MONO A MONO

MONO A MONO is the fast-paced arcade RTS where you lead a synchronized primate army. Use gorillas to capture monkey-generating shrines, or send your sword-wielding monkeys to thin the enemy horde. Protect and defend the central sanctuary from the enemy horde that threatens the jungle!

Our game was inspired by the Chilean idiom "monos con navaja", literally "monkeys with pocketknives," which is akin to saying  "a bull in a china shop," but the stakes are greater. The idea is that you'd control a large number of chaotic monkeys, and you have to protect and defend your own monkeys and towers--not only from your opponent, but also from your own unruly and unwieldy "monos con navaja".
