didn't realize that carrying the sentry would make it so they'd be shooting above the enemy, i thought it'd be cute if there was the dynamic of carrying the sentry so they could shoot for the other. but the dynamic of throwing them was also fun once i got the hang of it, though a little micky mouse at the same time. the dying monkey sound was kinda unserious it was funny when they died from my mistakes. i found the puzzles fun, though at times felt a bit frustrating having to pick up the sentry over spikes or accidentally overstep into them. also felt a bit weird that shots only killed the robomice on the face. i liked how in the ironmouse level i figured out i could grab the sentry from over the spikes and still run a bit with them and throw from there, that felt cool. unfortunately at some point something might've crashed which messed up webgl in my browser (firefox) and it was black screen with the sound effects playing. so i couldn't finish the game :( but it was quite the cute concept, nice snippy sound effects, cute and consistent pixel art style and fun dynamic between the two pals. this one could've done with a flashier thumbnail though.
Loved this one! Was definitely NOT overthinking some of the puzzles!
Finished it without hacking.
Also, background music is neat, mixed tight and catchy! Noice job!
nice puzzle, I over thought it too much and it turns out I was just complicating things at times, but when I realized how simple the solutions can be I felt my brain grow three sizes
Yo this is super cute and well made! Really love the puzzle design! Great job! (so many monkeys lost to the abyss 😢)

This one takes the mvp in creativity.

Pretty cool concept and fluid physics like the throws and collisions. Great job!

This is really interesting!
I really like the idea of having to carry your gun wielding buddy, it looks super cool, I love the fact you can throw them off the edge into the abyss, I like the puzzle design, although I will be honest I at first assumed that the spikes will activate if the gun monkey sits on them too, and that if they happen to land on them you have to pick them up very fast - and I do think it could be fun to make it so after the jam is over
Really cool game
ty :)
I really liked this one! Introduced a mechanic, had fun puzzles, and it was done. Just a simple short and sweet game! (also i threw that monkey into the pits so many times since they are so bouncy) OUG

This game is awesome omg! you guys did a good job with the theme and level design.

Fun, bouncy! OUG!
I wish the spikes were a bit more forgiving 😭

The animations are pretty good, you even have diagonal animations! The sounds are good and the music fits very well. The puzzles and controls were a bit hard for me, but that’s probably just my skill issue. Good game, it looks like you put a lot of effort into it. Good job!

Oug. Pretty fun. The bouncy buddy physics were a bit annoying.

Haven't finished all the levels (Just my skill lack ahh), awesome game btw! I disappeared from world for half an hour maybe
ty :D
Oug! Great game! One of the puzzles became impossible because I didn't quite understand that I could do a diagonal throw, but once I figured that out it got a really good. Well done!
OUG
Really good use of the theme and awesome visuals!
Ty :D
OUG OUG, That was an awesome game! Coherent theme and very fun gameplay! The artstyle was also very charming! I loved that!

Charming little puzzle game.
Took me a moment to figure out what some levels required but straight forward once the solution clicks.
Pixel Art is nicely done, level design is fun and decently fun. Solid work!
ty :D
