Monkey Happy 1-4

Strange that the interface for using objects has changed. The new way is much more clumsy than just having the items at the top of the screen, but I guess the new way wastes less screen real-estate.

I wish they would change the nearly-unreadable-brown-on-black style of presenting some clues. Surely there's a way of hiding clues that doesn't involve actually hiding them from sight. I try to remember to paste screen shots into Paint and then expand all the dark areas to see if there's something there.

Hi Guys :) it's Robin Vencel here, the creator of Monkey Happy.

Thanks for posting my game, I really appreciate it.

The reason for dropping the Go from the name was because I wanted to start an html5 site specifically for Monkey GO Happy but someone stole my domain name. So I had to release it under Monkey Happy instead. There is weekly updates now :) Tuesdays and Saturdays.
I also changed the inventory system because I didn't want any problems dragging objects while in your browser when on a mobile device (monkeyhappy.com works on new mobile devices).
Also, as you mentioned it clears up some space on the screen, so I hope you can get used to it :)

I will try to make the clues more visible for you guys :)

I hope there isn't any glitches as I tested for hours but if there are please let me know.

I'm very happy to listen to your suggestions :)

Thanks again
Robin Vencel

Robin, your games are the best!! I have played them for years with my granddaughter. This installment was a lot of fun, and I didn't have any problem with the item interface. You create such cute characters, and I like it when they "need" an item (or 10), then finding items and giving them to the character. You always have creative hiding places for items. The puzzles are almost always simple to solve, which I prefer. I like finding and using objects, rather than complex math problems. THANKS AGAIN for your wonderful "Monkey Happy" games, which have given me and my granddaughter many happy hours!

Hi Robin,

It's great to see developers listening to feedback on sites like this. Thanks for staying in touch with your audience. I love all of the monkey go happy games, and I was also thrown off by the new inventory interface. I will give it a few installments to see if I get used to it.

I personally enjoy all types of clues and hints, but I completely understand what Lynne is talking about. My 3 year old son is addicted to the Monkey GO Happy app on our Kindle and he can do most of the puzzles that just involve finding and using items. But at this point he is unable to do the puzzles that involve math, roman numerals, and mini games that require fast reactions. It would be awesome if you could make a dedicated game or series that is catered to a very young audience.

Again, thanks for listening!

Hi Robin,

same here, I enjoy playing with my son, even at 10 years he like the monkey games.

I found one glitch in this version 'Monkey Happy 1-4': If you fill in the files safe code one by one, just after finishing the corresponding stage, the safe does not open, even with the correct code. I had to change the code to something different then back to the correct code, before it worked.

I agree with the others that the original interface to use tools is simpler, but I also agree that the current interface is necessary for touch devices. The change from mouse (& flash) to touch (& html5) is finally coming to all of us ...

Thanks for hours of fun !
