Lots of dead monkeys (around 30 I think). I definitely like your take on the theme.\r\r- It would be more fun if you could have any indication where the mines are. Maybe a small red dot so if you pay attention you can avoid a mine?\r- The controls are quite difficult. \r- What do the other two abilites on the left do? I can click them but they don't seem to have any effect.
