Flying Monkey Prototyping

Jeffrey and I continued to work on the game, to develop the background and gameplay. I had an idea about creating a jungle background with grass on the ground and huge trees covering the sun and sky and Jeffrey sent me this, not dark and sad as I expected but exciting and lively as a monkey game should look like. The game rules and controls are simple: using arrows to move around, space to shoot bananas, kill the giant spider and pick up the giant banana to win the game. We made the background scrolling so it looks like the monkey is flying around the jungle. We should make it the endless running game, but I was still working on how random monsters appear after launch so our game is really easy right now, the small spiders only need one shot to die, and the giant spider does not have any harmful mechanics that can kill the player, or surprise him/her. Even though it is just a simple game, we are proud that it is our first game. Jeffrey Tran as a Designer and I, Huy Nguyen, as a Programmer spent a lot of time and hard work to make this happen. The more I work with Gamemaker the more interesting I feel about this software, wonderful and easy to make, even for beginner. This first game is like our practice to make further better games. Here is the link to our game: download here.
