• 🐒 Chimpanzees move 25% faster than other species.

The Species

The Species badges give and extra boost to the special ability of your ape (HP, speed and/or Jump).

There is one type of Species Badge for each species of apes present in the game : 🦍 Gorilla (+HP), 🐒 Chimpanzees (+speed), 🦧 Orangutans (+jump) and 💎 Bonobos (+HP,+speed,+jump).

This type of Badge only works when equipped on the right category. For example, if you have a Gorilla Species Badge, it can only be equipped on a Gorilla (hence boosting its HP). It cannot be equipped on an Orangutan.

• 🥉 Bronze Species Badges: increase the special ability of your Apes by 3%
• 🥈 Silver Species Badges: increase the special ability of your Apes by 5%
• 🏅 Golden Species Badges: increase the special ability of your Apes by 7%
• 💠 Diamond Species Badges: increase the special ability of your Apes by 10%

The Apemocrats

The Apemocrats badges were airdropped to GLMR APES holders who actively took part in the DAO’s vote between April and July 2022.

These Badges come in 4 classes (🥉 Bronze, 🥈 Silver, 🏅 Golden and 💠 Diamond) and give an extra bonus on the fruit score of the players at the end of their game session.

The higher the class of the Apemocrat, the higher the percentage of bonus on your fruit score:

• 🥉 Bronze Apemocrats: +2% bonus on your fruit score at the end of the game session.
• 🥈 Silver Apemocrats: +3% bonus on your fruit score at the end of the game session.
• 🏅 Golden Apemocrats: +5% bonus on your fruit score at the end of the game session.
• 💠 Diamond Apemocrats: +7% bonus on your fruit score at the end of the game session.

• 🍍 Fruit Taster allows the player to eat 3 rotten fruits without losing score points.
• 🅰️ The Letter doubles the score (50 instead of 25) you get for each A,P,E,S letter in the game. It also doubles the Bonus if you get all 4 letters (150 instead of 75 extra points).
• 🥥 Coco Helmet allows the player to sustain several enemy hits before starting to lose HP during 15 seconds.
• 🧲 Juicy Attraction provides the player with a magnet at the beginning of the game session during 15 seconds. This magnet automatically attracts the good fruits to the player.
• ⏳ Master of Time gives additional extra time for your game session (+10 seconds)
• 😡 Ape Wrath doubles the score points you receive for each enemy killed.

The Good ones:

Not all fruits were created equal though… Some fruits are usually rarer and harder to catch but will give you more points than others

• 🍌 Bananas are the most rewarding, they will give you +70 points for each fruit collected.
• 🍍 Pineapples are pretty good too, they will give you +47 points for each fruit collected.
• 🥭 Mangoes will give you +29 points for each fruit collected.
• 🥥 Coconuts are easy to grab but will only give you +17 points for each fruit collected
• 🍉 Watermelons are the easiest catch but will only give you +12 points for each fruit collected.

The Bad (rotten) ones:

All fruits have their rotten counterpart. These bad fruits have a slightly different colour and a dim pale green aura around them. You should stay way and avoid eating them as they will give you a score malus (you will lose score points)

• 🍌 Rotten Bananas will make you lose -6 points for each fruit collected.
• 🍍 Rotten Pineapples will make you lose -12 points for each fruit collected.
• 🥭 Rotten Mangoes will make you lose -20 points for each fruit collected.
• 🥥 Rotten Coconuts will make you lose -26 points for each fruit collected.
• 🍉 Rotten Watermelons will make you lose -30 points for each fruit collected.

• Fruit score bonus:
  The only way to get this bonus is to equip your Ape with an Apemocrat badge.
  Depending on the class of your apemocrat badge, you’ll get an extra +2% (Bronze), +3% (Silver),+5% (Golden) or + 7% (Diamond).
• Enemy score bonus:
  The only way to get it is to equip your Ape with an Ape Wrath badge.
• A,P,E,S:
  You will get 25 points for each letter you collect in the game (up to 4x 25 = 100 points). If you manage to get all four, you will receive an extra 50 points.
  On top of this, if you equipped your Ape with The Letter Badge, all the bonus mentioned above are multiplied by 2 (50 points per letter + 100 points if you get all 4).
• HP left Bonus:
  All the remaining HP of your health Bar will automatically convert in points at the end of the game session (1 HP = 1 point).
• Time Bonus:
  You get this bonus by managing to stay alive as long as you can.
  You only start to get a Time Bonus when the clock reaches 59 seconds (of game play left).
