It makes me go bananas with how good it is!

This was pretty unique, I enjoyed it. I kind of think you could have left out the attacks and just implemented the 10 second theme with something happening to stocks like a crash or a extreme high. Not that the attacks didn't make it interesting. Nice job

good game here, the goal was a little low and the snakes being wrenchs was hilarious. i wouldnt say its a bad game

alphabetasoup 2022-10-03 21:22

Unique idea that made me laugh. You should post this in r/wallstreetbets!

“C'est banana! Hahaha! Miam Miam! Huh?”

Really enjoyed the intro music. Intersting mix of mechanics, would've been nice to buy an hp increase at some point, as I feel the random nature of the wrenches sometimes gave me a near impossible scenario to avoid being hit. I wish I could see that far into the real stock market! Didn't expect the Nietzsche quote either haha! Good job!

The monkey character looks great, and the humor is a nice touch to the game. Nice job!

baidan6 2022-10-04 17:13

Very stylish protagonist, interesting game concept, develop further

house-trap-charlie 2022-10-04 17:15

Love the humour in this one! Took me a few attempts to complete it which makes sense as I am so bad with stocks!!

laurahur 2022-10-04 17:17

That monkey dude is awesome, loved that! And it's a really interesting idea and take on the theme, points going your way for that

Super fun! The 10 second attacks happened just often enough to keep me on my toes!

narudgi 2022-10-04 20:57

Haha fun idea, requires quite the dexterity! I never get tired of selling SFXs

Really fun! Worrying close to real-life experiences buying crypto. As soon as I buy the price tanks, and as soon as I sell it rockets. Then someone hits me with a wrench

Great game, it kept my interest for some time!

A little longer would be nice..

paul-avallone 2022-10-05 03:54

Funny concept. I wish the chart actually was accurate to the stock number. Music was excellent. Good job.

liquidfunk 2022-10-05 13:43

@paul-avallone It is! However it’s the rightmost part of the graph, not the center. Those lines centered on the graph were a bit of a design miss in hindsight.

This cracked me up, apes strong together indeed

10 blows to the head with a wrench out of 10. Funny idea and implementation. =)

brainloaf-studio 2022-10-06 23:51

Love the concept, and also the sprite for Don Aper- he's beautiful. It's pretty fun keeping your eye on the charts while trying to avoid those dastardly wrenches. The music is also a real jam. I do wish the game got more chaotic with the 10-second event as time went on, though the chart itself is already pretty chaotic by itself. Well done!

jamdong15 2022-10-07 08:19

This game is so charming! :) The buy / sell mechanism was really fun and trying to multi-task was surprisingly difficult. I also love the art for Don Aper and the music choices as well. My only piece of feedback is that sometimes that Z (Buy) button was pretty slow / delayed. Though, that might be because I was playing on browser? Not sure. In any case, this was a great entry. Congratulations :)

Lastly, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game as well! Any feedback would be very welcomehttps://ldj.am/$303168

hare-software 2022-10-07 14:16

Took me a few tries but I made it in the end! Funy entry, well done!

mar3k 2022-10-08 12:22

Lovely game. I really like the idea, I've never seen this anywhere and it works well. It gets quite difficult if one wants to do well with the selling. Well done.

foggydude 2022-10-08 12:26

This is the best game ever, the ending was worth everything.

sp3d2 2022-10-08 12:28

You made me laugh!Wonderful idea!

liquidfunk 2022-10-08 15:04

@foggydude Thanks! The ending screen is indeed something special :monkey:

xsangyhix 2022-10-08 21:08

I really like this game. It combines two genres well. It really makes you work for your bananas. There is icing on the cake which is the ending. As it comes to improvements: you obviously can work on graphics. I do think that the collidesr on wrenches were to big.

spex130 2022-10-09 02:30

This is hilarious haha. I really enjoyed the game the whole time through.

jesusonwheels 2022-10-09 03:41

Monkey game = fun. But in all seriousness, the graph adjusting to the upper and lower bounds often makes it deceptive. If instead the graph adjusted based on your total amount of money, I think it would be much more clear. The music was an jam, so much appreciated. Good work!

liquidfunk 2022-10-09 09:24

@xsangyhix Thanks for playing! It was great watching your stream :ok_hand:

choo 2022-10-10 17:31

Timing the market beats time in the market ohoho. Had a good laugh with this game :). Got a bit confused by the green axis thinking the current value was at the screen center (and we had magical monkey future-sight!). Loved it, song now stuck in head aahhh

dodgergram 2022-10-16 14:36

I like the funny monkey (:
