There's something inherently funny about the physics and the low production values.
Many Ludum Dare games try too hard to be lolsorandom using text. Sometimes no words are needed.
I didn't like the gameplay very much. Kudos for the idea thoug + extra points for letting kong walk left instead of right ;)
I found the music really charming, and the ragdolls were cracking me up.
It was fun kicking guys in the air and seeing the physics in action.
Hitting riders with barrels from really far away and watching the ragdolls fall after a flying kick were satisfying. :)
hahaha!... awesome! :) nice all around - and i WON! :)
solid work.
High quality physics and (very)lowpoly graphics made a strange mix that works! The game is very fun, too! ;)
These positive comments are overwhelming, thank you! Criticism is also welcomed ofc.
Fun, innovative, and ragdolls are never bad. The only downside to me was after a while I felt like I was the good guy just innocently trying to get to the other side while evil bikers tried to crush me. But a monkey throwing barrels is classically evil as we all know. He's probably got a princess captive under ever one of those dirt hills.
I was also reading your technical info and tried the link to the autotracker but the link on the post it goes to is broken :/
Nice game. Really fun. One of few that actually has a nicely scaling difficulty
Try this Schwiggy: https://raw.github.com/iamgreaser/it2everything/master/atrk-bu.py
Hehe, nice one. Sometimes I just had to watch bikers fall on they own and other times there were a few of them collapsing together, but that made the game more fun :)
haha, brilliant game. very original and that kung fu monkey thing is hilarious. Sometimes a bit random but that also creates accidentally funny situations.
Fun and creative. I wish games were more random and had more ragdoll like yours :)

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Ahah, I love the animations and the ragdolls. It was really fun to play :)
