Cute!

I liked the rope physics, though I think it would have been nice to have a shorter delay between punches.

Good work!

I really enjoyed the movement and loved the art. Would have liked for the punches to be a bit more forgiving. Great Job!

A super charming little game - it's super. I love the artwork both the graphics and audio come together nicely. Plus the rope physics was also nice. I was thinking in the beginning oh this would be great if the rope would be moved, and then the boss fight came :smile: I assume with more time the gameplay could have been made more interesting (different maps, different enemies). The monkeys were so cute! Congrats, great job.

I think I really would have liked it if there were more elements in the game. Other than that, a nice entry, I especially like the rope mechanics.

This was pretty good! I really liked the art, but what to stood out to me was the music. It was really good and helped set the mood. I would have liked more of an indicator when a monkey was about to punch, so our actions were more reactionary rather than guess based, but other than that, good fun!

Really liked the rope mechanics, and the final boss was nicely done!

I love the rope physics, it certainly feels "unstable"! When I hit the monkeys, I wanted to feel a stronger impact, maybe with a particle effect, screen shake, or a punchier sound effect. The boss fight was excellent, you really nailed the animations so I was able to anticipate his attacks and focus my effort on fighting the rope movement to scramble out of his way! Well done!

Rope physics on point. Fun and nicely balanced game. Had a great time.

Really enjoyed this one! Running up to a monkey and punching it is super satisfying. The sounds, animations and general vibe are great too. Nice work!

Nice game! Really stable physics, and good art design. The controls feel tight and consistent, and the boss battle was a great idea. I like it!

oo this one's tough. Really feels like an old arcade game that would eat a few rolls of quarters, right down to the music and graphics.

This was really fun, I got over 8k points! Great job with the rope physics, especially during the boss fight. It took me a few tries to pass him. It's really fun to time you punches just right hit the monkeys right as they land on the rope. Really nice retro style art as well and the music and sfx were pretty fitting :D

Very funny! The name seemed very good to me as well as the art and the animations. A simple but fun game, good job xD

Very funny and original game! Art is great too. Gameplay would be more interesting if there was more strategy to jumping over the monkeys. Great idea to have the boss perturb the rope, though the resulting rope physics seem a bit random.

Not sure how banana is a martyr, those monkeys got exterminated. Boss is quite a climax, those were some fine waves.
