8 itemsAbout the Game
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!

Things might get tricky.
But you’ve got this! Have fun!
