History VideoGame / ChimpsOnABlimp

A 2018 [[PointAndClickGame Point-and-Click game]] for Windows by Wainstop and a few others, including Pilotredsun of WebVideo/{{Garfielf}} fame.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If the reaction of Red Baron's boss isn't making it obvious enough, you really weren't supposed to free that monkey from its case.

The game follows the story of Red Baron trying to escape from a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin blimp infested with chimps]]. A moderately silly tale, it's made outright bizzare but the game's extreme levels of SurrealHumor, which also makes it more confusing than it really is.

* InstructiveTutorial: Present in form of the intro sequence where you need to free a locked up monkey. [[TutorialFailure It's not very good at its job]].

* GainaxEnding: The main game concludes with Red Baron. [[spoiler:successfully escaping the blimp]]. The catch? [[spoiler:This involved screwing with the timeline, and him transforming into a drill-shaped object to enter another plane, which was implied to get heavily damaged. We don't get to learn what happens to him afterwards. Instead, the blimp's fate is shown – it catches on fire in 1940.]]

* AnachronismStew: Takes place in the [[TheRoaringTwenties 1920s]]; yet includes skateboards, snowboards, and [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot floating cyborg chimpanzees.]]

* DistantFinale: The post-credits scene takes place in 1940, compared to the main-game's 1937 setting.

* CoolAirship: The setting, true to the game's name. The coolness factor comes from the blimp's confusion structure – it has huge rooms inside of the blimp's ''balloon'', and some of them come off as their own pocket dimensions.
