Since the untimely demise of Free Radical Design, the world has seen a dearth of gun toting monkeys in video games. Now those fine chaps at Size Five Games have stepped into the breach with Gun Monkeys, a pro-gen-plat-shoot-em-up; or a procedurally-generated, 1-on-1, online platform shooter to you and me.
But is it any good?
Dan Marshall, the man behind Gun Monkeys has come up with an innovative way of getting more people to play the monkey deathmatch title - you will get a free Steam key to gift to friends if you're alone on a server. Dan talks to The Reticule about why he is doing this.
Monkeys with guns? We say no more.
From the minds that brought you “Ben there, Dan that” and “Time, Gentlemen please” comes a new type of game altogether from them. In the future we’re all dead, and because we’re dead we’ve become fuel… simple enough right? Well, add into that a bunch of dueling monkeys that contend for resources and you have Gun Monkeys. So. Shoot away I guess?
