About this game
ChimpUP! is a chaotic co-op movement focused party game where you and your friends race and play minigames. Armed with two independent grapple hooks for arms, you and up to three other chimp friends compete in races across a variety of fast paced maps. Master the swing action, collect the bananas and satisfy your urge!
RACE TO THE BANANA
Speed is Everything! Compete against your friends in rapid-fire races where every map has a weird gimmick. Finish first to earn points, then immediately launch into the next course without missing a beat. First chimp to reach the target score claims victory.
DOUBLE GRAPPLE HOOK
Two Arms, Infinite Possibilities: Each of your arms is an independent grappling hook, giving you complete control over your climbing style. Alternate between arms for steady climbing, or use both simultaneously for explosive momentum swings. The maps are your playground, it's up to you to master the technique!
PLAY MINIGAMES
Battle with your friends in a fast paced movement based deatmatch minigame! Or pass the bomb to someone else before the timer runs out in the exploding heads minigame!
SABOTAGE YOUR FRIENDS
All's Fair in Chimp Racing: Why climb fair when you can climb dirty? Grab your friends mid-swing to throw them off course, or knock them loose at the worst possible moment. Be a nightmare!
EXPRESS YOURSELF
Customize your chimp with unique cosmetics and create your own identity on the mountain. Even if you can’t collect any bananas, make sure you outshine them all with fashion!
IN-GAME COSMETIC AND MAP EDITOR
Design custom maps with unique challenges and gimmicks, or craft original cosmetics to share with the community!
