Chimp Chef's Dastardly Onion Adventure by Cammin

[raw]
made by Cammin for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

In the treehouse kitchen, the monkey head chef berates chimp chef about his bland dish.

He needs to add onions to the dish so it has some flavour, so chimp chef must head out and find some!

Your goal is to find baby onions from the mother onion's nest and stash them back at the tree bucket. Stash enough onions while dodging the mother onions to win!

Look with Right Stick / Mouse
Move with Left Stick / WASD
Jump with A / Space
Sprint with Left Trigger / Left Shift

Well then. This was seriously something. I don't really know what to make of the premise. I loved it, and was scared by it. Once the game got going, I enjoyed the stealth mechanics and tension of trying to abduct those sweet onion babies without being flattened by their leggy parents. There's a lot I could say about UX and design, but really, I feel like this entry made up for it with its beautifully diverse OST.

Thanks for the game, I'll be dreaming about it tonight.

@adamcyounis Thanks for playing! I'm a big fan of your work. I didn't put much attention into the UI, definitely still something for me to do later. Was certainly quite a learning experience :)

Really interesting premise lolll I loved the gordon ramsey chimp in the beginning. The intensity of being chased is also quite an experience XD I think thats because a good use of ost and effects to make the moment more scary. Overall funky experience! I really wonder where the idea came from loll

@sofimei Thanks for playing! Happy that you enjoyed it :)
Yeah, the funky ideas came up when I thought of a game idea where a chef needs onions so he travels to his backyard to find them, and it would have been a simple collecting game.
When I showed the idea to the Modeler for this project, he had an idea to make the characters chimpanzees and to also make the onions sentient with nests and a family. We decided to carry out the idea and we've definitely got an interesting outcome! Haha
