MonkeyStranded

Monkey Stranded — Itch RC1.4

A two-character tropical survival sandbox with an optional full Ant Wars world hidden inside the island anthill.

#Goal

Gather island resources and craft a raft. Completing it starts a fresh randomized island phase with empty inventory. Island progress is intentionally not saved.

Approach or click the anthill to enter Ant Wars. Escape or E returns to the current island. Objective notices are compact and disappear automatically so interaction messages remain readable.
