Monkey Around is a puzzle game where you try to find monkeys that are hiding in a jungle. The jungle hides the monkeys so that you can't see exactly where they are. A large banana throwing machine surrounds the jungle and you can use the machine to figure out where the monkeys are hiding. Depending on where the monkeys are, and where the bananas exit the jungle (or don't), you should be able to figure out where the monkeys are hiding.

Rules to remember

To throw a banana, click on one of the stations labeled with a letter or number on the outside of the jungle. The banana will be thrown in a straight line, and move through the jungle according to the following rules. One of several things can happen:

1) The banana will continue going in a straight line, and exit the jungle on the opposite side.

If this happens, there were no monkeys in that row or column.

2) A banana is thrown directly to a monkey.

If this happens, the monkey catches and eats the banana, and the banana never leaves the jungle.

3) If there is a monkey sitting on the very edge of the jungle right next to one of the banana throwing stations and a banana is thrown on either side of the monkey, it will try and reach the banana.

Since the banana didn't come directly to the monkey, it tries to reach it, but instead bats it away, going back in the direction it came. You'll see that the banana exits the jungle are the same point it went in.

4) If a banana comes within one square diagonally of a monkey, the monkey will try and reach it. Unfortunately for the monkey, all they can do is bat it away, knocking it away at a 90 degree angle but it continues to travel through the jungle where it can continue to be reached by other monkeys.

Either another monkey will catch the banana, or it will eventually exit the jungle.
