Monkey Kick Off is a stylish flash arcade game created by Niclas Åberg of Totebo Interactive. A monkey juggles a ball with his feet on the side of the screen. Wait for the right moment, then click the mouse to punt the ball as far as you can, sending it flying through forests, deserts, a Monkey Village and beyond. It's a classic game idea made fresh by creative design and a sharing feature that allow you to challenge your friends to beat your top score.
Unlike other flash games of a similar style (Nanaca Crash comes to mind), Monkey Kick Off features no power-ups, special moves or obstacles to contend with. The gameplay has been streamlined so all you need to worry about is timing the initial click. The ball bouncing physics are quite natural, making the whole experience feel very organic. I just wish I knew how many Monkey Meters are in one human meter...
The best feature of Monkey Kick off is the "Challenge your Monkey Friends" option. Your personal best score is saved across gaming sessions and at any time you can bring your pals in on the fun. Just click the icon and you can create a customized URL to e-mail, post on your blog, or even share in the comments section of a casual gaming website (hint hint). When anyone visits the URL they can watch a replay of your best kick and can try to top your score.
As you kick the ball farther you are treated to new scenery scrolling in the background. Wondering what rests beyond adds a nice element of exploration to the game. A good strategy is to wait for the monkey to juggle the ball above his head, then click when it's even with his chest. Time it right and the ball will soar out of sight. Then just kick back and enjoy the tour.
Monkey Kick Off is a well-executed idea that's a winner for its simplicity and playful design. Try it and get your friends hooked.
you will want the ball to bouce a lot to get into town
Rather crappy, I'm sure.
Fun little game!

Beat this!
Hey peeps, you can make an active hyperlink to your replays, and some of you have been, thank you! But don't forget to enclose the URL in quotes. Here's an example:
<a href="http://totebo.com/mko.php?c=qpors...">5000</a>
If you follow that as an example, filling in your URL instead, and change the 5000 to your own score, it will work great! =)
I think I'm tied for first!
5000
Brett - all you did was copy my example. You need to change what's there by adding your own URL that the game gives you, and change the 5000 to the score you got.
(we'll make an HTML coder out of you yet! ;)
4802 is my new top score but I still don't quite understand this. What URL the game gives me??
Thanks Jay
Oh I got it!
Here's my score
4802
Hope that worked
Not the best, but not too bad either.
My best so far.
4725 is my best so far.
Wish I could record my shortest attempt which currently stands at 52!
Woo — 4779 meters!
The game needs sound man
every one seems to be doing high-kicks, so here's my alternative style toe-poke: 4323
Beat this
Its an OK game but too simple.
can only get this far
4472 MM YYYeahh! go me
This is such a mindlessly addictive game
4434 i think
4931, which puts me in the lead here, I do believe. :)
5061 :)
Tied for first.
make that this far
4470 monkey meters.
Finally, a shot into the village :)
4314
4555,BABY!!!!!! (& ^..^ &)
Wooooohooooooo O
is there anything past the village???
They've added a retry button now, so you don't have to watch your failed attempts :)
New shortest distance attempt: 32m :D
Tabitha, watch Abby's challenge. I got only 4344.
Two new "worst" kicks: 26 and 31 monkey meters. My best is up to 4712.
Oooh, so close!
5045 :)
19 monkey meters!!!
5064
It seems the best kick comes if you ricochet it off the floor.
4508 is my best score so far. I'm trying to get another 600m and I could beat you, Kalle Kanon!
265 -Kalle kanon's monkey friend Waldemar
Kalle, here we go !
5064
Idds - don't forget to enclose your href value in double quotes. I fixed it for you, but otherwise your link won't work. Cheers!
Thanks jay, I tried to edit that but it doesn't seem that editing is supported (or at least I couldn't find the button).
Anyway, great entry ! Monkey Kick Off seemed at first less challenging to me than other "aim and fly" games (Manole, Nanaca Crash or Yetisports). That fact that a very fast but low shot is less efficient than a higher, slower one was kind of frustrating to me.
But it definitely is as addictive as the other ones !
Will there be a tag in JIG for this kind of games ? Hope so :)
looks like there are a few of us ties for first at the minute

Some tips:
Don't kick the ball as it's going up - wait until its coming down to kick.
Wait until he kicks it high, and kick it once it's level with his head.
You may get more initial speed with a lower kick, but friction will slow it down a lot.
To get an idea of your score, see where the ball first touches the ground. If it passes the 1000 mark before it hits, you'll have a score of probably 4500+.

over 5400
I'm actually quite proud of myself.
My high score. (Who knew? 6000+)
The only tip that I have to offer is one, kick the ball only when it's been putted the absolute highest it can be, and then kick it when it's just about level with your head. I'd also like to say that once you kick the ball decently far (over 4000) then the monkey will begin to kick the ball well over his head, shown here.
Good luck.
5926, pretty happy
Over 7000!

You're lucky darkernights i wish i was as good as you!
:(
How long do you have to wait for the monkey to kick it over his head?
http://totebo.com/mko.php?c=qporrEostouuEorFBoUBopprotqpFoY366mouFEp
you know .. its weird some computers he kicks it over his head.. and some don't . the best time to kick it is when the ball is in the light area in the background just under the palm tree and little cliff. but you just have to wait til he gives it a good kick. which could take a while.
My friend did this, (and after three days of trying, I give up):
http://www.totebo.com/monkey-kick-off.php?c=qsorrsosUoEFEorFBoUBopqEoEttso23MSLoUrst
Just out of interest - with the 7000 one, how did they get the ball to be kicked so high to start with?
http://totebo.com/mko.php?c=qBorsBosroursorFBoUBopBFostttoIONbSmoupEB

http://totebo.com/mko.php?c=pUorrBotpotUBorFBoUBopBuossqqoG3LL3YOLZHotUFF
do the little monkeys in background that are only there sometimes effect the kick??
I'm hooked, I dont think I'll ever get tired of this game. There is no clock to pressure me to hurry. My high score is 4409. There has to be a trick to getting that monkey to kick harder. I'll find it.

Marcp stated that it needs sound, well I hear all sorts of sounds, like when the monkey kicks the ball, both up in the air and when "you" have the monkey kick the ball, "jungle" sounds, monkey sounds, etc., and when you reach town, there are more sounds. Also, what I do, to post the link to my blog, or my brother's blog, who did the challenge to me, etc., I just click on where it says to challenge friends, or whatever, at the top left of the game, I place the cursor over the first letter showing of the link, then I hold down the left mouse button, then I drag the mouse to the right end of the link address before leaving go of the left mouse button, then I release the button, then the link is "highlighted," and I then click on "Copy," and then I go to where I want to "paste" the link and I just paste the link to the blog, or IM, or e-mail, etc. I'll try it here in this message...It's too bad that I hadn't recorded my highest score when I was over 5,000 meters, and had left it showing "Monkey" as who was playing. Oh well, now that my brother challenged me, I have switched it over to Bernielj as who's playing. Well here's my link in case anyone is interested:
I don't know if word-wrap will work ok in this message or not:

I notice though that my "new best" of course shows as a different link address, as this one shows as 4644 Meters and I've gotten better than that.
