I thought the falling in the water music was hilarious.
Since you can't beat the game it wasn't as fun though. Audio was good. I really liked the graphics though!

o-limbo

Great water sound in this one :)
I liked the artwork, but the graphics was rather glitchy. Dunno if it's a problem with the game or it's just Ubuntu that don't like flash.

finnp

The graphics are really very nice (save for the monkeys walk anim), look very Yoshi's Island! Quite slow paced though, and nothing to do but drown him at the end. :D Great use of parallax scrolling with the background btw!

briangtria

Very pretty, absolutely fantastic music and lovely use of parallax scrolling on multiple levels. Gameplay is obviously a bit bare and I guess it doesn't innovate but it's a great accomplishment for 48 hours.

mooj23

Beautiful graphics and music on this one!

tenoch

Now this is insanely cute, and the music is nice.
But yeah, not a game, really...

mnemo

Top notch graphics, good music, however no real gameplay and no way to win? Good job never the less!

increpare

I ran to the right then I fell in the water. The monkey sounds like an air-raid siren. Maybe it's not a monkey but really a WW2 bomber?

noel

I like the graphics, music and the timelapse, is is really nice to see how you create the assets of the game, I wish I could do some graphics like that :P

hakankaraduman

Like everyone sez, amazing art.

monkyyy

The graphics are just beautiful, I wish I could make graphics like that. Nice music too.

entar

Good graphics and music, but that jump sound gets old quick.

jagger27

This was nifty. Too bad you didn't have more time to make a real game out of it.

tenjouutena

Well, the graphics are beautiful and the music is a joy to listen to, but it's not much of a game. I hope we'll see a real game come out of this.

mrpiglet

Attractive, but sadly very little substance indeed.

kayru

Nice graphics and good audio, it's flaw point is... everything else :(

sparky

What falling in the water music?

Looks very lovely, the music is great, there just is not much of a game here. Also, it's a tad sluggish (my machine probably).

fightingboredom

Humor points for calling it "Monkey Islands"

onefifth

Great name and graphics. Excellent music. Unfortunately you couldn't add a goal :(

morre

Very nice graphics, and pretty cool audio. As you know, of course, there's no gameplay in here. :)

demonpants

Very cool, even though you didn't finish it. The graphics style is absolutely gorgeous. I loved the parallax in the back and the gameplay was actually pretty addicting even though being pretty much a Mario clone. I wish you'd have finished this.

neromler

Really impressive artwork! I made it to the end and jumped in the drink. :) For what it's worth, I thought the horizontal movement speed was too slow and the jump seemed unbelievably high. Wish there had been more to do...

jazzberrygames

Graphics and audio are excellent!!! Great title, too. Would be fun to have the monkey move faster, and some actual gameplay.

metiulekm

Please, finish this game! Music and graphics are great!

groovemastercox

Love the sound and graphics. Good use of parallax too.
