Monkey Pop is a competitive game for 2 players. A pair of monkeys -- subjects of brain-control-experiments -- have gotten loose in their dangerous laboratory.
Unconventional weapon: Picking up the remote controller allows you to mind-control the opposing monkey for a few precious seconds.
Red Monkey controls: [W] [A] [D] for himself, and [S] [Z] [C] when controlling Blue Blue Monkey controls: [O] [K] [ ; ] for himself, and [ , ] [L] [ / ] when controlling Red (Easter egg: [Spacebar] instantly pops both monkeys)
Due to time constraints and life events, gamepad support and a score tally were not functional before the deadline. A future version will add these important monkey features!

Not bad. Controls were a bit awkwardly placed, would have liked it if one player could be on the numpad and arrow keys so the other player can go full on the letters.
Pretty amusing, but the controls are a bit complicated. Maybe it would have been simpler to just control the enemy monkey with your own movement keys when you pick up the remote?
Cannot play it!! I have a 'Ñ' key in my SPANISH keyboard in the place of the blue monkey RIGHT control. Damnnnnn...
I suppose the developer knows this better than anybody else, but... please, everybody, just stop playing the way is meant to be and push fast&repeatedly the SPACE Bar. Ugggggg I´d like I could rate the game´s mood, cause is... disturbingly relaxing
Since I'm a Billy No-Mates I didn't really get chance to test this properly, but the idea seems really fun. PS. I, too, took great pleasure in mashing space bar constantly.
Very fun, can't wait to play against my girlfriend! Seeing the dead bodies rolling is curiously satisfying. This deserves 5 stars! :) The jumping is a little buggy, though: sometimes the monkey jumps twice with only one button press, therefore hitting the ceiling (and sometimes the chainsaws), and if the screen is too crowded with dead bodies, the monkey can't jump. I'd suggest adding a button to reset the game. Excellent competitive game, I think you should keep developing it!

Awaiting for more games developed by you.

That was like 99% of our playtesting

But I love the concept.
