A top-down pixel roguelite. Shoot animals, buy sketchy stuff, pray to gods. Brutal and addicting, and made by one guy.
Try on the hats and colours.
Chimpanzee Marketing 6 is a top-down pixel roguelite. Each run makes a new floor out of about ten rooms. You move with WASD and shoot with the arrow keys, and the doors don't open until everything in the room is dead.
Between fights there's a hunting grove where you shoot animals for money, a shady market that sells you random stuff, and shrines where you pray to gods and make choices that change the run. Each floor ends with a boss.
Windows only. Keyboard or controller. Free, but donations are welcome (needed, cause I'm broke). There's no demo yet: join the mailing list and you get the link when it's ready.
There are now 91 achievements to unlock. Some are for killing lots of one enemy, some for beating bosses and diving deep, some for streaks and big scores, some for dying in embarrassing ways. A few of them are secret. Anything you unlock shows up on your profile here.
The main menu got cleaned up as well. Play, Daily Challenge and Co-op are up top, and everything else sits in a tidy grid underneath.
Five new things to chase, in the game and here on the site:
The biggest update yet. Floor 2 is now the Asylum: padded cells, orderlies, crawlers and plague rats, and a new boss at the end of it, the Roid Rat. He swipes, he slams the floor, and his gas mask leaks.
You can now look up anyone's monkey in the Players section and see their level, title and recent runs. Log in under My profile to change your name, hat, fur colour and title right from the website.
chimpanzeemarketing.com is up. You can try on every hat and colour, browse the battle pass, and see the top scores once the servers are on.
The game has a leaderboard menu with tabs for solo, co-op, 1v1 and free-for-all. Your title now shows next to your name in 1v1 and free-for-all.
There's a Claim All button, a NEW! badge on the main menu, and a popup on the death screen when you level up or reach a new tier.
Accounts, scores and online play are moving to my own servers, so they may be offline for a while as I set them up.
You, one monkey, and a floor that wants you dead. Every finished run gives you XP.
Host a room and send your friends the four-letter code. Up to six of you can climb together.
Last monkey standing wins the round. First to the target wins the match.
Everyone against everyone. Power-ups drop into the arena while you fight.
What's waiting for you down there. Every one of them has its own way of ruining your run.
A huge rat in a gas mask who has clearly been skipping leg day. He swipes at anything close, slams the floor hard enough to throw out a ring of toxic globs, and leaves gas clouds behind that hurt to stand in. Below half health he gets angry and fast.
Every run fills the pass: 100 pass XP per tier, 30 tiers. The plain colours are free for everybody. Glitter, sparkly, glowing, rainbow and golden are rewards you have to earn.
Scroll sideways to see all 30 tiers.
Today's daily challenge: everyone plays the same seed. The board resets at midnight UTC.
Everyone with a CM6 account. Pick a monkey to see its profile: level, title, look and recent runs.
Locked hats and colours are battle pass rewards. Earn them in the game, then come back here.
Only you can see this. Every change goes straight to the live game server.
I'm a 17 year old independent game dev who likes making the player experience brutal and addicting. I'm pretty inconsistent with working on projects, so long breaks do happen.

I'll email you about teasers, the demo and updates, and only when there's something to say. It opens a short Google Form. I only use your email to tell you about the game, and you can leave the list whenever you want.
