Monkey Cliff Diving Overview
Monkey Cliff Diving was one of those simple Flash games you'd find in the mid-2000s. It didn't need a complicated story or fancy graphics. You just had a monkey on a cliff, and you had to make him jump.
You control the timing of the dive. A monkey appears at the edge, and you click on him to send him leaping into the water below. The challenge comes from the environment. Waves roll in and out, and the wind speed changes, altering his trajectory. If you click too slowly, he'll dive on his own, often with poor results. The goal is to score points by hitting the water cleanly, with bonuses for speed. The game moves at a steady, patient pace, but a mistimed click leads to a quick, cartoonish splat against the rocks. It feels like a test of your nerve more than your reflexes.
