About the Game

Smack Monkey: Never Stop Smacking

Reject humanity. Return to monkey.

Smack Monkey is a satisfying precision platformer where you climb fast! (and fall even faster...)

Mr. Marcus Monkey slept in and is now late for his date with his hot monkey girlfriend!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! Jump, climb and smack your way to the top of Sunset Mountain!

~Mr. Marcus Monkey has the shmoves~

  • Press "Smack" to do a horizontal smack jump on the ground or vines!

  • Press "Smack" before you smash into a wall to do a vertical smack climb!

  • Press "Jump" three times in succession to perform a triple jump!

  • If you slip up however... You might tumble down! Save yourself from losing progress by smacking or jumping out of a slide, before it's too late!!

Your buddy Eric the Toucan will "guide" you on your quest to scaling Sunset Mountain. He also says mean things sometimes, but he's got a good heart. (At least, so I've been told...)

Also... watch out for bananas, frostadiles, snakes and ice... They'll mess ya up!!

  • Listen to legendary classical tracks from the great minds of Debussy, Erik Satie and more, performed live by a trained monkey on a marimba.

  • Unlock different monkey colors by reaching the top fast enough!

  • Also I heard that if you smack your way into hidden locations, you might even find a secret frog or two... ribbit.

  • The game has speed running features! There's a built-in timer, an optional tutorial and two endings based on completion time.
