Bass Monkey
Bass Monkey is a free hack n’ slash, arcade action-platformer, set to the music of a 5 song EP! Up to 4 players can compete (or co-operate!) in this short, low-stress, musical platformer. Play as a bass swingin’ monkey or guitar swingin’ panda, collect bananas, smack away your fans, and try to top the high score leaderboards!
Features:
- Select your character and adjust strength, agility, and health stats to prepare for battle!
- Attack with elegant combos and dodge enemy attacks.
- Race to collect bananas, because they’re tasty (and add to your point score)!
- Progress through an instrumental pop album. Each song brings its own new challenges!
- Play solo, compete against friends (4 players), or cooperate as a band to achieve the highest score you can!
A note from the developer:
I hope that this little game offers you a short yet pleasant experience! It’s good to play with friends/family, because it makes for a fun party game and an easy introduction into video games (it features infinite “continues”). Or, if you’re playing alone and you have a decent pair of headphones/speakers, it can be a chill musical experience where you can try to max out your score on the leaderboards. Either way, I hope it brings you some joy — I sure enjoyed making it!
Cheers, Jacob Weersing (YakobSoup)

I am 27.
My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and adopted our son together. They are now both 4 years old.
When we were going through our separation, I found myself lost and miserable. I was self destructive. I got so mad one day from everything spiralling out of my control that I punched some concrete in a moment of overwhelming emotion. That caused me to break my 5th metacarpal in my right hand... my working hand... my gaming hand.. the hand that I held and carried my children to bed with.. The hand I desperately needed to make sure I could continue to provide.
After learning of the severity of my self-inflicted damage, I was borderline suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man with no history of depression or anxiety. I have never had fits of rage, or been one to break down and cry, but I was in a low spot that just really buried me from being able to see the light on the other side.
Having nothing better to do, I searched for a game I could play, ONE HANDED while I recovered. I somehow stumbled upon this game and read some of the reviews. I decided that it had to be worth a shot... after doing so, I had a new found joy and hope for life. I was able to put behind me the pain and suffering that had been cast over me. I was able to experience other peoples joy and happiness. I was able to see the fruits of my "labour". I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ minutes to this music long enough to realise that I was going to be okay.
After coming to that realisation, I turned the game off, and I went back to work. It hurt my hand like hell but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so damn sorry for myself, and I became the father I needed to be in that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving as.
Today, I am close friend with my kids mother. We don't fight, or argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents, and friends.
I now have 3 kids. My third child is, wait for it, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my own separation, and we just stumbled in to each others life unexpectedly. We have been in a relationship for a year now, and are very happy together.
Moral of the story, you never know what life holds in store for you, and if I would have given up when all the odds were stacked against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This masterpiece helped me realise that.
Thank you for reading.
