ITT: Games you wanted to love but just couldn't.

The art was fucking adorable, the music was good, I heard a lot of great stuff about this game, but my fucking Jesus is it bad.

You can't go backwards, there's trails of rings that lead you to jump into pits of death, the game missed a lot of great opportunities to teach players the mechanics of jumping and stuff at more appropriate times (there's jumps you need to make with down + b before you even see the first sign that tells you to do it, for instance. That's fucking bullshit, you don't even need that sign if you already know how to use it), your weapon is fucking dangerously terrible until you get an upgrade, there's a number of moments through the first few levels where hits are nearly unavoidable, and I ran out of time several fucking times trying to beat the first boss. The only time I was able to actually beat him, I killed him at the same time that the time ran out, and when I started the next level I died instantaneously with the usual time over animation, it was interesting and kinda funny but a fucking waste of a life anyway.

Okay.. if it was not Toki...
Could it have been Banana Prince ?
I don't remember if your character gets turned into a monkey, but there were lots of monkeys in the game and if I'm not mistaken it was released in Europe ...(Germany to be more specific)

I'm not sure about it, but it might be the one you're looking for.
