[Released] The Real Monkeys

[pnevares]

Hey folks! This is my first Wizard Jam, and my first entry in a public game jam! Hope everyone had at least as much fun as I had trying out something new. I based mine on Important If True 21: The Real Monkeys.

 

I took about a week off to enjoy the holiday so the scope is very low and I'm really just happy to have completed something for the jam.

 

I tried my hand at two diversifiers: Talk Is Cheap and Simple Input. It was fun to try making an in-game tutorial without words!

 

 

Warning: Audio is necessary for this game!

Here's the Trello board I used to keep track of ideas, and what got left out of the released version: https://trello.com/b/q4wrT5Kn/wizard-jam-6

Nice, that's a really unique puzzle idea! It was pretty difficult when there was lots of fake monkeys but I did succeed in a level where half were real.

I agree, the game can be tricky but the concept is very nice and satisfying. 

 

I'm not sure if this even counts as a spoiler, but

maybe you should recommend turning on the sound. The first I checked your page, I didn't have the speakers on and was very confused about the gameplay.

Thanks for checking it out @atte @Nappi! A note about sound being required seems so obvious in hindsight. I'll see if I can update the game page with a note!
