Monkey Business by colludium
So, after many cups of coffee (and a couple of beers) I think I have finished as much as I can this weekend.
Monkey Business
You are a gorilla who has to defend his/her territory. Find food to eat so you can throw your poop at invading tourists and poachers. Watch out for traps and bullets - and remember, if you run out of poop then you're defenseless.... Complete all 6 levels to banish the invaders from your territory!
Please play this game in Chrome...
This platform game uses ASDW or the Arrow Keys to move; space bar to shoot poop and the Z key as an alternate jump key. Use TAB to toggle full screen and M to turn the music off if it starts to drive you bananas... If you have an XBox Controller then plug it in - it is supported as well.
Made with Construct 2 and some other tools (details in the game).

I managed to finish the game but some levels took a few tries. The graphics / sfx / music were spot on. Well done!
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.
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 (: )
@Truck - LOL, divebomb pooping! If only I had thought of that 36 hours ago...
Nice work :D
Ebola. Must have been ebola.
Great graphics. Interesting theme. Bit brutal in the difficulty just starting out.
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 !
The idle animation is awesome x)
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 :)
