Monkey Bridge

The gorge is wide and the troop wants to cross. Build them a bridge out of what you have: Team of Monkeys logo planks, sturdy gorilla pillars, chimp braces, and monkeys hanging arm to arm. Every piece has its own weight, length, and strength. Place them from the near ledge out to the far one, keep the load balanced over your supports, and when the span reaches the other side, send the troop walking. Overreach without a pillar underneath and the whole thing sags, cracks, and drops into the dark.

Monkey Bridge

Goal: build a bridge from the left ledge to the right ledge so the monkeys can walk across.

How: click a piece in the rack at the bottom, then click in the gorge to place it. Your first piece must touch the left ledge. Every piece after that must touch the piece before it.

Careful: the further your bridge reaches from solid support, the higher the stress meter climbs. Drop a Gorilla Pillar down to the floor to hold the weight up. If stress hits one hundred percent, the bridge falls.

The game will walk you through your first bridge on screen.

1. Pick a piece

Click one of the four cards in the rack at the bottom, or press 1, 2, 3 or 4. The selected card lights up. Each card lists its reach (how far it spans), its weight, and its capacity (how much load it survives).

2. Place it

Move the mouse into the gorge and a ghost piece follows it. Green ghost means you can build there. Red ghost means there is nothing to anchor to, so move closer to the ledge or to your last piece. Click to place.

3. Hold the weight up

Pieces turn yellow then red as they take on load. When you see yellow, press 2 and drop a Gorilla Pillar straight down to the gorge floor near the strain. Pillars reset the load and bring stress back down.

4. Cross and repeat

Touch the far ledge and the troop walks over for a bonus. Fewer pieces and lower stress pay more. The gorge then widens for the next level. Backspace undoes your last piece, R restarts, P or Escape pauses.

A STOM Research game. The bridge pieces are drawn from the Team of Monkeys logo and characters. Your best score is kept in this browser only, and nothing is uploaded.
