Level Type
Mini-game / Survival Challenge

Notes
This little level started with a simple branch gameplay element I built, and a challenge to Luos to build a level with more simple visuals, something that almost felt like a Saturday morning cartoon. After a week of trying various visuals and gameplay segments and countless level arcs we still had little to show for it.

One late night a rough light matter form had been made in a corner of the crater and we were killing time and bouncing from branch to branch when Fotosynthesis1 asked if it would be too much trouble to make some moving fruit to collect. One thing led to another and this level was the result.

Special Thanks
Thanks to Fotosynthesis1 for all your help and wonderful input. Thanks to my always co-creator Luos_83. Thanks to Nuclearfish for his excellent mini-game advice. Thanks also to all those too numerous to list who play tested, commented, suggested, and encouraged. This level is what it is because of all of you.

I really enjoy playing this level. I know it might sound biased because me and clay work together 99.9% of the time..
But flinging around on branches trying to grab the bananas before your friend does, falling into the mouth of a crocodile..
The animations, and just overal fun of this level really got to me. This level really deserves more plays. Im sure anybody playing this level enjoys it..
Unless they got branchswing-banana-phobia.

Very original The aesthetics were well done. I really loved the intro and the gameplay was very smooth and enjoyable. I am uploading your level to YouTube right now. Finished: Click (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQSPBbHDeDE)

Brilliant level Clay! The innovative gameplay speaks for itself. That coupled with top notch visuals set in a tropical theme really makes the level stand out from the crowd. Grab one, or two, or three friends for all-out monkeying about, banana snatching, multiplayer chaos and fun! I highly recommend it for anybody looking for a fantastic mini game!2011-08-13 02:57:00

My wife and I gave this one a go and thought it was done quite well! Unfortunately, for some reason, we both experienced HUGE lag on the level that stripped all the fun from your clever design. It was with both of us playing on a local machine...perhaps my internet connection was bogged down? Either way, the ape and the crocodiles were great and had such a simple layout, it made it very clear to see and play the game (even with the lag).

Good Job and we both enjoyed what we could of it!

like i said in the review, it's a really fun mini-game, I'll be coming back from time to time to play it~
It took a min for me to get the hang of playing it but once you get the hang of it, you just want to keep playing it~

This is a nice level, with a well-fitting Savannah theme, and good gameplay features here.

The setup is very nice, though you could have adjusted the camera a bit to focus on the bananas. Or at least heighten the camera angle a bit, since I couldn't tell whether I was touching a bomb fruit or a banana. And sometimes, the level did somewhat lag, but it didn't cramp up the experience.

Overall, it's a nice, simple, and basic level worth playing.
