Major update

Improved Liberation mode and final polish round incoming!

All news Players around this date Read on Steam

Hey everyone!

We gathered the team one more time and fine-tuned all the minor aspects we were itching to make better. We also added one major feature for Liberation Mode. It was a pleasure to dive back into Gibbon with our wonderful team. We hope you enjoy this update as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

Escape the new hawk-eagle:

Predator Approaching!

Can you escape the new bird of prey that hunts Lilac? Stay alert: The hawk-eagle now appears during Liberation mode and can kill our gibbons!
Take a break in our gibbon's family tree to celebrate whenever you free 10 animals. This improves the overall rhythm of longer runs in Liberation mode. We also added some new levels, where you can slide through more industrial areas in plantation and carefully traverse an intimidating burning landfill in town.

So much polish to sweeten up this update:

Shinier than ever

Coolest addition: Humans now react to gibbons passing by! The gibbons' bounce animation got an iteration and is now snappier and more visually appealing. We've also added some cool water effects when Pink or Lilac run through shallow water.
Additionally we've made improvements to various minor visual aspects throughout the game, making the game world even more intriguing. Lastly we've boosted the performance and optimised memory usage, making things even smoother for you.

Keep swinging 🐒, now better than ever 💅!
