Description
In Versus Modes you play against another Player. The goal is to survive as long as possible and eliminate your Opponent. The points you earn in Versus Modes can be used to send Monkeys to the other player. Before the Game starts you have 5 seconds to select two Monkey Species. If your Opponent has no Fruits left, you win the Game. If you win in Ranked Mode, the Score on the Leaderboard is increased by 1 point.

How it works
- 1v1 PvP against another player, online and cross-platform.
- Pick two of the map's three monkey species before the match; spend points to send packs of them to your opponent.
- A new, bigger stock is unlocked every 60 seconds (10 stock tiers).
- Sending a boss costs 25 points; defeating a boss you received gives 10 points.
- Ranked or Casual. In Ranked a win adds 1 point to your Versus leaderboard score; a loss costs 1 point, but only while your score is above 5. Casual matches don't count.
- Each player always uses one ability.
Strategy & tips
- Pick two species whose behaviour your opponent will find hard to handle together.
- Stock gets bigger every 60 seconds. Save points for a big pack or a boss (25 points).
