About Bass Monkey

Bass Monkey is a free hack n' slash, arcade action-platformer, set to the music of a 5 song EP! Up to 4 players can compete (or co-operate!) in this short, low-stress, musical platformer. Play as a bass swingin' monkey or guitar swingin' panda, collect bananas, smack away your fans, and try to top the high score leaderboards!Features:
- Select your character and adjust strength, agility, and health stats to prepare for battle!
- Attack with elegant combos and dodge enemy attacks.
- Race to collect bananas, because they're tasty (and add to your point score)!
- Progress through an instrumental pop album. Each song brings its own new challenges!
- Play solo, compete against friends (4 players), or cooperate as a band to achieve the highest score you can!
A note from the developer:
I hope that this little game offers you a short yet pleasant experience! It’s good to play with friends/family, because it makes for a fun party game and an easy introduction into video games (it features infinite "continues"). Or, if you’re playing alone and you have a decent pair of headphones/speakers, it can be a chill musical experience where you can try to max out your score on the leaderboards. Either way, I hope it brings you some joy -- I sure enjoyed making it!
Cheers, Jacob Weersing (YakobSoup)

I don’t know where to begin with Bass Monkey. On one hand, it’s a game that, at first, seemed like just another quirky adventure. On the other hand, it slowly devoured my life in ways I never imagined possible, and now, I’m left with nothing but the remnants of my mind and my shattered reality. Bass Monkey is a free Hack and Slash arcade game. Up to 4 friends can compete (or co-operate!) in this short, low-stress, musical platformer, what could possibly go wrong. As I got deeper into the game, something sinister began to unfold. At first, it was harmless. I’d play for an hour here or there, enjoying the oddly addictive beats and the silly premise of a bass-obsessed monkey. But then, the hours started to stretch into days, and my obsession grew. Bass Monkey became my life. I found myself playing for 10 hours straight some days, barely eating, barely sleeping. And this was at the expense of everything around me — my family, my friends, even my dying grandmother. I’ll never forget the night I missed her final moments. I had been so immersed in Bass Monkey that I didn’t even hear my phone ring. I didn’t see the messages. The game’s insidious grip on me was so strong that it kept me …1 found this helpful

This game changed the trajectory of my life. before playing bass monkey, I had never felt true happiness. after i played bass monkey everything changed. the ratio of bananas to bass monkey on my screen was insane. my game almost crashed. bass monkey showed me the way of life. he payed for my college tuition, gave me emergency surgery, and cured my cancer. if you played as the panda. I hate you.
Bass Monkey is genuinely a fire game. i really love the music and character designs (RIP punk hamsters :c) i would pay top dollar for a metroidvania in this style with these characters. 9/10
best game ive ever played rad as ♥♥♥♥
in 2025 few pieces of art manage to capture the spirit of what it means to be human, ironically a game where you play as a monkey with a bass guitar is one of them, when my son showed me bass monkey back in the beta tests in 1945 i thought, has science gone too far, is this really what we are going to use to stop the germans, will we need to develope a geneva convention to stop this from occuring in the future, when bass monkey dropped in japan it ended the war, saved millions of lives, but at what cost, 9/10 best game of the year 1938.
