This is so good. Reminds me of the great flash games that you cant put down. It's difficult... but I know its a skill issue ðŸ˜SUPER CUTE ART TOO
i like this barrels of monkeys linking idea and the character designs are quite cute, particularly mouse with the eyes. the background noise was rather..... eery, with the echoing monkey noises. maybe not the best for vibes. it's kinda annoying to have to take your hand off the keyboard so the mouse can click next, if there's no other mouse controls then letting your menus be controlled by keyboard would be best. controls are a bit hard for me to read in just text without relational positions, like i don't recognize A and D just like that but i'd recognize their positions in relation to WASD so a visual of those keys with just the A and D highlighted would make it easier to read. the hands release thing was a bit hard to get a hang of but i did figure it out. it's just a bit trippy because you kinda expect to follow the momentum into the direction you press so sometimes when i want to launch right i'll default to right key instead of left. but when it got to level 6 it was kinda easier this way to swap hands with the guy on the left. still frustrating though when the hands didn't line up well enough to grab. it was a little later i realized i could click to also grab and release which felt a lot nicer for me since it seemed to work more often. kinda gave up at level 7 though. this was a cool concept but with more time could've made the mechanics feel much smoother.
Super fun and super good use of the pals!!! hard but just right (except when i mixed up the left and right hand, but thats on me)! Good job!
Honestly you had such as sick story-based crane game, so that is really nice to hear that from you!
dude this was so fun! that's a 5 stars from me! reminds me of those old flash games, really fun, really cool!
Thank you so much! I loved your game as well!
The Game looks pretty good and the idea works pretty well, it still needs some polishing in some areas, especially in how the characters move, I could see this working wonders as a phone game
Pretty good and original game, the sprites of the character are pretty well made, good job!
Thank you! I was a big fan of your game as well!
I like the, the controls are so bad it is good. Will probably benefit from more visual feedback or button prompts on when it is possible to grab.
Very challenging but very fun! My only comment is with the audio, i kinda made me feel uneasy, still very funny!
Yeah we definitely made the audio a bit of a meme lol
Really fun game! hard but fun :D
Very pretty, quite interesting physics game. Simple but sweet
Okay, this one’s really good! Fun physics, and has that ‘just one more’ feeling to it. Very unique take!
Thank you for the kind comment. The "just one more" feeling is what we were targeting, so I am glad to hear it panned out!
I really like this! I like the incorporation of the theme and the gameplay, though a little tough to control and get used to, was plenty of fun challenge. Well done!
look's very unique i really like it reminds me of have ho :3
I really liked the momentum, but damn that 7th level got me messed up rn T-T
Very unique game, and take on the theme. I like it!
10/10 would swing again
I managed to get to level 10, but it was already too much for me. Nice game.
That’s genuinely impressive! Thank you for spending the time to give it a proper play through
Really cool game, once you figure out the little quirks it plays really well (those spikes are tricky!). Lot of funs and love the take on the theme. Very nice work!
Really not sure if it's me but it seems like that nothing is happening when I press A or D. But letting go of the other, this does work 😂 But seems like the concept is a really nice thing
Make sure the window is selected when trying to use A + D. It will slowly swing you back and forth on the vine. Thanks for trying the game!
Did that and made sure to have the game in focus but didn't work. However, after loading it up again now for another try worked. Plays very nice!
Glad to hear! Thank you for giving it another try
