Fantastic. Very polished and great fun. Also, very impressive to create some challenging and diverse puzzles that tutorialise the player to finding a solution within the timeframe of a game jam.

Thanks - appreciate it. The level design was pretty last minute, and I would have definitely liked more time during the jam to polish and balance the game and add a few more levels. :)

Well done! Fantastic art, music, and special effects! The theme pun was very clever, I really enjoyed this entry, even though I was pretty Shh…it at it :P

Gameplay was very smooth. Kept trying to get a bank shot off of the obstacles but haven't yet succeeded.

Well done.

Thanks! What’s a “bank shot”? 😀😀

Reply
uu-kkSubmitted71 days ago(+1)

Bank shot would be me first hitting an obstacle and then having the banana ricochet to one of the monkeys.

Great job, it was fun. I only got to level 7 though and thought this was about to be the end level as it introduced an entirely new level design in a way that i did not know how to adapt, while at the same time reducing the possible attempts to, i think 7 or 8 tries?

The biggest annoyance was when i missed the shot entirely, it would sometimes immediatly show “skip” and sometimes i had to wait it to get to a full standstill, before being able to throw the next one. And often when i skipped, i ended up throwing the next bannana immediatly because i pressed space twice.

Level 7 is still very good going. Level 8 is the last one before you “win” and move on to endless mode 😀

Thanks for the feedback re the skip.. might be a bug.. I implemented an “airgap” to stop accidentally throwing a banana, but completely agreed it needs some tuning!!


Thanks T

A very fun game, probably the most fun game from this code jam. Admittedly it's only tangentially related to the theme because of the pun in the title (although i guess you could argue that the shape of a monkey is also a shape :D). Other than that, it's great, and so is the music. I won the game and reached level 16 on my first run

Well done - level 16 is excellent, especially for your first run. Glad you enjoyed it ... even if you weren't so keen on how I interpreted the theme :) :) :)

Gameplay is quite fun, also very nice graphics! Controls on keyboard seem a bit too fast. Trying to aim right it was quite touchy to try to get the angle I wanted.

Reply
tgd20Developer76 days ago (1 edit)

Thanks. If you adjust your aim once you start drawing for a throw, you can fine tune the aim .. but you don't have long :)

(Also.. having played your entry, I wish I had included the burst firing of bananas that I was originally planning .. making it a bit more chaotic!! Still, there is only so many hours available during the jam time)

This rocks!!! Excellent!!! and Kudos for using PGE 2.0, you should look to moving this to the PGE 2.0 Mobile (Android & iOS) it would be amazing app. Graphics are brilliant banana for scale lol

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!

BTW, I’ve shared the source code on github so you’re welcome to test it out with PGE Mobile if you fancy it 😀

Johnnyg63Submitted76 days ago

Yes I will set this up for you on Sat, just remind me, just to note i cannot publish it as it would be under my name, you have to do that yourself ok 😊 

Reply
tgd20Developer76 days ago

Hey, thanks buddy, but no need to do that as I don't have a way to publish it. Appreciate the offer :) maybe something for me to consider for the future! :)

Let me put it together and we can have a chat about it then

This is definitely the best take on the theme! Also love that it was made with PGE!

Man this looks really cool. I like the sounds, and the camera effect when throwing the bananas is awesome. wish I could play it but I have a 60% keyboard without arrow keys :P

Oopse! That was a bug .. I forgot to bind WASD. I've corrected that now .. and also double checked that the gamepad support works ok. That was always there :)  Let me know if you get a chance to check it out :)

Very cool! Basically professional! Some things were a bit confusing like when you have to give the monkeys multiple bananas on levels that were similar to previous levels (I think it was level 8 that looked like level 2 but a slightly different objective). I did notice that when a monkey is satisfied, it sits contently, and this was enough for me to figure it out lol.

But mostly, very cool!

That's a fair comment when they increase their appetites! I did have a speech bubble gfx all ready to go .. but ran out of time (along with a bunch of other stuff, like power ups that were almost ready to go :) ) .. maybe I'll add some in after the jam
