A nice shooting game. Platforming and shooting controls are very good. The only suggestion I have is to make the level slightly spacious so that the banana can leap further from platform to platform without banging it's head. Great Work !!
I'm terrible at this :(
But it's a pretty cool game. Kudos to you for making animated 3D models! The, er, "music" gets a bit annoying after a while. The sound effects are fun though.
Yeah I would have made better music, but it was complicated :-) But without something to play in the background, it just feels kind of dull :-) I could make a mute music button though :-)
Just added a mute button and a bit more space in some places :-)
Weird and fun. Really good game which fits perfectly with the theme. I love the banana animation at start. The gameplay works well and it is hard as expected. I would like to be free to move in a larger space so as to avoid enemies. I had fun playing Bananalicious. Thank you fellow ++
The camera shakes around way too much.I died twice not knowing what killed me, so damage feedback would also benefit from improvements. I feel the gameplay is also very restrictive, with limited space and only left or right shooting.
@Kobrar Thanks for feedback :-)
Not sure what is causing the camera shakes, It happened to me the first few times I tested it in the browser, but stopped at some point. So not sure what is causing it, as it does not happen in the game engine. The cause of death could be because of the hunger. If your hunger meter is full, you'll start to lose health slowly :-)
My first plans was to have spine movement so the gun points at where you have the mouse, but it was chaotic, and couldn't get it to work properly. So I scratched that idea, as it would have taken too much time to get it to work, as I still hadn't made all mechanics yet at that point. So I went with something simpler :-)
I already made the space a bit bigger, but it wasn't enough I see. It would require too many changes to make it even bigger, because of the way I have made the level. If I had the time I would have done it, but I'm heading to bed now, as I have to get up early for work :-D
Again, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated :-)
@Geckoo1337 Glad you liked it :-D About the space, I would love to make it bigger but I would have to make too many changes because of the way I have set it up :-) I would have done it if I had the time :-)
I like the music :banana: :musical_score: !
Interesting concept. It is slightly annoying that I cant shoot and run away at the same time, and hunger fills up pretty quickly, making it a hard game. And since when were bananas cannibalistic?
Likes ----------- Dancing Banana Meme in 3...2... The game is fast paced and bouncy. I like the idea of canibalistic bananas and tomatoes and whatnot. Also, I have never platform-shootered with a trio of background dancers. ^^
Dislikes ---------- The controls are a bit fiddly and it's hard to ensure aiming to the right side.
Gist ---------- Bananalicious is a really solid first LD entry. Cheers!
Don't ever make eye contact when eating bananas.
Hmm. What if the banana is eating another banana?
That was really nice!
Thanks for commenting and giving some feedback :-)
@anthony-dunlap My first plans were to make it so you could point in the direction to shoot, but I had a hard time to get it to work with the body of the banana. So I went with something simpler so I wouldn't use up too much time on it. The hunger filling up quick was on purpose, or else it would have made the game too easy, as there's only 10 waves. But I guess it is a little too quick I suppose :-) They became cannibalistic when I made them cannibalistic ;-)
@thygrrr I would have made better aiming, but I went with something simpler for the reasons written above :-) Good question :-D
Other bananas always kill me! I can't jump up, it might be just because of I am a lame player... :P I did manage to kill one and eat it.
@starlin Everyone is your enemy, even bananas :-) You can jump higher if you hold the jump button. You can use W or Space to jump :-)
Needs more cowbell! Got a highscore of 690, not sure how that compares lol. I liked eating them for extra points and health. AI felt really smooth and well done. I had a bunch of fun playing this fruit pandemonium.
well, that's kinda disturbing
Good job! Hilarious concept! It is rather creepy though. I know what to call this! Bananabalism! Anyway, the art and animation is pretty darn good, and it's fun to play!
Good job, and good luck!
Banana who has gun that shoot tomatoes, best game ever :D First it did feel weird to shoot with mouse even though you can't aim with it. And the munching sound was annoying :P But yeah, still fun game to play.
I love the dancing banana in the menu. Eating the other fruit to regain health is kinda funny. The controls got stuck/lagged a lot so it was shooting when I wasn't clicking and forcing me to walk in a direction I wasn't pressing. If you expand upon the game I would love different maps.
Thanks everyone for commenting and giving feedback :-)
@paul-avallone That's really weird, I haven't had any issues where the controls got stuck or lagged, or any of what you described. I would love to make a much more polished version with different levels and such. But that'll have to wait till I'm done with the current game I'm working on with a friend :-) But when I get the time, I'll probably make a more polished version and put it out to something like newgrounds or anything like it, maybe even itch.io :-D Glad you liked the dancing banana though :-D
I love the dancing banana on the menu!
