Gameplay

Shrine of the God-ape is a 2D action platformer. During the game, the player will be confronted with many challenges, such as traps, enemies, and huge bosses. Over the course of the game, the player will experience:
  • 12 Levels - Divided into three distinct areas that present unique challenges.
  • 3 Boss levels - Multi stage encounters that will test your puzzle-solving ability as much as your platforming skills!
  • Soundtrack - 3 original synth-heavy, bass drum driven, boss themes that don't fit the game at all!
  • Steam achievements
  • New speedrun mode! Becomes available once the final level is reached. Post game content, yay!
