Only had time to make one level but I'll try to add in some post-jam levels. It's a WASD and mouse game.

Please enjoy!

The baby monkey is very cute! Loved the reverse of a banana trying to eat a monkey XD pretty creative! I enjoyed playing this game and was able to keep him alive!

Some wonderful art and a fun idea! Not particularly complicated, but well executed! Question, are the bananas spawned randomly or based on a predetermined sequence?

Sort of a reverse tower defense? I liked the idea and overall the game was quite polished!

Thank you all for you comments! @funisfun8 the bananas spawn based on proximity to the player or payload. When one gets close enough to a tree it becomes an active spawn-point.

Absolutely love the concept for this, such a fun idea! The rate bananas spawn felt really good and fair, giving the game a nice sense of pace whilst keeping the challenge at a nice level. The levels felt thought out and polished. You made a really good game, well done!

Well, the gameplay is ok, simple and smooth, but I find it kind of dull, probably due the lack of context or story. That is the only issue.

Thank you all for the compliments! @mircea123, I appreciate the criticism. I felt the same way but didnt have time to put more context and purpose behind defending the monkey.

Great job, its a nice and polished game. It got repetitive after a couple of minutes, it needs something to ramp the dificulty up or some variations. Also I thinkg the center of the camera needs to be closer to the monkey because the enemies can show from the edges of the screen.

Thats a good point @jangamesdev, I'll make that change!
