Pay peanuts, catch monkeys. Explore, puzzle, and fight your way through a tropical island to catch those monkeys! - Explore the island, from the jungle to the mountains to inside a vulcano. - Capture monkeys, and fight the other animals trying to attack you. - Use your net, but also use your brain to solve puzzles and challenges. The goal is to find and catch the monkeys in each level. Monkeys will run away from you, and are protected by other animals. You need to catch monkeys in your net, which will slow you down and make you more likely to get hit by those other animals. You can of course try to knock out the other animals, but that means the monkeys will get away. You might also find locked doors and other obstacles along the way, meaning you will need to figure out how to proceed.
