Apescape
Apescape by James1236 is a platformer where you, a gorilla, run away from a giant wall of monkeys which avoiding obstacles. This game is part of the Fanjam 12 event.
Gameplay
You spawn as a gorilla which can run left or right, and jump. The giant wall of monkeys is to your left, and proceeds towards you. You must thus run away from it, avoiding vertical tree logs, pits and spikes. The wall of monkeys is slower than your running speed. Death is caused by being engulfed with this wall of monkeys (there is a small comfort zone even inside the wall), or falling into spikes.
There is an additional feature of monkeys suspended in the air. This is present to avoid the player from just running away from the wall. These additional monkeys jump, at some point in front of or behind you, and can land on top of you. If they do, they will impede your running speed, and ability to jump. These monkeys can stack, and thus the more monkeys that land on top of you, the lower your speed and jumping ability will be. Usually after 4 monkeys are on top of you, you cannot make certain jumps. Thus you must be careful to dodge them by either slowing down or speeding up.
These additional monkeys are counterbalanced by a bird which can either remove one monkey which is on top of you, or remove a monkey that is about to jump/ in mid-jump. This bird is not guaranteed to remove a monkey every time however; sometimes you have to jump up and place the monkey in range of the bird for the bird to grab the monkey and move it away.
