We are in with the idea of a top down 2d pixel game where a monkey delivery driver must deliver the truck of bananas to the store while avoiding Yakuza monkey clan members from stealing the truck.

We will be creating a top down 2d pixel art driving game where user can play as a monkey delivery driver trying to deliver a truck full of bananas while avoiding the monkey Yakuza gang members trying to steal the truck. Time permitted we may try to setup the user playing as the gang members and possibly many players.

Making a 2d top down driving game with monkeys and delivery truck

Pixel art has been going great but gameplay coding is still wip. Hope to be done just in time and to at least be playable! Definitely 72hours is not enough time for a lot of game polish with a 2 man team.

We released our game Banana Snatchers at the deadline. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/53/banana-snatchers

First time building a game with Godot and noticed some bugs with the core gameplay have crept in. Drifting seems to not auto stop as it should when you release the stick. Also HTML version does not seem to allow you to throw monkeys, button not responding. Throwing the monkeys is the core way to win the game so I will try to fix that.

First time trying a game Jam and it was fun. We definitely spent too much time on the art and not enough on controls and bug testing gameplay. But fun experience! Will participate in the next one and find time to rate some games for this round.

Try to get 6 monkeys on the delivery truck to secure the bananas for your boss!

It's got explosions and flying monkeys

Controls are rather tricky. We will actually rethink and develop a much more engaging driving experience for this. But for now see if you can get the monkeys on the delivery truck without exploding.

Added a radar to find the truck. Improved the controls including the keyboard controls (still more refinement coming). Added ability for truck to drop crates to hinder player and speed up after a sucessful monkey attack. Menu fixes.

2nd time around, should be easier right?
