A downloadable game

After a particularly hefty loss in the local Casino, Bart, the Bleeding Heart Monkey, must make his way towards his new fortune -- a fountain full of banana bunches! Located at... the top of the tallest mountain in Africa?


Take control of Bart's hands -- yes, both of them!

Using both of your controller's joysticks, help Bart towards his fortune, one hand after the other! Just pick a spot to latch onto, and use that as a pivot for Bart to rotate off of; but be careful, your hands need a break! Nobody can hold on forever, even if they've been born with burly baboon arms (maybe a bad example). Keep a close eye on your stamina, or risk Bart losing his grip!

Starring everyone's best friend: gravity!

Falling is a key feature, not a design flaw, trust me! Your progress will be constantly saved, so there's always the chance of falling all the way back down that wall you so carefully climbed. And falling, there will be a lot of, so keep your eyes open!


Contains a mountain of pixels!

With heaps of original environment art and sprite-work, I hope to flesh out a cohesive, nice to look at mountain for you all to climb -- each piece made for this project specifically.


And of course, bananas!

Everyone likes bananas, and Bart is no exception. In his greed, he lost every one of his succulent, well earned golden trophies -- plus some. But he's not one to be found without a plan! He'll hike up the vertical cliff-faces, where no primate has gone before, to find the mythical Banana Springs; which is said to overflow with beautifully ripe banana bunches.

We all believe he has what it takes, don't we?


Inspired by the likes of:

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy, you can thank him and his game for me being here. As someone who's climbed his mountain more than 50 times over, I thought I'd make one of my own for the world -- and hopefully someone gets a laugh or two out of it!


CONTROLLER REQUIRED TO PLAY -- THERE IS NO KEYBOARD SUPPORT.

There isn't a download yet, but I thought I should get a store page up with Steam and Gamejolt! If it looks interesting, you can either follow my itch.io, or wishlist it on Steam; and you'll be notified when it's released! Thanks for your time, I'm happy to have you here.
