This game is seriously Balatro level addicting. It's super satisfying to not only rack up upgrades but also to feel yourself getting better in skill as you play. I also really like how the four sides of the tree encourage you to be greedy and search every side in search of bananas, then snatch them up when you spot one (monkey see, monkey do!)
I like how the theme is interpreted on many levels: the roguelike progression, the four sides of the tree, and the passing of generations. The sound effects are also funny and really endear you to the main monkey (you almost feel bad for sacrificing him... almost.)
I think this game's biggest issue is communication, such as not seeing your remaining health points or souls and the rather obtuse narrative behind the progression system. But other than that, you've got yourself a crazy good game that's better than it had any right to be. Amazing job!!
