the reason we didn't have connor automatically pick up fruit is because we wanted the player to have be able to choose which fruit to pick up, since all the monkeys have a different favourite fruit. but ty for the rest of the feedback, i wish i had the energy left by the end of the jam to animate the water x)
no worries! i'm sorry you didn't have fun! :/ we've gotten a few comments about the controls not being clear, and if we could go back in time we definitely would've spent more time on the tutorial. thank you for playing! (人◕ω◕)
i do have footage this jam!!! :D i'd love to make a devlog, i've just been discouraged from it after switching editing software :,) i'm a slow editor so if i do make one then it'll be like a month from now x)
nice to see you in another monkey jam!!!!! :D the polish is great, the little connor monkey is adorable, the sound design is mwah, i love how the portals spawn enemies and the difficulty is super engaging, great work all around!!!!!! one of my favorite games this jam!!! (◕‿◕✿)
neat point and click adventure game!!!!!! :D i love how you managed to feature so many of connor's friends and the art is just mwAH chef's kiss. great work!!!! (人◕ω◕)
super duper satisfying to play!!!! :D the game feels polished, art is stunning, sound design is mwah, and i love how the monkeys gang up on the birds lolololol x))) fantastic take on the theme and all around amazing game!!!!! (◕‿◕✿)
artist here :D ✋ thank you so much for the kind words!!!!!
at first, we planned to make a game where you micromanage your monkey troops to attack the bots. my brother, who coded the game, restarted entirely 4 times on day 1 of the jam T-T the game was coded in only 2 days which is insane!! to save time, we switched to title-based movement, which is how it became a PvZ game.
i struggle with drawing anything mech, so designing robots was difficult, but making some of the robots have wheels or tank bases made them very quick & easy to animate as opposed to if they had legs :P there's a spider bot that was time consuming to figure out the animation, but i just thought a spider bot was so cool. which was my brother's idea x)
me and my brother hate breaks 🫡 we only took breaks when we felt like our brains were too mush to work. i finished the art with 11 hours remaining, then the game was submitted an hour later :D which i can proudly say is the first time we haven't submitted within the last half hour! :,D RELIEF!!!! we could've added more but it was nearing midnight and we were exhausted. this was a bit out of my brother's comfort zone because he's most comfortable with side scrolling bullet hell type games, but i think it is very very fun and i am very proud of him :D
love the visual style it looks so good!!!!! :D i wish there were a tutorial because i was a little confused but the description helped. nice work!! (人◕ω◕)
super cute game!!!!!! :D i love how u can drag ur monkeys around easily and i love all the references lol. i got so excited over rin cause i just watched that earlier today x))) everything feels smooth and the vibes are immaculate. nice work!!!!! (◕‿◕✿)
omg no worries you're so sweet (人◕ω◕) it's my fault for not doing the hand exercises my doctor told me to do >:,D i really hope connor gets to play your game i'd love to see his reaction!!!!! :>
