Monkey Bounce

I had hoped to get this little game up in March but as always I am a few days late.

The game is a pretty simple bounce the monkeys to safety using nothing but your trusty banana! You have a time limit of 60 seconds.

This is my first game using CoffeeScript and and the HTML5 canvas element.  While developing this game I used it as a motivation to develop a little game library, again all in CoffeeScript. Anyone that has worked on a game library knows that you add tons of features that will save you time when creating a game but it is so much fun adding features to your library you forget to actually make a game. Or is that just me?

In this instance I decided the opposite I would create games and drive development of the library from what the games needed. I only add features to the library as a game needs to use them. I don't yet have any sound support. While this is my first public release using the engine I have used it in a couple a few hacks I made while getting familiar with the Canvas element.

Marketing wise I plan the usual get it on the chrome marketplace. I also plan to find a few html5 games link sites and get on those. I will write a few post mortem on this game in a few weeks.
