~22. This game is hilarious. Only issue I had was the angle changes and overall gameplay needed to be faster. Lobbing the banana way up and waiting 10 seconds to see where it comes down is funny at first...but gets kinda slow.

Thanks for your kind words. You're right, I could have adjusted gravity and initial speed for a faster game. It's like I set it in debug mode and forgot to change that before releasing. Also I was afraid banana could get light speed and go through buildings and the other gorilla.

Fantastic! 👏
GORILLA.BAS was a staple of my childhood - we played it for hours (and then started learning QBASIC).
You've done a great recreation here - especially considering the limits! 👍

Thanks again! I was wondering what genre could I do next and old good QuickBasic GORILLA.BAS came to my mind. It also brings back nice memories from my childhood.
