It was really frightfully for me)
Why do I keep exploding randomly? Textures are a bit odd. Controls are awkward with Keyboard / Mouse.
Seems like a decent idea, but the fact that I'm forced to play with the joystick thing on the right doesn't make it an enjoyable experience.
Nice graphics and controls. There are a lot of mines so I didn't make it to the end :)
Its hilarious having monkeys blow up left and right! Awesome game!
Exploding monkeys are always fun, though I couldn't really use my powerups because my mouse cursor was tied up working the onscreen joystick.
cant tell when im gonna explode ahah but it was a great effect
I liked that you remembered where the mines were, but wished they were more spread out. Controls on keyboard/mouse weren't very good.
Controls could use a lot of work. It seems more for touch-based gaming, but it's an interesting and weird game. (In a good way). :)
Would be nice to be able to have some kind of chance against the mines. And the controls is terrible. Why no arrow keys?
The onscreen controls seem like it would be great for mobile, but for PC it was slightly frustrating. Other than that I thought it was pretty fun, although there were a crap ton of mines.
With an otherwise finished visual style, the stretched textures really stick out. I also didn't feel like I knew what I was doing, it seemed that I just randomly blew up. Other than that, a very solid game, could easily see this for sale on mobile platforms with just a little bit of polish.
Looool! Nice red ass! Muehehehe Thats really fun.
Thought the game was fun, but it doesn't seem as though there is a way for me to strategically estimate where the mines might be. Good Job.
As theire is no sign at all on where the mines are, I felt like random is everything here. I died more than 10 times on the first 5 sec.
Still, the special effects are cool!
That is cruel!
This is really hard to play the keyboard ...
But I liked the idea, animations and the pile of dead monkeys :)
couldn't play as lack of joystick - why not add keyboard controls as well? to widen your audience?
linux version 404's
I just noticed that it's just two times the regular link in a row, so easily fixable
Liked the explosions effect. I just wish I understood why I kept blowing up all the time. Controls were a little strange too. Interesting idea though.
linux link was updated
Played it all the way to the end! Lots of dead monkeys (around 30 I think). I definitely like your take on the theme.
- It would be more fun if you could have any indication where the mines are. Maybe a small red dot so if you pay attention you can avoid a mine?
- The controls are quite difficult.
- What do the other two abilites on the left do? I can click them but they don't seem to have any effect. Oh and it would be useful it the cooldown for jump would reset on death.
Love it ! I really enjoyed it :) Good job !
Hmmm. It is very frustrating ! I like the monkeys ass ^^
Pretty bad you cant' really see the mines, that onscreen joystick had me running around in circles, too... don't know what else to say, sorry...
Controls are pretty hard and a bit frustrating
