Space Monkeys – Group Game Project

Game Overview

Space Monkey, you're our last hope! Our spaceship has run out of fuel and the only way home is to gather elemental resources from Earth across multiple eras. Guide our brave simian hero through 4 challenging levels (plus a tutorial), each built around a unique elemental power.

Dash, jump, and unleash Fire, Water, Earth, and Air abilities to collect every element, appease the Monkey King, and blast the crew back into orbit. Levels intentionally feature tight jumps and tricky puzzles—keep trying, mastery is rewarded!

Teamwork & Recognition

Working on Space Monkeys taught our team the value of clear communication, tight iteration loops, and collective ownership of game feel. These lessons have strengthened my collaboration skills for future projects.
