Really enjoyed this one :) Music is awesome!

Developer

Glad you had fun and you liked my super rushed soundtrack!

Well done im impressed with the responsiveness and the music you made. This game was fun and gave me flashbacks to the days when I was a loose rampaging gorilla :)

Developer(+1)

Ho those great days ... Thanks!

mini-king-kong simulator? I like it!

Developer(+1)

I actually hesitated between a giant gorilla or a regular gorilla.

Submitted(+1)

Nice game i enjoyed it! It would be great if you could check my game too!

Developer(+1)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Nice game!! If I can add my 2 cents, i think it'd be much more fun with less details, smaller map, lots of characters and mess!

Developer

More mess wanted! I wrote it down :p

Submitted(+1)

Nice game with a catchy music and good 3d art. It is just frustrating to not being able to climb the building while playing a gorilla.

Developer

Oh yes! I wanted to be able to climb thing and also grab things and throw them!

Submitted(+1)

Very nice idea and good execution. We have used some assets for the particles :D

Developer(+1)

Actually I'm not sure the particles assets were credited, my bad! It is "Simple FX - Cartoon Particles" from Synty Studios.

Submitted(+1)

They have very nice assets!

Developer (1 edit)

Yes they do! Also the gorilla and the zoo keepers are made by my colleagues, the town is "Simple City Pack Plain" from 255 Pixel Studios (from the unity assets store).

Submitted(+1)

It's fun to smash things, cool concept. 

I liked the music.

Developer

Glad you liked it! Thanks for your comment!

This is a fun interpretation of the theme. I just wanted to be able to destroy more stuff! The houses, and gas stations especially.

Developer

Me too! I wanted to be able to destroy everything and climb stuffs! Maybe too much work for 48 hours tho. Thanks for your comment!

Submitted(+1)

Damn that music is so catchy!! haha. How the hell do they think they can catch me with those tiny nets???. Nice entry, art and music are reall well put together, well done!

Developer

The music was made in a little hour, didn't really have much time to edit it. So I'm happy you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

I couldn't get it to run smoothly in the browser. (Its not like I have a shitty computer). Maybe you should've uploaded a windows build also. I noticed that some of the text wasn't scaled properly. Try using the canvas scaler with scale with screen size.

Developer

Thanks for your comment! I will upload a windows build with Universal Render Pipeline after the rating time.

Submitted(+1)

So I think the concept of it is great, it seems like it would be insanely fun, my only gripe is that it seems all the stuff I could destroy is too spaced out. If I was able to steam roll through obstacles right of the bat, I can see this being a hook! Definitely fun though.

Developer

Yes I should have made a smaller map with more destructibles!

Thanks for your comment.

Developer

I want to say that we did used some pre existing art but there is also art done by my colleagues like the Gorilla and the zoo keepers!

Developer(+2)

The gorilla and the zoo keepers are not my colleagues, they are art made by my colleagues...

I like smashing through stuff, but wish I could take out the enemies without getting hit. It seems like there isn't any way to time it so that I get my hit in before they do. Some of the UI stuff at the beginning was cut off in my browser window, as well, but overall it was alright!

Developer

Thanks for your comment! Th gameplay lacks balance and finetuning unfortunately.

Submitted(+1)

gorilla simulator? bwhahahahahahah nice man!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted(+1)

I really like how you took "Out of Control" to a destructive level. Nice job!

Developer

Glad you liked it! I was hoping to bring more destruction to the game but didn't have enough time.

Submitted(+1)

As I bang my head to a bopping tune, my ape fists slam into the ground at the same time as the swinging of the catcher's net and we explode in ball of fire.

"Out of control" doesn't even begin to describe this one!

Developer(+1)

This is poetry! Thank you kind sir.

Submitted(+1)

Probably was a problem of my end, but the browser version was lagging a lot..

good concept tho.

Developer

Not sure it is a problem on your end. I think the game lacks optimisation. Thanks for your comment!

Submitted(+1)

 Pretty fun. Not clear how to win and the movement feels a bit sluggish.

Developer

Thanks! To win you have to knock out all the zoo keepers.

Alternate universe were harambe lives 5/5

Developer
