Bonkies

Bonkies – Cheer! Cooperate! Construct! A Jolly, couch co-op party game with a pinch of construction building!

Bonkies is a jolly party game about cooperation, space construction and the joys of colonising the solar system as a team of monkeys.

You and your prime mates will be tasked with raising all sorts of quirky constructions on distant planets, by stacking blocks so they fit a given outline. To do so, you will have to team up with other space faring animals and master the use of your trusty apequipment – a banana-fuelled jetpack and a powerful robo-arm.

On top of that, you’ll have to utilise the wackiest kinds of blocks (magnets, rockets and even nuclear fusion are no strangers for a well-trained astronaut like yourself), and work in exotic and not-quite-monkey-friendly places. Who said space construction was going to be easy?

Monkey around with your friends!
Moving heavy blocks is no small feat. Fortunately, up to 4 friends can join forces together to carry this burden (or drop it on each other’s heads).

Monkey around by yourself
Waiting for friends to join you? Don’t worry! You can have fun in the single player campaign!

Fancy blocks for every occasion
To make the job more interesting, you’ll find some rather unusual blocks at your disposal. If you thought this would all be easy, wait until you have to try and catch a stray rocket block flying around, or handle an explosive nuclear fusion cube.

Choose your chimpion
Animals of all shapes and sizes come to help out, thumb-owners or not! Monkeys, dogs, cats (possibly a unicorn too?) – you name it! They’re all eager to suit up and monkey around.

Earn your bananas
Bananas are the space food of the future! Secure your bunch by beating the time scores, and if you gather enough, you’ll unlock some new buddies!

Outsmart, outmaneuver, overpower, outclass your opponents in lightning-fast, adrenaline-inducing single-player space combat.

You play as Leon Barret, ace fighter pilot of the Poseidon Security Forces. Here at Poseidon Corp., we are trying to pave the way for the colonization of Mars, as mankind is struggling for survival, split between a depleted hot Earth and a cold, claustrophobic Lunar colony. Your job is to maintain order by eradicating rebels and space pirates, facilitate our scientists’ research while keeping them safe, and protect all our personnel from the numerous external threats.

Dive down into gigantic asteroid mining plants, shoot down Rebel drones and fighters, roll left and right avoiding enemy fire, unleash impossibly powerful missile volleys, but also race against stray pilots and space scavengers at breakneck speed for the sheer thrill of it.

By completing missions you will unlock Cards and Tokens to upgrade your fighter’s Hull, Shields, Energy Weapons and Missiles until you are able to go up against massive Capital Ships and single-handedly shift the tide of the war.

In an interplanetary struggle where nobody is good or bad, you will experience Leon rising through the ranks, the meaning of “necessary evil”, the cost of integrity and ultimately, what it means to take a stand.

Save Farty

Save Farty – A trivia game. As tasteless as the name implies.

Farty is a chicken with some serious problems. He’s flatulent, but that’s just the start of it. Through a combination of bad advice and poor luck, he’s got himself mixed up with some pretty bad people — and now his life depends on you.

Answer a series of absurd and ridiculous trivia questions, and Farty is given a stay of execution. Get one wrong, and Farty will meet his end in a variety of deranged and unusual ways. The animations are bursting with unnecessary violence and are not suitable for younger users. Or anyone with a modicum of decency.

“Save Farty” represents a real low point in worldwide trivia games. Self-improvement and the advancement of knowledge have given way to idiocy and unbridled masochism. This is perhaps the sickest game that can be enjoyed alone or with friends since Russian Roulette.

Answer one of over 4000 (mostly easy) multiple-choice questions or Farty is butchered in one of 50 brutal ways. Puerile unlockable animations and crude sounds and music lower the tone as players progress.
