What is Chimpology?
Set in 1999, this arcade typing game casts you as a chimp routing pictures across the internet. You copy binary patterns using two buttons to assemble each image; a single mistake gets you fired. You can also load your own pictures from the game folder.
For you if...
- +you enjoy absurd humor about technology and corporate work
- +you want rhythm play to be optional
Not for you if...
- −you prefer full-keyboard typing over matching binary patterns
