Monkeying Around
A PICO-8 platformer about procrastination and, for better or worse, the result of my own procrastination.
Warning! Might be a rage game (accidentally), If you want to skip level 3 use konami code on main menu! (scroll down)
Use the arrow keys for movement, X to parry the pink orbs, and Z to jump. Collect bananas for an extra challenge! This game is a semi-rougelike, so even if you get sent all the way back to the beginning don't worry as your progress has been saved!
And if you want, leave a comment with your final score if you beat it; I would love to read all your comments :)
Also, if anyone knows the Konami Code, you can input it on the menu for a nice surprise!

I had a lot of fun working on this. It took me awhile to come up with an idea and I stayed up very late to get this project done in time, working on fixing bugs with less than 5 minutes in submission time (Even though it got extended lol) I am very proud to share my platformer.
In this game you play a monkey traversing the jungles but if you take too long to complete a room then the world gets corrupted little by little. But don't worry this is a psudo-semi-rougelike so your progress will get saved, in fact it's like geometry dash where you are supposed to die and restart. I'll repeat the controls for good measure
Controls:
X-parry (Jump on pink orbs and press X to parry like in Gdash or Cuphead)
Z-Jump (Wall jump also)
Arrow Keys
Konami Code: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right.
