Man, this is awesome use of the theme, 100% fit! Also, the graphics is great and I really like the animal life voiceover. 10 monkeys of 10!

I LOVE THIS

Love the voiceover! Novel mechanics. The squishing mechanic is a little hard to control though as I accidentally pick up non-arrows and can't sort the monkeys on the spot. Otherwise, controls were tight and game was super fun. That last level was a nightmare to complete though!

Really funny take on the theme, I like how you turned it into a nature documentary. The game has solid, interesting mechanics, but the levels got very difficult and tedious towards the end, throwing around spears and constantly restarting isn't very engaging.

I really enjoyed this entry! The overall use of the theme, the narration, and the gameplay was all very nice! Some of the bugs such as the monkeys going through walls occasionally when thrown were a little frustrating as well as not being able to throw regular monkeys when you have arrows. If there was a way to switch to normal monkeys when you have arrows that would be nice!

I enjoyed the sound effects and the little animations on the monkeys. Overall I think you did very well on this entry. Good job!

This is soooo awesome! The biggest problem this game has is that its flash. Level design is cool, theme is great, humor is there, graphics are there, polish is there. It's just very good.

Thanks everyone for playing it! :) @adventureislands and @kantieno I think I've fixed the "pass through wall" bug, thanks for pointing that out!

Very cool concept! A nice puzzle platformer with great graphics and a nice little background story. Really love the animations of the little monkeys. The only downsides are the movement (which is a tiny bit stiff) and that it is made in Flash. Normally when I'm browsing I don't run Flash applets because it is old and unsafe, but you probably know that yourself.

Overall a very polished and fun game!

Super clean and cohesive package as usual! The initial impression is one of the best I've seen from a solo game, it's hard to imagine how much work it was to get the art, narration, and UI to all look so good for the player right off the bat.

At first, when I saw the first sacrifice level, I did think it was going to be very similar to other "die to keep going" types of games, like where you have unlimited clones and keep using their dead bodies to jump on and continue. I was really glad to see the arrow mechanic though! That was unexpected and added a lot of depth to an otherwise tame genre.

I feel like you always consider putting speedrun mechanics in your games because there are some clever tricks you can do to go fast in this game, like immediately grabbing an arrow as soon as you bounced off a monkey, and the fact that levels have multiple paths depending on good you think you are.

This game was an excellent evolution from your previous. I'm impressed you can keep pushing your genres forward while still applying a high level of polish to your games. Great job!

The controls were nice. I'd like a better way to pick things up since I kept accidentally throwing things. Puzzles were great, I could definitely see expanding this out quite a bit. Nice job!

Fantastic! Great use of the sacrifice theme. Graphics are cute, sounds are cute, the narration is a nice touch. Well done!

Great entry. The theme fits really well, and I just love the nice touch of the gravestones after each level. Poor monkeys :cry:

The game is great ! The commentary-style voice is an awesome idea, and it feels very polished overall ! Congrats :)

Maybe if you bind the jump to spacebar instead of W, it would be even better. Also adding a way to move the camera a bit would help for some levels. Anyway, good job ! :)

Great game! Loved it :)

Great game!! I love this! 100% use of the theme. Cute monkeys and audio is very cool :D

Well made! i love the documentary aspect you've put in the game! it reminded me of old school Nitrome games, wich I absolutely adore

Excellent entry!! This is so funny, great use of the theme

Loved it! Cool idea and great execution with a lot of polish. The documentary voice over was a nice touch :D.

This game is bananas!
Jokes aside, this is great! The audio and voiceover is hilarious, the art beautiful, the idea great and the execution even better. One of the best games I played so far.

I tip my hat to you! Congrats and see you around ;)

Text to speech has come a long way! I had to give up on the level with 10 babies.. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?!? Really good entry, very educational about nature. I'd have liked a way to arrow-shoot babies without needing the stomp. (just to save time) Nice to see Flash still kickin'

Wow this is really a high quality game! The approach is matching the theme very well. (We had a similar concept but in our case we were sacrificing friends to reach our goals. :) )
Graphics, music and narrator are just on point. I really had to laugh out loud about the funny sounds and the faces the monkeys made. And the riddles are fun, too. It's a beautiful and entertaining piece of art.

Your game was played on my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/ursagames/videos ) on the fourth day of Ludum Dare streams. Thank you for sharing your game with us! You can find the timestamp of when your game was played here: https://goo.gl/N2rkr8

love it. adding the documentary really killing it. At first i was expecting the reporter to go batshit crazy when the monkey first throw their children to the pit.

This is a great entry! There's nothing else to add :D Except VERY WELL DONE!!

Wow! The voice-over along with the camera framing turn it into something so much more interesting than "just" a platformer. I did not expect it to be a "fake" voice either, it sounds really good! I love that you named the poor sacrificed babies. And the arrow + ladder is brutal but such an interesting mechanic.

Great game, solid entry! Good Job! I Had a great time playing it! :heart:

Great idea and very original with 2 possible sacrifice benefit + being able to shoot bananas. Interesting puzzle game and it took me a while to finish it. Works great and has no drawback. Good job and keep it up! :)

Very original puzzler! The narrator creates a funny atmosphere, the sprites are lovely and the puzzles well done. Good job!

Great game and a great idea to fit the theme, fantastic job as well with the narration I thought it was very funny! Great job and best of luck!

Very, very good. It must be hard to be a solo dev. I wish you the best of luck on your dev journey.

Really fun! It was a bit tedious in the later levels having to keep jumping on the babies to flatten them, wish there was an easier way to do that. That's a minor complaint though and I admit that it is pretty cute stomping on them. Maybe if there was an easier way to pick them up once they are flattened or something?

Anyways, great job!

Loved your game, the humor was great! Very cute animations with little fun surprises, like the tombstones with names on it, the heart eyes of the babys etc. I also liked that you extended the gameplay with the monkey arrows to make it different. Great job.

Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/UvsNqUUFv6I

this game fits the theme amazingly

This was really fun and cool - great audio, cute graphics, solid gameplay with multiple mechanics - really impressive for a game made so quickly! it was fun and challenging to play but not frustrating or impossible to win.

Great! One of the most brutal games here
