Gibbon: Beyond the Trees

Gibbon: Beyond the Trees is a casual indie game where you are a gibbon, travelling with your family through 10 levels - swinging and sliding trying to maintain your momentum.

As the levels progress, the encroachment of both industry and hunters becomes apparent and it's not as easy to navigate the landscape.  Then at a halfway point, after you and your spouse have helped each other, a hand out if you were going to miss a jump, hunters chase you through a level - killing your spouse and kidnapping your child.

The remaining levels are chasing after the helicopter and navigating the (now "concrete") jungle, eventually rescuing and escaping.   The game was well done, the mechanics of swinging and sliding felt good, and with good subtle(?) messaging about the encroachment of industry on natural habitats.  

Once complete, you can play as your child "Lilac" where the game becomes more arcade-like, the landscape remains mostly urban but you rescue various birds and go for double-flip achievements and the like.  Meh - feels like it was tacked on and honestly takes a little away from the art piece of the main game.
