Inspired by the arcade legend Donkey Kong, Shmonkey is a platformer where timing and precision are everything. A giant ape hurls barrels down a maze of ramps and ladders, and you need to dodge, jump, and climb your way to the top to rescue the captured princess. Shmonkey features multiple stage types -- from the classic barrel ramps to conveyor belt mazes, spring-loaded platforms, and rivet-removal challenges -- each demanding a completely different approach.

Jumps feel tight and precise, letting you thread through barrel cascades and land on tiny platforms with confidence. You can play it safe, waiting for gaps, or go aggressive -- leaping over barrels for bonus points and racing up ladders at top speed. The varied stage types keep the action from ever feeling repetitive, and the satisfaction of a flawless run through a barrage of hazards is hard to beat.

Shmonkey is part of SHMARCADE, a collection of free retro browser games. Every run is recorded so you can watch replays of any top score on the global leaderboard, challenge friends head-to-head with shareable links, and climb the rankings. It works on desktop and mobile with touch controls -- no download, no install, just pure arcade action.
