After playing all the deep and sophisticated games that most gaming pundits rave about, there is much comfort in playing something that is straightforward and simple. There are plenty of games like that, which you can enjoy with friends, and Gun Monkeys by Size Five Games could be added to that list. Perhaps it’s unfair to label the game as a “no-brainer”, and perhaps its gameplay does open up some tactical possibilities, but it really is pretty simple as a game.

Dan Marshall, the man behind Gun Monkeys has come up with an innovative way of getting more people to play the monkey deathmatch title - you will get a free Steam key to gift to friends if you're alone on a server. Dan talks to The Reticule about why he is doing this.

Monkeys with guns? We say no more.

From the minds that brought you “Ben there, Dan that” and “Time, Gentlemen please” comes a new type of game altogether from them. In the future we’re all dead, and because we’re dead we’ve become fuel… simple enough right? Well, add into that a bunch of dueling monkeys that contend for resources and you have Gun Monkeys. So. Shoot away I guess?
