Pretty neat integration with the itch.io page. Could use some music and indicators for where/when enemies are about to spawn so the player doesn't get backstabbed, but apart from that, it's pretty much perfect. Great work!
Good Job on your game! I wish there was some text that explained what the fire banana does as I was confused on what it was actually doing. Also I feel like a good upgrade to have is one that speeds up how fast the banana comes back. Overall I liked how simple and easy it was to just start playing, a good sign of an arcade game. Also how did you get 134 points? The best I got was 111 and that was just pure luck.
Flame Banana, thats hillarious!
I like the game. It's small, cute, very responsive.
Telegraphing enemy appearance from the edge would be good
The roguelike concept is really fun, and the fire mechanic adds a nice layer of strategy since you can position it to take out enemies. The visual effects are great too. I really enjoyed the game the arcade feel is especially satisfying. Great job!
I really enjoy arcade style games, but I had to try this one since it has a Banana as the optional fruit (just like us!) The bananarang is fun to play with, I didn't understand how igniting the banana worked until a bit later, but then I started to understand the flames and how to better positions myself in the center. Appreciate that the "tutorial" is just the controls that you have to press to start and it goes from there where you learn from the gameplay since it's straightforward. Good job Solodev o7
The game makes it easy to create a playing cycle, and it’s quite fun.
An example of how to create a really simple and engaging game! The "Exit" button—a Game Jam classic! =)
