Seeing the dead bodies rolling is curiously satisfying. This deserves 5 stars! :)\r<br\/>The jumping is a little buggy, though: sometimes the monkey jumps twice with only one button press, therefore hitting the ceiling (and sometimes the chainsaws), and if the screen is too crowded with dead bodies, the monkey can't jump. I'd suggest adding a button to reset the game.\r<br\/>Excellent competitive game, I think you should keep developing it!"}],"images":["ld32\/52403-f4cdfc7fb20cb7c93b61b2f51fafec90.jpg","ld32\/52403-8a563bfc1064671c9be4bfda072c9e48.jpg","ld32\/52403-d2401b91c60c41ccb27c5b0384074d10.jpg","ld32\/52403-d7fa9f464244a06707697df439a217a4.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.scumbly.com\/misc\/monkeypopweb\/Monkeypopweb.html","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/bit.ly\/monkeypopwin","text":"Windows"},{"url":"http:\/\/bit.ly\/monkeypopmac","text":"OS\/X"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"10818","g_author":"52403","g_event":"LD32","g_eventkey":"27","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"10852","g_title":"Monkey Pop","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"239","g_commentcount":"24","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/52403-shot0-1429581710.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/52403-shot1-1429581710.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/52403-shot2-1429581710.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/444368\/52403-shot3-1429581710.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Monkey Pop is a competitive game for 2 players.
