Graphics are nice, I don't know if using the suzanne head is allowed though.
It was fun, but it ran a bit slow on my computer.

I like the look of the buildings. Having to switch between so many colors seems an unnecessarily frustrating mechanic, even though in the end I only found a whole bunch of yellow monkeys and a single red (maybe orange?) one. I also like how you made the player more evil for not just having to kill monkies, but monkyELVES.

First game that was able to scare me :) Sounds would have been nice though to be able to check if there's a monkey behind you. Died sometimes without knowing what happened. Lazy me just bombed the melves from a distance but got surprised by those living on the 1st floor :) I liked it

I don't think my laptop can handle this. It crashed as soon as I clicked Start Game. I'll try it again later on on a different computer.

Pretty weird. Sort of game i'd love to play drunk.

Clever use of Suzanne head, but you don't really feel like a villain, and there's no point to the game. You're shooting monkey people just because they're there.

The game looks a bit as if it was designed to demonstrate the basics of blender ;) Found it funny for a shortwhile, but I couldn't find a difference in the colored projectiles or any goal to achieve. But I laughed while reading your description :)

Monkeys made me really scared at first. :)
Anyway I didn't understand if ball colors really affect the game.

something quite jarring about those floating, limbless chimps.

125 megabytes? One-hundred-twenty-five megabytes. For this? What on earth is it all being used on? You have 3 meshes: the building, the ground, and the monkey. You have a few textures for them, but 125 megabytes? I have no idea how you managed to achieve that.

That aside, it was somewhat jarring to see that first monkey float down on to me from several stories up. It's also freaky when I turn around to see one right in front of my face :p
Actually killing the monkeys and getting to the end was too tedious and I gave up after 3 deaths.I was able to go by the backs of the buildings though and get to the red one, but I couldn't kill it before it killed me :(

I played through and killed all of the monkeys. Very difficult, they're so fast! Wasn't expecting them to go through the floors at first! Wasn't sure what the point of the multi-colored balls or torch were either... Great effort!
