Description

Space colonization takes a lot of work and is super dangerous. Far too dangerous for humans, so monkeys will have to do it!

Bonkies is a space-monkey simulator where you experience life as a crew of bionic monkeys building the future of humanity among the stars, paid by the hour in bananas. Build moon habitats, rockets and floating space hotels - heck why not a nuclear reactor or two on a lake of frozen methane? Anything is possible when you strap a jetpack on a monkey, equip it with an industrial strength robot arm and wave goodbye to labor rights!

Please enjoy our short, but informational training video below!

Hello there! Here you are! And here are your friends!

Your job is to pick up these blocks and stack them within the blue outline.

Sometimes you'll need to use other, less conventional types of blocks.

Things might get tricky.

But you’ve got this! Have fun!

Features

  • Build intricate (read: crazy dangerous) structures that just need to pass the 3-second inspection

  • Get hired by megalomaniacal space moguls (Yes, there are more than one) who will flush you out the airlock as soon as you mention unionization

  • Utilize special building blocks and tools, some more nuclear than others

  • Build on various surfaces: Good old martian soil, islands floating in water, islands floating in lava(!) and in zero gravity

  • Travel across the solar system, from Earth all the way to Pluto, and beyond! (70 levels+)

  • Unlock a veritable Zoo of the cutest astronauts imaginable (yes, there is a cat)

  • Beat the developer times on each level to earn the coveted Golden Banana Bunch

  • Ace entire planets for special secret rewards

  • Original music track by Philip Dahlstrøm (His chill beats will surely calm your rising blood pressure)

There are still economy seats available on the banana shaped rocket!

The game has been abandoned by its developers and has received no "major updates" since August 12th, 2022. The game is a decent puzzle-solving game that relies on friends to play with. There is a single player campaign,

Bonkies is an excellent couch co-op game with a charming visual style that's a blast to play. Even non-gamers like my girlfriend have enjoyed it. The multiplayer mode shines, especially with Steam's remote play for

Absolutely great local co-op game, I'm amazed at how unheard of this game is for how polished it is and how inspired the level design is. Best played with 4 friends

About the game: Well, the gameplay is pretty simple. Every of the (up to) 4 players is playing one space monkey. Their task is to construct certain "buildings" in a limited time (usually around 3-5 minutes).

As a big fan of local multiplayer, it's always great to see a game that encourages co-operation rather than competition. In this lightweight puzzle game you each control a monkey in a jetpack and their robotic claw.
