I've seen several games with a similar premise this jam, but this one seems reasonably well executed and without a bunch of extraneous mechanics.

How does your game fit the theme?
The player and the monkey's movement are joined together. When the player moves the monkeys move the same way. You need to find a way to break this joined movement in order to make the monkeys no longer be in your way.

Very nice and intuitive mechanic which you've used to create some very good puzzles! I'd agree with a few other commenters that faster movement would have been nice, but it didn't get in the way of enjoying the game for me :)

Seeing DoubleVery simple mechanic but great puzzle design and surprising emergent difficulty and complexity. The narrative theme is also very funny. Well done :)

Eldritch EateriesClicked for the monke, stayed for the gameplay
The game is fairly simple but it's pretty well done.
I wish there was a little more difficulty to the game, you're givig a lot of space to the player so most of the puzzle can be beaten with the same tactic of stacking the monke against a wall.
The game has a couple glitches too but nothing that really breaks the game.
The atmosphere of the game is pretty cool too (especially the voice acting)
Overall pretty fun :)

Blood SheepI think this is a very cool way to interpret the theme, it led to some really nice puzzles! I think decreasing the time between stopping your ability to move would be nice since moving felt incredibly slow. Other than that, great game! (Also I love what you decided to name the game)

A Jammed TetherI like the general idea and the puzzles are cool. I wish the controls were smoother but overall it's a nice and pleasant game!

Separation AnxietyShort and simple, great for a jam game! Just a little more polish and it would be perfect!

Strapped Young LadsI really enjoyed the sound affects and art. Also joining the player and monkeys was a great take on the theme. It reminded me a game that is submitted to an older GMTK jam. It was fun however, it would be better if you put some kind of an input buffering system so that we don't need to wait and then press to the buttons. Great game!

Soul BoundInteresting puzzle game, even if the graphics are lacking and the animation doesn’t get cancelled whenever you try to move in quick succession.

Gottlob's Loneliest Birthdayvery very fun but something I notice most puzzle games people make really need to give out hints r somethng because if your confused what to do it gets boring

We were joined togetherpretty funny! The puzzles were really engaging but the time between accepted inputs could feel really frustrating

Stellar ScalersI made it to the bathroom!!
Hilarious concept, and it fits the seem super well! A good reminder to not go to monkey dance clubs, haha

Five Legged RaceBanging voice lines!
I think the delay on the movement stopped me from completing the last few levels because of my impatience and a not so good ability at puzzle solving. Really cute game with a creative name and presentation.
