In Macaco Grande, your mission is to combat an infestation of monkeys who are terrorizing the city. Each level is a building that must be traveled vertically, using stairs and platforms and without touching the monkeys and coconuts what they throw – a very similar gameplay with 2D vertical shoot’em ups and a sincere tribute to the old arcade classics about monkeys.
At the top of each building is the terrible Macaco Grande, the bigger gorilla of the world, who all other monkeys follows. Defeat him and free the city of this evil!
