I was not able to play, I simple did not understand how the controls were supposed to work, but I got some King Monkey references there :D

I cannot understand how to control the pole rotation with the mouse.

Otherwise it looks really solid entry!

it's a bit hard to understand how you are supposed to move

One of a kind controls, not the most intuitive but fascinating, and really hilarious executed.

Interesting concept. I have to agree that it's hard to control, but I suppose that that was the point of the game :)

Haha that was fun! Love the very serious expression my little Sun Wukong has throughout. :)

The controls are really awkward but sometimes that's quite fun in itself, in an Octodaddy sort of way.

Altogether a very entertaining entry. Needs a little polish but has lots of charm.

Great game! Very friendly graphics, space music was nice, and the gameplay... so much fun! I never figured out how to move properly, but the monkey kept jumping around a lot and it was great to experiment. Nice job!

Very innovative concept, but ultimately very difficult to control. Nice humor, but the game needed a bit more balancing.

The concept seems good but it's barely impossible to control the monkey.
