Publishers Crunching Koalas have announced their new game, Bonkies. Bonkies is a physics-based couch co-op construction builder from Studio Gauntlet. There’s currently no release date confirmed but the game is expected this summer on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch.
Bonkies gives 1-4 players a highly trained monkey, each equipped with bionic arms and a jetpack before setting them lose on construction projects located on various planets throughout the solar system. Players will need to cooperate to move and stack blocks to fit the preplanned outlines, all within a time limit.
