Moon Monkey: Bananas in Space!

TeamLava8

Hey everyone, this is actually my entry into the VS7 game jam, but I am pretty excited about it so I am definitely going to release it to market shortly hereafter.

It is a classic arena style game with a unique gameplay mechanic and setting. Much like super crate box or muffin knight or a game of that variety you have an item that you need to collect that spawns randomly throughout the level. There are a few powerups available in this current build, and I am sure I will add a few more along the way.

As far as I know this is the only orbital platforming arena style arcade game I have seen. So I am a happy guy.

I am going to shut up and let the video do the talking. Keep in mind this is not my proper final entry video just a preview as I am pretty far along in development, I just need to add a blitz/timed mode, and I was hoping if I have time to create a mode that was themed like a classic gameboy game.

This looks pretty neat, the presentation is well done. It's quite appealing and I can see this doing quite well stacked up against the competition. Well done!

@soundwaveninja - I use photoshop for nearly any graphics work I do, I know illustrator is the ideal tool for most people, but I have had photoshop since I was eleven, and I am now 27 so I have a lot of years under my belt with photoshop and it is my ideal tool.

I can use illustrator though nearly as well, I just am more comfortable with PS.

@jayleedesigns - Where did you learn to use photoshop (website, book, videos)? Your graphics are amazing!

Love it btw

@VentoraStudios bought full rights to the game, I know he has been making some massive additions to it and I think it'll be live sometime in November..
