Gun Monkey offers a small package of high octane fun with pretty limited scope. Gun Monkeys is a 2D arena deathmatch game at heart, which fits in same genre as Gibbage, Showdown Effect or Soldat etc. The whole gameplay revolves around two players battling out, shooting at each other over various platforms and collecting power cubes and returning them to earn points. That pretty much sums up all the matches that you will encounter in the game; its not much but as I said in the start its fun for a small package deal.
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?
