Ape Attack

Read full description

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.

What is "UBEK"? Why does this game look like it was created 30 years ago? It's because indeed, it was! "UBEK" was one of the first Wolfenstein-lookalikes for Commodore Amiga, published in Poland in 1995. These were remarkable times. The '90s saw the birth of 3D graphics in games — what looks clunky today was groundbreaking back then. Developers were experimenting with new ways of visualizing and interacting within three-dimensional worlds, and entirely new genres were just beginning to take shape... The 2025 recreation is built from the same, 30-year old graphics, sound, level maps and code, except for small improvements (listed below) in order to make the game more enjoyable and compatible with modern displays and game controllers. Alternatively, the less orthodox retro gaming enthusiasts can also choose the alternative, enhanced versions of some graphics and sound pieces, provided by DJREMIX!
