, I was hooked and wanted to see them all escape. The apes walk a little slow, but the mechanics are good. I had to be precise when jumping, which made it more challenging but fun. The ending was perfect. I wish it had some more comedic elements to it, such as an animation, sound or a funny red alert for breaking the machines and such. Overall, this was a really fun and cute polished game. Apes strong indeed.
