    • There are 32 levels in this game.
      • You can replay any of the levels you’ve already unlocked.
      • Replay the level if you think you can get a better star rating on it.
  • Basic rules
    • Move the code blocks to the chain to move the monkey around.
      • Select a code block from the list on the left side of the screen.
      • Each block will make the monkey move one space forward.
      • Drag and drop the blocks in the proper order.
    • If you’ve placed a block incorrectly, you move it around or delete.
      • Delete a block by dragging and dropping it into the trash button
    • Once you’re done setting up your movement routine, select the play and pause command at the top of the chain to see the monkey in motion.
    • To clear the level, the monkey must reach the banana.
      • If you fail the level, you must start again.
  • Level features
    • Hedges
      • These are your standard obstacle.
      • You can move around them or jump over them.
      • If you move the monkey to the hedge, you automatically fail the level.
    • Banana
      • The banana is your goal. To finish the level, you must bring the monkey to the tile where the banana is.
      • You don’t always need to move to the banana first.
    • Coins
      • Starting from Level 9, you can collect coins.
      • Clearing the level within the required moves after collecting all the coins will grant you the full three stars.
      • We recommend going to an out-of-the-way coin before going to the banana.
  • Command blocks
    • You start the game with 4 basic command blocks:
      • Move north
      • Move south
      • Move west
      • Move east
    • In later levels, you encounter more complex commands.
      • Repeat
        • Repeat commands become available from Level 5 onward.
        • This command makes the monkey to do a task over and over a set number of times.
        • Drag and drop a command into the repeat command box.
          • They will appear to be a code chain within a code chain.
          • Commands nestled within repeat command blocks also count toward the block limit.
        • Set the number of times the code will repeat.
      • Jump over
        • Jump over blocks appear from Level 10 onward.
        • This command lets the monkey move quickly by jumping. This way, you can bypass shrubs without going around them.
        • Once you’ve placed the command in, you must set the following:
          • The number of tiles the monkey will jump over
          • The direction they’ll jump
        • The monkey will automatically land in the tile after the number of tiles they jumped over.
          • If they jump over 2 tiles, for instance, they’ll land on the third.
        • You can only jump over a shrub. You can’t arbitrarily jump if there is no object to jump over between your current location and the destination.
  • Ratings
    • A good code is an efficient one.
    • To earn a good star rating, you must do the following:
      • Use no more than the number of commands shown on the top center of the screen.
      • Collect all the coins in the level.
  • Tips
    • Don’t be afraid to try again. Trial and error can help you sort out tough challenges.
    • Use the repeat and jump functions to reach areas faster whenever possible. This can reduce the number of blocks you need to finish the level.
    • You can place multiple commands inside a repeat loop. For example, you can have the repeat loop go up then right, repeating the sequence 3 times, which means you are making 6 moves using only 3 tiles.
    • If you are struggling to collect all the coins on a level consider beating it without collecting all the coins & then come back to the level again after all have been completed.
• Target Audience
  • The game is suited for players who like simple logic games.
  • The game has no adult themed content.
