This has to be one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen with stunning graphics and a compelling storyline with twists at every turn, With vast gameplay options such as: Playing as a human and my personal favorite playing as a banana. 10/10 would reccomend to anyone who likes Beautiful story driven games!
Nice and fun little quest. Really, too short. But arty. Surprising and easy. Definitely worth it, if you have a free minute for something strange.
Nice exprimental little game, if you can get it as part of some cheap bundle go for it - but unless you are fan of this kind of short experiences, you can get more out of 1 dolar somewhere else. And I finished it on a first try!
After the initial confusion of being stuck on the title screen, it was an odd, charming, little game. More entertaining than I expected for the pennies that it cost. Stupid yet intriguing story and enough achievements to look for to give you something to do once you've finished it considering it's short.
Fun little game. Wish it had native controller support.
I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

You are not Banana つまり、あなたはバナナでは無いという意味だ そこで君はどう思うだろう 「自分はバナナではないのか?」 「それとも、本当はバナナなのか?」 生まれてから君はバナナではない、と言われたことは無いのではないだろうか 今、改めて考えて欲しい。君は本当にバナナではないのか。 このゲームをプレイすると君は無自覚のうちに自分はバナナだと認めていることに気づくだろう。 しかし、最後には君はバナナではないということをこのゲームは君に教えてくれる。 君は君のままでいい。人の波に呑まれ、アイデンティティを失っている君が求めるものがここにある。
Trip to buy milk literally turns bananas (The Banana version of Postal 2). ____________________________ Do Not play this game if: - Your time is precious - You want a game with some sense and an interesting story Play this game if: - You want to see a banana eat cereals - You want a short game with lots of humor and great music - You want to support something that Could be great Verdict: 5/10
Well, it was sort of ok (for the price)... but I was missing a "punchline" to the story, like finish of some joke, or explanation or moral of the story or anything. Mayb was expecting a bit too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but for me game is lacking without it.
