Wonderful job, quite unique. I love the motion of the scared monkey, hiding his face in his hands and waving his arms screaming. I know, 100%, this monkey is scared to death.

Something about the background song makes this game really fun to play, because the monkey is scared, but I, the pig, am really enjoying having my lil baby monkey. I love my baby monkey and I have little regard for how scared he is. Haha. Great game, cool environment, great motion.

Improvements? Maybe the pig’s legs could move? But this was about the monkey’s motion, so no big deal. The pig could also use a tail–I see it as a sheep really.

Great feel.

I like the way you joint two characters into one avatar. It is very creative. I also liked the way you animated the avatar. The animation plays a very big part at conveying a sense of game. There is space for a lot of improvement as well. For example, you can design more space and unique world for the character to “live” in in order to make the game more realistic. Also, I think the sound effect is a little too much, creating a little bit of noisiness. Overall, I liked the project. It feels great.

A really neat concept. I liked how the main character is manipulated without being controlled. The movements of the monkey give a feel that it’s really scared, a good job on that one. The song was good but I think you could have got a better feel with the screaming sounds of a monkey.
It would have been really nice to see monkey jump off the pig as soon as it reached the trees.(Just an idea)

Fun overall concept 🙂
I think this is the only game I played that you don’t directly control the animal, but are in control of the cause of the animal’s mood which is really unique! Your monkey definitely looks like he’s freaking out. The only thing that throws me off is that I don’t speak monkey and the music is happy so on the audio side of things it’s hard to tell he is scared.
I like making the trees into the platforms but wish the monkey interacted with them in some way (but hey you only have so much time). The controls weren’t anything out of the ordinary, but they certainly weren’t bad so that’s good.
Keep it up yo.

I really liked the movement of the character in this one. The monkey wails its arms and shakes it head while the pig is moving, and it covers it eyes when its falling. These movements really helped give it the feeling that the monkey is scared. However, I would have liked to see more movement for the pig. The sounds also fit nicely in this prototype, however the background song does get repetitive after a while. Good job though!
