The Developer Says...

Bass Monkey is a free hack n' slash, arcade action-platformer, set to the music of a 5 song EP! Up to 4 players can compete (or co-operate!) in this short, low-stress, musical platformer. Play as a bass swingin' monkey or guitar swingin' panda, collect bananas, smack away your fans, and try to top the high score leaderboards!
Features:
- Select your character and adjust strength, agility, and health stats to prepare for battle!
- Attack with elegant combos and dodge enemy attacks.
- Race to collect bananas, because they're tasty (and add to your point score)!
- Progress through an instrumental pop album. Each song brings its own new challenges!
- Play solo, compete against friends (4 players), or cooperate as a band to achieve the highest score you can!
A note from the developer:
I hope that this little game offers you a short yet pleasant experience! It’s good to play with friends/family, because it makes for a fun party game and an easy introduction into video games (it features infinite "continues"). Or, if you’re playing alone and you have a decent pair of headphones/speakers, it can be a chill musical experience where you can try to max out your score on the leaderboards. Either way, I hope it brings you some joy -- I sure enjoyed making it!
Cheers, Jacob Weersing (YakobSoup)
