Another fun Ludum Dare has come to an end. I again decided to make a game in JAVA. I used the most basic Graphics library Java provides. Other than that, I user Audacity to produce sounds, Eclipse for programming and Paint.NET for creating the few sprites I use.
The Monkey Standoff is a turn based 2 Player game where both players try to eliminate each other with bananas. 1 hit kills.
Standing on top of randomly generated buildings players must use both buildings and wind to their advantage. Players input the angle and the speed of the throw. (ca. 0-90 degress, 0-150 banana speed would be recommended (enter to confirm the values)).
I am looking forward to your feedback!
Have fun playing!

ps. long time programmers and/or games might recognize the game concept from and old DOS game.
Hi. Cool game. Is this a remake of the an IBM-Game of the 80s or early 90s? Very cool... played it on my 286 with 8mhz ^^ ... hey found it... it was made with qbasic :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDc3ZEKl-Wc
It's gorilla.bas! Whoa, bonus points for reminding me a classic. But I can't vote much for innovation :D
I even tried the old bug of weird numbers, that caused bananas to ignore some collisions, hahaha. Just put lots of numbers and it will start to overflow in a similar way. Nice work!
You have reminded me of my childhood. That was the game that caused me to play around with programming. I guess I wouldn't participate in LD if it weren't for that game. :)
Well done implementing it. I was just unsure if the bananas were discarded if another player throws before your falls.

You could have change something compared to the original (multi online, or not turn-based with one player with the keypad, etc...)
