Your complete game prompt

Copy it, attach your monkey drawing, and send them together.

Use Higgsfield to create the character artwork and Sites to build and publish the game. Make reasonable implementation decisions and complete the whole experience in one pass.

Preserve the drawing's personality: a playful, round monkey with a tan belly, expressive face, large ears, and a curling tail. Create consistent, colorful character sprites with bold illustrated outlines and transparent backgrounds.

The game should open directly onto the battlefield, ready to play. Give it the polish and energy of a finished indie game.

**Build the complete gameplay loop:**

- Balloons spawn over time and follow a winding path toward an exit.
- Players place monkeys beside the path. Monkeys automatically target and attack balloons within range.
- Popping balloons earns money. Escaped balloons subtract lives.
- Start with $600 and 30 lives.
- Players can recruit monkeys, select placed monkeys, see their attack range, purchase upgrades, and sell them for 75% of their investment.
- Include three stages with eight waves each. Increase balloon health, speed, numbers, and variety as the campaign progresses.
- Include clear wave completion, stage transitions, defeat, victory, and restart states.
- Between stages, refund the squad's full investment, grant $150, restore up to eight lives, and let the player rebuild on the next map.

**Offer nine recruitable monkey types with genuinely different attacks:**

| Monkey | Starting price | Combat role |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Dart Scout | $100 | Affordable darts; upgrades into gun and cannon monkeys |
| Gun Ranger | $280 | Rapid-fire bullets |
| Cannoneer | $630 | Explosive shells that damage groups |
| Ninja | $200 | Spinning shuriken that hit multiple balloons |
| Frost Mage | $180 | Ice bursts that slow groups |
| Storm Caller | $360 | Lightning that chains between balloons |
| Rocketeer | $480 | Long-range homing rockets with large explosions |
| Firestarter | $250 | Flame attacks that keep dealing burn damage |
| Sniper | $320 | Long-range rifle that prioritizes the strongest balloon |

Give each type a distinct outfit, weapon, accent color, and attack animation. Include meaningful upgrade paths that improve damage, range, attack speed, or special effects. Show the upgrade price and benefits before purchase. Upgrades should visibly change the monkey's weapon, effects, or appearance.

**Make the opening map visually impressive and strategically interesting:**

Stage one is **Canyon Falls**, a lush jungle gorge with a flowing turquoise river, a wooden bridge, rocky cliffs, dense foliage, and a winding balloon trail. The terrain should feel challenging from the beginning.

Rivers, rocks, and the trail must actually block monkey placement. Add clearly marked high-ground platforms that grant a real 25% range bonus, reflected in both targeting and the displayed range circle. Keep enough usable land for several viable starting strategies.

Stage two is **Sunstone Trail**, a rocky badlands route with tighter building areas. Stage three is **Moonlit Marsh**, a darker wetland with stronger balloon waves and more dangerous blimps.

**Give the game lots of animation and impact:**

- Monkeys breathe, sway, bounce into place, face targets, and recoil when attacking.
- Show traveling darts, bullet trails, spinning shuriken, ice crystals, branching lightning, homing rockets, flames, and sniper tracers.
- Add balloon bobbing, glossy highlights, hit reactions, freeze effects, and burning effects.
- Make pops produce colorful particles and floating cash rewards.
- Give explosions expanding shockwaves, sparks, glow, and restrained screen shake.
- Animate water currents, foliage, and ambient fireflies.
- Add animated wave announcements, boss warnings, upgrade bursts, pop-streak counters, and victory celebrations.
- Include optional sound effects and a reduced-motion setting. Cosmetic effects must never change combat timing or obscure the battlefield.

Use a rich dark-jungle interface with warm gold controls, readable typography, polished panels, and colorful character cards. Keep the battlefield dominant, with a three-by-three monkey roster and a useful upgrade panel alongside it.

Support mouse, touch, and keyboard controls. Include pause/resume, 1x/2x/3x speed, instructions, and restart confirmation. Make the layout work well on desktop and mobile.

Implement real gameplay and functional controls throughout. Keep animation performance smooth and clean up expired effects. Before finishing, test money accounting, attacks, specialist effects, blocked placement, high-ground bonuses, upgrades, wave progression, victory/defeat, and responsive controls. Verify that multiple starting squads are viable and the full campaign is winnable.

Publish the finished game privately and return the playable link with brief instructions.
