Build a fast, funny tower-defense game for the browser inspired by "The Bad Bunch": a troop of jungle monkeys makes its last stand against waves of bad bananas.
Tech: the original is listed as a Three.js game; use Three.js for a 3D jungle board, or a 2D engine such as Phaser if you prefer. Single page, works on phone and desktop.
Core loop: enemies follow a path through the jungle toward your base. Spend bananas/coins to place monkey towers (e.g. a coconut thrower, a slow-down vine monkey, a big area-smash gorilla), upgrade them, and survive increasingly tough waves, including a boss wave.
Controls: click/tap a spot to place or upgrade a tower, a button to start the next wave early, and a speed-up toggle.
Tone: cartoony, with goofy enemy designs and lots of hit feedback and sound.
Steps: 1) path + enemies + one tower, 2) money, placement and upgrades, 3) 3-4 tower types and 10 waves, 4) boss, juice and sound, 5) your own twist.
Make it your own: don't copy the original's name, art, text or code.
