Chunky Monkey
Description:
Chunky Monkey is a multiplayer top-down style game that pits players against another in one of three competitive game modes. Each mode offers players different objectives and win conditions.
Instructions:
For more than 2 players, it is recommended to use Xbox controllers with Xpadder. To do so, run Xpadder\Xpadder.exe and plug in up to 4 Xbox 360 controllers. If you get an error while trying to run Xpadder, open its Properties and set Compatibility Mode to Windows XP service pack 3. Configure the button mappings to follow the scheme below. We recommend using the D-pad instead of a joystick.
The game can be played entirely on the Keyboard as well (even up to 4 players). Only Player 1 can control the menus (except Character Select). Do so by using the arrows to change your selections and press the Throw button to proceed.
