A downloadable game

A spiritual successor to Donkey Kong Jungle Beat staring an angry bull!
Jump and Run your way through the sky fortress while taking down enemies and obstacles in your way to face the final boss in a brawl.

This game can be played with a keyboard, but it was made with the DK Bongos in mind.

These can be connected to the PC through some trickery if you have the Gamecube to Wii U adapter or a similar device.

When using JoyToKey set up the left bongo to act as the left arrow key, the right bongo to act as the right arrow key and the clap sensor to act as the space bar.

The method and tools I used are described here:

This is a proof of concept rather than a full game and only has one level with a boss fight.

Created with Unreal Engine 5

Are there any plans to port the game to Gamecube for those of us with the bongos but not the adapter? Even just an ISO file to run on a modded Wii would be enough.

Hey, thanks for showing interest in the game.
Since this game is made with Unreal Engine 5 though it needs quite the powerful device to run and even if there was a way for me to create a gamecube build, it wouldn't be able to handle the game.

I mean, of course the Gamecube port would have lower-poly models and lower-quality textures; that's a given. I'm also aware that, even beyond graphics, it would likely require building a new engine since obviously UE5 has no "export to Gamecube ISO" option, but I guess that's your way of saying it's not worth it, which is understandable. Oh well; thanks for responding.

Yeah it would be a huge amount of work and for me this project is pretty much over and I'm working on the next thing ðŸ™‡
