This was a pretty interesting game. The graphics are nicely animated, the smoke is smooth and the concept is really cool. It\'s sort of like Pacman except with a twist, that the monkeys can only follow you on paths you have moved on, which is a really neat idea.

In theory this would be cool, if it worked for the fact that the game has some serious flaws. First the monkeys for the most part only go up and down and never really try to chase you. Secondly, you can drive off the screen and hide if they ever do. And thirdly the game plays the same on every level each time. There doesn’t seem to be much of a point to continuing to play except for small variations in the between each level.

However on the positive side, with a bit of work this game could really work, the concept is novel and with some work it could be something special.

Eleven Monkeys is an nice game,
it contains fire and smoke and makes use of the trash theme.
The Fire effect is very nice but the smoke looks very static.
The enemys are a littlebit stupid and often all Monkeys are going the same way wich makes it easy to kill all at the same time when they all are at one position.
Because of the not very clever enemys the game becomes very fast boring but I think with an better ai this game could becom very funny.

Giving me a mixed first impression with an ugly looking menu with
awesome music, this game turned out to be the game i liked the most.
The graphics are great for a weekends work, featuring eleven
cool-looking animated monkeys, two bull-dozer drivers and a garbage
heap with windows logos in it (nice!). Enought sweet talk: the
game resembles packman, the largest difference is that you create
the paths yourself with your bulldozer, this isn\'t as fun as it
sounds, because the AI sucks(understandable) and it\'s practically
impossible to lose. I don\'t know what eleven over-sized monkeys
have to do with the news so i guess there is nothing to say
about the artistical part of this game other than that it dosen\'t
exist(however, the news plays a part in the game such as in between
levels and in the story). You drive a bulldozer around in a garbage
heap, and that\'s it for the genre part. As for the technical part
it has both fire and smoke effects, on the contrary to the fire
effect the smoke effect is very weak, small black circles comes
from the bulldozer and the source of the smoke dosen\'t even change
when you turn your bulldozer around.. Can\'t complain about the
gameplay, except from the stupid enemies and monotonous maps.

Reading the readme makes me very sad, the music isn\'t original,
nor is some of the graphics, the code reuse (main loop, menu,
resource management, object handling) seems to be a lot
and therefor i don\'t respect the game as much as i did before,
but it\'s still great, and it\'s still my fav.
