Making Monkeys
Making Monkeys is just as charming and quirky as Greg Sergeant's previous game Use Boxmen. With only 11 true levels, this puzzle platformer is definitely brief, but it works well as a coffee break game, maybe along with some monkey-shaped toast and a banana.

Only WASD? Why no arrow control? Are all monkeys left-handed?
This was really good up until near the end... the controls got the better of me! It's WASD only, with no option to change to arrow controls. Since I use my mouse left-handed, it makes it very tricky to co-ordinate all the running, shooting and throwing! So I had to quit, as my hands don't quite bend in the required way. Overall though, very cute, nice sense of humour and just puzzling enough to keep you going!
Developer of the game here:
Sorry about only WASD, i tried to implement arrow keys before release but it created a number of bugs, and i needed to release the game on time. I will be patching the game on ArmorGames+my website as soon as i get it sorted! Thanks for the review JIG :)

Oh man, that was awesome. The negative-space level was a bit out of place, but it was a pretty awesome level and I enjoyed it the most.
Cute game, and fun. My solution to the last regular level was VERY different from the one in the walkthrough - much easier in fact.
How rare to see something original and really fun! deserves a more serious development, in my opinion :)
I tried to solve level 12 the hardest way possible and almost did it. The idea was to shoot a monkey and immediately throw the gun, make the new monkey grab the gun in mid air and repeat the process until the other side. Didn't work, but I liked the idea :P
By the way, "more serious development" is not to be taken offensively! I mean the same kind of 'seriousness upgrade' meat boy gained with super meat boy :P (i.e. money)
Fun little game. Not too challenging, and the physics didn't make it unplayable. BTW, I managed to do level 12 with throwing the gun twice, after that it was monkeys jumping on monkeys.
what's with the clouds?
Arrow keys is currently an option on the front screen (can toggle controls on the menu).
Great game but it's only 8am here so will finish it later.
