Now that you’ve had the chance to play MONKEY BARRELS, it’s time to introduce you to some fun tips that we found helpful:
Know Your Enemy—Learn to recognize different enemies and pay attention to how they behave. For example, some do not fire projectiles, some do not pursue you directly, some are faster than others, some are stunned when they’re shot, and so on.
Once you learn their patterns and tendencies, you’ll know which ones pose a greater (or more immediate) threat. Focus your firepower on the enemies you can’t avoid and the ones that can hurt you the most! After the bigger threats are eliminated, it’ll be easier to take out the rest.
Jumping is the Key—Hanako and Masaru are fast and elusive, but sometimes the “bullet hell” patterns are too much for any monkey to handle. That’s where the Jump button comes into play: You can leap out of the way without taking any damage. It’s extremely important to learn how to attack while simultaneously dodging bullets with repeated jumps. In fact, the game’s developer, Good-Feel, says it’s the key to conquering MONKEY BARRELS!
Jump Ahead—If you press the Jump button while you’re moving, you’ll jump in the direction you’re moving… but if you press it while standing still, you’ll jump in the direction you’re facing instead. This can be useful when you need the jump to land on a specific spot, or if you’re just being careful.
Use Wild Power—It’s tempting to save up your Wild Power for boss battles or areas with lots of enemies, but remember: Once your WP Gauge is full, you can’t earn any more until you use it up. You’ll pass up a lot of opportunities to get more Wild Power if you’re walking around for too long with a full WP Gauge, just sayin’!
Secret Bonus—Having trouble with a certain stage? If you fail repeatedly, you may be offered the opportunity to continue with a +3 Life Gauge Bonus to make things a bit easier. Don’t be reluctant to take advantage of this offer—it’s not cheating, we won’t tell anybody!
We hope these tips can help you as well!
