This game was developed entirely by me as a solo project, with invaluable help from Bora Pham, who created the background art (and came up with the game’s name!) We’re both game design students in the making.
Most of the artwork was crafted using Procreate and Aseprite.
Idea (monke in the brain): Tim Urban for his TED Talk around 9 years ago that I watched. Somehow I remember his talk on procrastination and it just clicked to me that I have to make monke game.

This is actually very fun! The funny thing is I could be doing something productive right now... My one significant issue when playing is that when the game slows down on upgrades, it feels very laggy.
