Fun little physics puzzler game. The first level was a bit confusing for me since I didn't understand I was supposed to drag the banana for a while (just assumed the monkey would grab when it could). After the first level, I was trained to dispose of boxes off screen. But on the second level, disposing of boxes was suddenly a condition for losing. While I enjoyed the added challenge of rebalancing displaced blocks, it was not taught well (although easy to learn). The graphics were excellent and the gameplay was smooth. Nice work on this!

Amazing, very addictive. Reminds me of the good old The Incredible Machine, but distilled into a simple form. Physics are so unforgiving. I can see this as a mobile game easily. Also, very child-friendly.

Very chill game. It perfectly designed with the physics and graphics, however it took a while to figure out I had to drag the banana.

It's a good interpretation of the theme. It was okay once I got going, but a bit frustrating. There was no easy way to rebuild structures with an opening, so it was very much just yeeting everything and hoping for the best. Still, a bit of fun!

Great concept.

There could be a better narrative explanation for why boxes falling means you lose

I love this, the puzzles are fun and strike good balance in difficulty. Moving boxes feels satisfying and seeing them fall over looks nice so it doesn't hurt too much that you just lost the level. Overall, very well done!

Funny concept. Sometimes i could not grab the banana, but for the most part it worked great. I made it through all the levels (some only with luck and a fast mouse). It could have been clearer at the beginning, that fallen boxes lead to a game over and that I need to drag the banana.
Graphics and Music are nice also. Overall a good entry.

Great puzzle design! I let my 11 year old try and she had a lot fun with it. Overall cute game, good concept, and I think there's a lot of potential here for an expanded game. Good job!

Good game! Sometime I didn't know if I needed to think about where to drag the boxes or just being fast haha
