How it feels

a chaotic, cartoonish cooperative building game where cute bionic monkeys work under dangerous conditions, mixing physical puzzle-solving with humor and the constant threat of banana-related labor struggles.

What players say

Players praise Bonkies as a polished and hilarious local co-op construction game, best with four people. The single-player campaign is short, and the biggest complaint is the lack of online multiplayer, which kept the game from growing before development stalled in 2022.
