oh right, gravity.

Fun game, but hard to understand at first. Maybe an automatic restart if you throw the poop and don't kill the guy would be nice.

colludium 2015-04-20 02:41

Good point on the poop-throwing-learning-curve. No poop to throw = unable to attack! I'll add a note to the description.

igizzy 2015-04-20 04:23

fantastic entry! I feel having jump on the space button would make more usability sense than z. Other than that fantastic work!

lyxilion 2015-04-20 13:55

Noo I died xD funny !

nezzhil 2015-04-20 13:56

Nice job! I love the gravity-death. :)

bradur 2015-04-20 14:15

A very well made platformer that is quite hard as well. Especially those guys who shoot through the trees, so OP!

I managed to finish the game but some levels took a few tries. The graphics / sfx / music were spot on. Well done!

pushmepullyu 2015-04-20 14:51

Good graphics and really really good controls! So fun too haha!

buko-studios 2015-04-20 15:29

very nice and funny game! love how it cartwheels before sending its poop into the air.

colludium 2015-04-20 15:32

Thank you all for your comments and feedback! I'm glad you found it fun!

I have a love/hate relationship with this game.

Love - The general silliness of it all, the character's movement, the slow motion (wish there were more of that), the animations, the dude pissing.

Hate - SPIKES IN TREES, bullets (possibly going through trees) coming out of no where an killing you.

A fun entry that, despite my frustrations, I couldn't stop playing until I beat it.

I like how the walking people won't walk into the traps, but I don't like how they don't die from bullets (:

Still, excellent game, yes, with some more work it may have good potential as a full game. Will need more content, and perhaps divebomb pooping (: (Which is what I tried at first (: )

colludium 2015-04-20 16:36

@zatyka - Thank you, sounds like a good (I hope) fun/frustration mix!? I'm pleased you stuck it out and beat it!

@Truck - LOL, divebomb pooping! If only I had thought of that 36 hours ago...

donan 2015-04-20 20:00

Enjoyed a lot the game xD, but traps were really bitchy :P
Nice work :D

luisdc 2015-04-20 21:58

Great game. Good gameplay and graphics. I really like the way you did the climbing.

cicanci 2015-04-21 00:14

Fun game! Nice job!

ultravisitor 2015-04-21 00:17

The art in this game is really unique. The menu text is a little hard to read(light green on slightly less light green) but once you get in the game its really a really interesting world to look at. The climbing and running control is well done although I kind of wish I didn't die when I jump out of the tree. There certainly isn't enough pooping in slow motion games out there and at this time I think you have that **** on lockdown.

fluidvolt 2015-04-21 00:18

Hehe, what a game. Definitely an unconventional weapon. I'm digging the drum-n-bass funk music, and I really liked how smooth the climbing mechanic feels. Nice one.

dannorder 2015-04-21 00:20

Odd that when a gorilla jumps on some guy's head the gorilla explodes in a shower of blood.

Ebola. Must have been ebola.

Great graphics. Interesting theme. Bit brutal in the difficulty just starting out.

gene-z 2015-04-21 00:23

Good game ,,, but dear Lord,, poor monkey

colludium 2015-04-21 00:46

Ha - yes! Gorilla death options became just from a selection of one because of the time limit. I had started animating a tourist knife attack v gorilla but it just became too much so I cut my losses....

scumbly 2015-04-21 04:22

Love how the monkey climbs! And the slow-motion on level 1 was a nice touch.

broknecho 2015-04-21 06:31

Really great entry. Well done. Super fun and fairly tight controls. Good job!

seconddimension 2015-04-21 16:34

Cool entry, I enjoyed the slo-mo poop kills. There was something really satisfying about running up trees too, kept doing it over and over

kyatric 2015-04-21 17:03

Frustrating, that's what I really take on this game.
The controls felt a bit "moon-like" at times, with a strange momentum that did not make sense.
Spikes in trees and on the ground :/
Why can't I move around the tree trunk when bullets can go through it from anywhere ?

Also why touching a hunter makes it so that I must die the next time I hit the ground/a platform/branch ? This does not make sense to me and adds to the overall frustration.

I like the idea of throwing poop, the "monkey business" joke and theme, it's all nice, but I believe the game would have been better if more accessible/fair. At least I know I would have enjoyed it far more.

Good job doing a game in 48 hours nonetheless !

colludium 2015-04-21 17:28

@Kyatric - I know, I just ran out of time to make a human-kills-gorilla animation. Maybe next time I won't get beaten by the time limit...

mekuri 2015-04-21 18:01

Great game. Nice artwork and smooth controls. Felt very polished, except for a few minor bugs. (Got some random freezes for a few seconds a few times)

thegamefather 2015-04-22 02:07

It's so funny haha. The game feel is solid. The climbing mechanics fits the gorilla.

eregaia 2015-04-22 02:35

just eatn and shitn, love the tree climbing mechanic.

noxiistudio 2015-04-22 05:55

Very funny game, asking for a bit of adaptation first for the controls, but then letting you do what you do best as a monkey easily ;)
The idle animation is awesome x)

p4nurge 2015-04-22 16:36

Nice control system, graphics, audio, learning curve and animations. Also, acrobatic pooping! Nothing to fault here. :)

sputnik 2015-04-22 20:20

Well... it's a pooping gorila... What can I say! Nice climbing mecanics!

jpdev 2015-04-24 07:00

Wow, really liked that one.
Nice climbing and overall feel to the monkey controls.

Also absolutely the best interpretation of the theme ;) (why? Because that's what I did too - right down to eating bananas to gain more poo :) )

And: Wow, humans and also poo are way more deadly than I thought :)

voider 2015-04-26 17:08

Great game. Good graphics and sounds. Good job!
