Great game overall! Love the fast pace, and the mechanics are solid! Would have loved to use the spacebar for dashing, but aside from that the game is great! I wanna beat those evil doers who killed my monke family Q_Q

Great game! Monkeys seems to really be "in" right now. I enjoyed your game and the death animations made me smile. I would say that the aiming could be improved a little bit. Larger projectiles would feel more forgiving and it does feel like the reticle is a little bit off from where the bullets are travelling to in some cases.
Otherwise, great entry!
I really like the feel of this one The monkey felt a little fast, but overall a really fun game, good job man!
I really liked the cutscenes and the work put into it, that part was really good! You really got me into the story with that. The controls felt also good, they were simple but effective. For me the gameplay was a little bit frustrating at times, since many times the enemies were outside of the screen, so I couldn't clearly see where they were, and had to shoot a bit blindly. The room layouts were nice though! Would also be nice if there was some kind of melee option, I could easily imagine a monkey jumping on a guard's face and slicing it off :D
We'd be super happy if you had time to check out our submission as well! :)
This was so cool !
The overall game feels really polished, from the models to the cutscenes illustrations and all.
The gameplay was nice, but it did have the occasional hickup navigating around crates in some areas, and the character feels a bit fast to sometimes manoeuvre around bullets without getting hit, the dash does eliviates this in part but sometimes when you carefully want to fit through a gap it can be tough with this speed. The only other issue i had was that the enemies can sometimes feel a bit tanky, and especially those upgraded ones that accompany the final boss.
That being said, it is a good game and i had a blast getting through till the end, and i like how you implemented some quality of life features like text to inform you when someone dropped a keycard in case you didn't see it, and the slight slow mo when you score a kill to help indicate so even when the enemy goes off screen.
Solid and fun entry, well done :)
Really fun game! The sound design is very good! I would suggest maybe adding more forward look ahead to the camera (because you can't really see where you're going right now) The little comic at the start and at the end really make you feel engaged in the story! (and they are really well drawn!) Really cool game :D
I liked the game, monkeys are very charismatic. Two things that bothered me a little: 1. The player's bullet size could be a little bigger to help hit enemies. 2. Enemies that aren't on the screen shouldn't shoot, this seems a little unfair to players. Overall I thought it was pretty fun, congratulations.
Really good game love the cutscenes one question on the third room my screen became orange tinted is there a reason for that
Very nice work on the cutscene! The story is nice and makes us want to kick some hunter's ass
The combat is cool, but the dash is way too long, and the camera is weird.
Your bullets are too small, it's hard to hit the enemies. But the boss battle is fun!
Little sound nitpick : the shooting sound is lacking, it doesn't feel good to shoot, try to add more stuff in it (more realistic shoot, bass impact, etc)
Finished it in 18min on normal mode! not sure if I have the skill to try the hard mode lol.
great game ! Well polished ! I really like the narrative part !
Well play !!
Loved the story and the concept of the game!! I really wanted to avenge the poor monkey. Overall it was a really fun game to play
I LOVE this concept and the execution of it was great. The intro really caught me off guard and it honestly made me care about the monkey a lot more than I thought I would, completely wordlessly. On top of that, it's just a really fun game and the pixelated old-school graphics are great! You did an incredible job on this game.
One funny bug I found was that you can shoot through some walls hah, but it isn't too game-breaking as it generally isn't very helpful in most scenarios. Having the environment block projectiles was a great touch too, and it made combat encounters a lot more fluid and nice since I had things to hide behind if I was getting overwhelmed and needed a second to catch my barrings!
Fantastic game! Super polished and I really liked the addition of an outline whenever the player is behind things.
I really liked the pace of the game, visually nostalgic, very fun, very cool sounds!
