For centuries the evil space robot empire experimented on apes, hoping to create super soldier ape slaves. One ape in particular, Nicknamed “Grape” for his violet fur, showed promise. Grape gained the ability to form his shit into deadly ninja shit-stars. Grape grew smarter and stronger, eventually escaping the evil space robot’s facility in search of freedom...

Oh boy we did it! Celebratory beer time!
You get to the boss after like... 2 song play thrus.
Josh added the scoring mech. in the last 10 minutes.
Bananas and cactus are worth points?
... We need to crash & think more about all this later!
Really cool simple game. The art is very well done and the level generation impressive. Maybe add a different enemy to add more variety to the level. Very cool game!
Surprised this is the first "infinite runner" style game I have seen in this ludum. In any case decent concept, worked out well; but the gameplay drags on a bit after a couple minutes.
Art is really nice and I love the way you tell the story! :) Also the music is really great, it really sets up the mood!! Gameplay could maybe need some kind of a twist to make it more interesting! :)
Really nice game I enjoy games like this where you have restricted movement and you have to get as far as possible, this adds a twist by allowing you to shoot different things along the way
Graphics, music, and mood are on point! I had fun and the bananas makes stars ;). You could work on difficulty ramping and perhaps highscore table otherwise the score is meaningless- or at least show it around the end of the game. My best score was around 300.
I loved the aesthetic in this and the concept is great, but I wish that theme was expressed more in the behaviour of the projectile as opposed to it's appearance... Music was great as well.
I like the story and the originality but sometimes I'd find that I'd collide with a rock when move past it just as I'd move up or down. It felt like their bounding box was a bit big. I didn't feel that death by the side of a rock was necessary.
First, I love that title, it's hilarious! The game itself was a pretty simple runner, but the art and the background story was really good. I also like the Genesis type music. Good job!
This game was quite entertaining, loved the introscenes and the music. The gameplay got a bit boring after a while, but for a jam entry I think it's very good!
Hey, that's a really nice little game! It looks pretty polished and it's fun to play. The level design is sophisticated and the difficulty is not too easy and not too hard! I really like the look and feel of the game, it looks pretty polished and the intro story is great!
