Bonkies is a physics-driven party game in which a crew of space monkeys builds structures across the cosmos. Each player straps on a banana-powered jetpack and a robotic arm, then grabs blocks and stacks them inside a marked outline to finish projects such as lunar habitats, rockets and hotels adrift in space. Some jobs call for less conventional tools than a simple stack.
Up to four players can share one screen in couch co-op, and a single-player mode is also available. The humor is silly, and the fun comes from coordinating with friends while everything wobbles and drifts. It suits groups looking for a lighthearted, chaotic cooperative game, with full controller support for playing on a shared couch.
