> **[Turtle Monkey Trouble - Beta Test](https://arcade.makecode.com/23271-75704-99614-13274)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. Considering this my “beta” test release. Feedback on the game and/or ways to improve is very welcome! Plays on PyGamer too, though the last level is a bit slow. Used MakeCode’s platformer tutorial on YouTube to build the bulk of this (excellent job with that, by the way!). Working on and almost finished with a 3D printable Turtle Monkey toy to go along with this (will share link to STL files when they’re ready if that’s your thing). ![IMG_2099](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/1X/c43facff9940a96c65101e330e9989c820b4d6e4.jpeg) ---

Oh hey this game is awesome! I love the vines and the dancing crabs. And the story bits are a really nice touch. Small bits of feedback: - I defeated the boss in one jump without any danger, maybe I just got lucky - When dying it be nice if you didn’t have to start over from level 1. Maybe instead there could be a score penalty and start on the previous level or something? I kept dying on the last levels, haha. I’m planning on adding this to the Cat Jumper. By the way, I’m planning part 4 & 5 for the platformer series. Do you have any game features or mechanics that you’d like covered? The STL files would be a nice too, a few of us do 3D printing here (mostly @jwunderl :P). ---

This is amazing! I hope we get a whole turtle monkey franchise ---

Great suggestions, darzu! Thank you. Currently the boss only takes one hit, but I would ideally like it to take two to three jumps to take it down. Out of curiosity, which boss did you face? There’s the Gorilla Turtle, and a “secret” one that’s a bit more dangerous… I really like the idea of the score penalty/start on previous level upon death. I too kept dying on the last level (didn’t want to make it _too_ easy). I will explore that, or refer to future Cat Jumper updates depending on how time allows. As for other game mechanics to go over, maybe a “dash” mechanic? I tried a bunch of different ways to have Turtle Monkey dash for a second when the B button was pressed, but could not figure out how to execute it. Eventually landed on just increasing the speed you can travel when B button is pressed. Glad to hear offering STLs would be exciting for more people than myself! I’ll post a direct link once they’re uploaded. You can watch [https://www.myminifactory.com/users/DragonMountainDesign](https://www.myminifactory.com/users/DragonMountainDesign) for the files as well. Thanks again! ---

Thank you! I hope to make more Turtle Monkey-centric games… mostly because I’m lazy when it comes to character development. 😉 ---

Oh I’m pretty sure I fought the Gorilla Turtle. I’ll have to look for the secret boss next time! 🙂 I’m glad you mention dash, that’s something I was thinking about talking about. If you try this version of Cat Jumper (from Arcade homepage): [https://makecode.com/\_48gJMuXHqMmH](https://makecode.com/_48gJMuXHqMmH) you can use the “B” button to crouch and charge up a mega jump (fully charged when the tail goes flat). I’m pretty sure I could show that in such a way that it would work as a dash as well. Cheers ---

Finally had a chance to finish this! Bosses now take more than one hit to be defeated, and the current level starts over with a score of zero upon loss of life. > **[Turtle Monkey Trouble](https://arcade.makecode.com/43768-78827-06734-08470)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. 3D printable Turtle Monkey action figure is also now available to download!
