Konkey Dong

Konkey Dong is a role-reversed take on the classic Donkey Kong. Control the ape at the top of the scaffolding and fight off the fearless plumbers climbing up to rescue the girl you've grabbed.

Barrels periodically drop from the top of the screen, to be picked up and throwed down the scaffolding. Once thrown, a barrel will predictably descend down any ladder it passes and reverse direction when it reaches the edge of the screen. Plumbers work similarly, relentlessly moving forward and climbing up any ladder they encounter.

The game also features a two-player mode, where Player 1 controls the ape and Player 2 controls one of the plumbers.

Originally developed for the Ludum Dare 25 game jam.
