hi all, im the artist ^^

How do I buy things? Clicking doesn't do anything. The art looks nice.

zekyon 2013-07-30 08:16

Try right click on your base :)

It would be nice if you could heal your monkeys from your base. Not a bad effort.

Coolbeans! Honestly, I found this game to be quite clunky - with pathfinding not working quite right and problems with the selection box and whatnot. Still, I stuck with it cuz it had cute graphics and a great tropical, jungly soundtrack. :)

I found a bit of strategy in there too. At first I was tempted to stop the crocks from killing my first tower, but that always ended up failing. So I just let my troops build up at my last tower and let my first one fall. Then I was able to overwhelm the smaller clusters of crocks all the way back to their main base. :D Lose a battle, but win the war. That's what strategy is all about.

Controls are a bit intractable, but graphics are cute. Did you do the music?

zekyon 2013-07-31 19:03

Yes, all of you are right about the control, we had some problems implementing them, and maybe makes the game be more hard, I know.
About the music, are two songs of free use we took from internet, its author is Kevin MacLeod.

Thanks for the feedback and we promise do it better in the next ludum dare!

Ok, I know my english is very bad, sorry :/

Game is seriously hard to beat and controls make it harder. It should have been left click for everything :)
But graphics and music are really nice. Worths the try :D

Kinda clunky but good

Pretty fun. Pretty hard, but the controls weren't too good. Liked the graphics though.

Well I don't have much to add. Just graphics and sounds are great, but pathfinding and controls not so.
Why do we need a complicated menu just to create monkeys? One button on the screen would have done the same, heck just pressing spacebar to create monkeys would have been enough.

Great game, the ai is quite clever :D
