Press space to attack or interact. Arrow keys control your character. C calls allied units, and V tells allies to defend this location.


If you get the error where a portion of the screen is white, you'll have to manually resize the screen to the non-white portion.

Tips:
attack from behind your soldiers so you don't get hurt.
Go back to your base after each wave.

I couldn't make it past that blue guy, love the look will probably play some more later to see if I can get further.

Took a while to understand that the monkeys were my friends. Also, I hardly used the 'v' key.
I really liked the 'evolution'. My favorite character was the archer. (Is the soldier supposed to throw that grenade?)

I had some issues dealing with the server hosting the game, but everything should be up to date and working now.

Pretty good! One thing that was kind of confusing - I couldn't really tell when I was allowed to spawn a new monkey. Would be cool if there was a resource gathering aspect to this as well so it was more like a realtime strategy game - gather resources, build more huts, spawn more units, ect. Anyway, nice job.

Nothing would load for me. I get a black screen with "1 Million BC" stuck at the bottom.

Simple idea, but very challenging.

It didn't load right. The bottom half of my screen was white.

That was fun.

I was somewhat dissapointed that my little dudes would clump together all the time, decreasing the thrill of having my own band of havok wrecking monkeys/soldiers.

I think it'd be better if the time to walk from end to end was either shorter or more eventful.

Cool theme. Difficult to deal with those big dudes though!! Enjoyed the game very much. Good job.

Would be a lot more fun, if there was a 'RUN BACK TO BASE' option.

The grenade seemed disappointingly useless. I kept thinking, "I wish I had a shovel like my soldiers." :) Nice graphics, and going through the different eras was pretty neat.
