About
Space colonization takes a lot of work and is super dangerous. Far too dangerous for humans, so monkeys will have to do it!
Bonkies is a space-monkey simulator where you experience life as a crew of bionic monkeys building the future of humanity among the stars, paid by the hour in bananas. Build moon habitats, rockets and floating space hotels - heck why not a nuclear reactor or two on a lake of frozen methane? Anything is possible when you strap a jetpack on a monkey, equip it with an industrial strength robot arm and wave goodbye to labor rights!
Hello there! Here you are! And here are your friends!
Your job is to pick up these blocks and stack them within the blue outline.
Sometimes you'll need to use other, less conventional types of blocks.
Things might get tricky.
But you’ve got this! Have fun!
Build intricate (read: crazy dangerous) structures that just need to pass the 3-second inspection
Get hired by megalomaniacal space moguls (Yes, there are more than one) who will flush you out the airlock as soon as you mention unionization
Utilize special building blocks and tools, some more nuclear than others
Build on various surfaces: Good old martian soil, islands floating in water, islands floating in lava(!) and in zero gravity
Travel across the solar system, from Earth all the way to Pluto, and beyond! (70 levels+)
Unlock a veritable Zoo of the cutest astronauts imaginable (yes, there is a cat)
Beat the developer times on each level to earn the coveted Golden Banana Bunch

Original music track by Philip Dahlstrøm (His chill beats will surely calm your rising blood pressure)

The game has been abandoned by its developers and has received no "major updates" since August 12th, 2022. The game is a decent puzzle-solving game that relies on friends to play with. There is a single player campaign, but it is short and lacking in terms of its content when compared to the multiplayer campaign which the game was intended for. What absolutely gimps the growth of this game is the lack of online multiplayer; there was and at this time still no plans to introduce online multiplayer to the game. The only way to play with your friends is giving them controllers and linking them to your physical computer, there is no online play. If you're looking for a party game this is serviceable, but the lack of online multiplayer absolutely gimps it.
Bonkies is an [b]excellent couch co-op game[/b] with a charming visual style that's a blast to play. Even [b]non-gamers[/b] like my girlfriend have enjoyed it. The multiplayer mode shines, especially with Steam's [b]remote play for online co-op[/b]. While the single-player campaign is short and not the main focus, it still offers a fun experience. Overall, it's a great game for both solo and multiplayer enjoyment.
Absolutely great local co-op game, I'm amazed at how unheard of this game is for how polished it is and how inspired the level design is. Best played with 4 friends
This is The best family and/ or partygame, ever!! Go bananas now!
[b]About the game:[/b] Well, the gameplay is pretty simple. Every of the (up to) 4 players is playing one space monkey. Their task is to construct certain "buildings" in a limited time (usually around 3-5 minutes). Unfortunately these space monkeys have a heavy handycap: they all have only one arm. (Not sure who let them be in charge of the construction site but that's another question). The game mechanics rely on 50% communication with the other players (since you can't lift objects very well on yourself alone) telling them where to move, what to do next. The other half is actually some creativity since it's not always clear how to build these desired objects. You only get a shape of what's expected and are left alone trying (or imagining) how it fits best. [b]My opinion:[/b] Well, it's a fun game actually. Sure, it is a party game and even though you may play it alone, it becomes obvious this is not the way it's ment to be played. Many objects are actually really heavy and moving them on your own (even though these space apes have a booster) is really hard. However, as a good party game, the fun emerges from playing with the others, shouting at each other, coordinating things and praying nobody will tear down the whole construction with the last piece. The playlength is currently (Dec 2018) pretty short. So with just another medium-skilled monkey you may finish the current state in a few hours. The "worlds" are actually different planets and at the current state there is only mars available. However, a new "world" is promised (the moon) and I really hope for even more content any time soon (or probably even an editor for creating own shapes one day). It would also be nice to have some additional mechanics in the future. Currently the objects are pretty limited - not only in their shapes but also in their mechanics. Some are bigger than others and some are heavier than others. This influences the construction process. However, it would be a great solution enriching the mechanics even further. For instance explosive objects that might blow up your construction when damaged. Or some environmental situations as wind for example, that might move your construction eventually... [b]Similar games:[/b] I'd describe it as a cooperative sandbox mode of "Ultimate Horse Chicken" with limited time and a blue print construction instead of racing against each other. But that describes it probably not very accurate. The object placing has a slight touch of organized tetris (maybe more like Tricky Towers). [b]The verdict:[/b] I really like this game. It's lack of content is still enough for an hour or two with friends. But if you expect a great evening filling puzzle game this is (currently) probably not what you are looking for. The game itself would become even better with some enhanced game mechanics so playing in new "worlds" will not feel too repetitive soon. Otherwise two+ worlds may become boring one day. Don't buy the game if you intent to play it on your own. This game is much more fun together. Playing it with two players makes it more a puzzle game, playing it with 3-4 players becomes a bit chaotic (in a fun way) party game. [b]So yea, I enjoy the game! Go buy it if it sounds fun! [/b]
ESP: Una joyita oculta sin duda, es un juego muy divertido diseñado para el juego cooperativo, fácil de aprender, difícil de dominar (como a todos nos gusta ¿no?) tiene bocha de niveles, bien diseñados, por lo que no aburren rápido, a todos los amigos que invité a jugar les gustó (y no les suelen gustar mis juegos xD). Tiene demo gratuita por si no están seguros. ENG: An unnoticed gem without a doubt, is a very fun game designed for cooperative play, easy to learn and hard to master (as we all like, right?) has lots of levels, well designed, so it doesn't get boring fast, all the friends I invited to play liked it (and they usually don't like my games xD). If in doubt try the free demo.

Very fun and cool game to play with friends, family or new neighbors (it is not too friendly to single players). Highly recommended for partayz, or maybe other get-togethers such as christmas celebrations, whatever national holiday you may or may not celebrate, (who knows?) or even birthdays. It's an exercise in communication, compliance and craftmanship for the players, and for any observer present in the room, it will surely be entertaining (and frustrating at times). Thumps up (y).
não tem online, paguei 10000 reais e quando fui jogar com os amigos só tinha coop local
its one of the best game to play with friends. even friends who are not playing video games, my wife like it too
