How does the game fit the theme?
Monkey Daycare is an observation and strategy game where you manage enclosures full of mischievous monkeys. Unfortunately, these monkeys do not behave.
They steal supplies, start fights and sabotage the daycare constantly, and every monkey has a different level of trustworthiness.
When an incident occurs, you must study their accusations, remember their behaviour and decide who is telling the truth.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The game was made in Unity and uses TextMesh Pro, and third-party fonts. All game-specific programming, artwork, animation, music and sound effects were created by the team during the jam.

I really love this game — it just has this simple, joyful feeling. Right now, I've forgotten all my worries and I'm off exploring the primitive forest on a tropical island, playing with the monkeys!
What a fun game! At first it was a little bit difficult, but when you knew how to do the things around, its a pretty good game!
Lovely Game
The polish on the game is top-notch! Overall very well done, it was the visuals that stood out to me especially though, its so cute and silly and so well animated!
I was told to only give negative feedback, so here it is:
1. the intro music is not my favourite song within the game (I couldn't think of anything else in music)
2. the art style is simple (not at all saying it's bad, just a very efficient use of time, and works really well, and looks great!!! you don't need high detail for high quality)
3. it's quite hard to guess who did it! (I'm presuming it's half the point, and it's a fun challenge!)
4. itch CAPTCHAs are annoying.
Thank you for the negative feedback! Appreciate it :)
ikr, the captchas ALWAYS get me lol
they're SO ANNOYING (CAPTCHAs)
I liked this monkey game
Monkey see monkey game, monkey play game. This game is a certified gem, best of the game jam so far for me, the gameplay is simple and intuitive, the game has a crazy amount of polish, everything goes so well together, the ui the animations the music etc etc, Loved this! (the monkey in the main menu be spittin mad lyrics)
This game is really well made and polished, amazing idea with amazing implementation, The visuals were also top notch. Great Job with the game
heh heh this game made me smile. so good on all levels.
A really amazing game, one of if not the most polished i've seen yet, the artstyle is fun, the idea is fun, the game is fun, congratulations, this is one of my favorites
I like how to take social interactions and turn it into gameplay which I could not think of, I had thought about making some sort of games like "The Mafia" or "Amongus" but all I can think of is making it a multiplayer game. Your game made me realized that this idea works too! A well made game!
ABSOLUTE BANGER BRO. also how did u get so many ppl to rate you?
I'm a simple man. I see monkeys. I play game about monkeys. This was nice! I liked how quick each round went. It was easy to pick up and follow what to do. My only complaint is that the main menu song was... so loud, lol. Thankfully you had sliders for that! Good job!
Ahaha thank you! Wash looks really fun too. A friend in my studio was playing it the other day and it looked great. I need to play it tomorrow.
Hope we didn't bust your eardrums
Haha, on one hand I was like "MY EARS" But then... when I turned it down, loved the incorporation of monkey sounds into the theme song for sure, so it made up for that :D
I like the art, gameplay, and music (BANGER)
I like the artistic style so half absurd it makes you smile
The art and goofy animations give this entry so much personality and polish. A clearer visual indicator for the active mess would make navigating the deduction phase feel even punchier.
easily one of the most entertaining submissions in the jam
fun i love how the monkeys do their little waddle plus the theme is really clear in this game
An incredibly funny and interesting concept! And the art style is just something else! A unique project! Huge thumbs up!
Gorgeous and fun game, I love the monkeys, and it's very innovative with the theme.
