01 / THE GUIDE
Monkey Team Building
Players construct a monkey squad, selecting teammates and optionally adding AI bots to reinforce the force. Coordinated play and strategy are emphasized to win matches. The game encourages teamwork, echoing the saying “Monkeys are strong together!” which highlights the benefit of coordinated actions for success.
- Experiment with different bot placements to see which complements your playstyle.
- Communicate simple commands with teammates to maximize coordinated attacks.

Vehicle Control
Certain map areas contain drivable vehicles that players can locate and operate. Vehicles allow players to crush enemy monkeys, adding a powerful tactical option. Vehicle usage is limited to designated zones, so positioning and timing are crucial for effective deployment.
- Scout vehicle locations early to plan routes.
- Use vehicles to break enemy lines when the combat zone is dense.

Environmental Hazards
The maps feature natural dangers such as sea areas where prolonged exposure leads to drowning and death. This adds a realistic survival element to matches. Players must balance aggressive movement with awareness of hazardous zones to avoid unintended fatalities.
- Avoid lingering near water unless you have a clear escape route.
- Use the hazard zones to funnel enemies into predictable paths.
