UP OR SPACE TO FLY AND LEFT OR RIGHT TO MOVE HORIZONTALLY!

GO THROUGH A LONG TUNNEL AND DODGE LAZORS AND BLOCKS.

COLLECT BANANAS FOR SCORE AND HEARTS FOR LIVES AND SCORE!

YOUR PRIORITY IS BANANAS; THEY AFFECT YOUR SCORE MORE, HEHE, SCORE-MORE.

P.S: IF YOU DON'T COLLECT THE GOD-DAMNED BANANAS YOU'LL SCORE A LOT LESS THAN YOU COULD WITH THE GOD-DAMNED BANANAS. THE SCORE FORMULA IS DISTANCE_TRAVELLED^2 / (BANANAS/TOTAL_BANANAS) + HEARTS_COLLECTED * 50

Overall a pretty fun game. It would be nice if it didn't throw you directly into the action, though, so that you could get used to the controls first.

Fun game! Had to get into the hang of it at first. It seems a lot easier if you don't go for anything and just concentrate on staying alive... not enough desire for bananas.

Fun little frantic game. I liked the look of it especially - pretty ufo, and the animation never felt janky.

Aside from the lack of sound and the fact that pickups occasionally appear to spawn in an impossible to reach spot, this is a reasonably alright game.

This is a great LD game! The gameplay is simple but the mechanics make it challenging enough to require some skill. Plus the graphics are simple but appealing. Good work!

I got stuck under a block and lost all my lives instantly the first time I played, that felt pretty lame, I would destroy all blocks on screen or make you a ghost for a second.

What happens when you fill the green bar all the way!? TWICE I died right before it was full. ARGH

Fun game though, would really benefit from sound/music.

The controls are satisfying and frustrating at the same time.

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Also the game is "finished" when you fill the bar completely but that doesn't have any other effect (such as increased score etc.)

you get 5 stars for humor just for that description. :P

That's really hard p_p

I got to the top, but I couldn't see the message because I was taping space to not die and it started the game over.

That's really hard.

I like the frantic gameplay. You really have to keep cool head or you die. The graphics are clean and minimal. Very nice overall.

Music/Sounds would be great. Works (with up arrow, space was not accurate enough), but a higher display would be great, because the time is often too short to get your bananas.

Your banana computation sold it for me sir! Good job!

Good game. It would be nice to have some kind of ending screen when the bar filled up 100%, showing total score or so.

I might have clicked through one but I'm not sure because the game just restarted when it finished.

Except for a few bananas poping in the wall, it's good

Cool idea, I really like the graphics style as well. However, I really missed sfx and the controls didn't feel good at all.

Wow, really sorry for the lack of end screen. It ended up being a > rather than >= in the code!
ThirteenWB29 Apr 2013, 16:28
Was a good game but would be nice to have some kind of introductory level even if it was just slightly slower, I found myself dying almost instantly the first time I played it.
Like the idea of collecting bananas, and gameplay was fun once you got the hang of it. Good job :)

I'm offended that the game places the blame directly on me for dying. I think whoever put those electric fields there bears at least some of the responsibility.

You are the one that keeps hitting them, not the guy who put them there !!!!SOLELY FOR YOUR SAFETY!!!!

WHY WOULD ALIENS NEED BANANAS SO UNREALISTIC
Quarry
Quarryauthor29 Apr 2013, 19:06
BUT IT'S SO MINIMALIST, CONSIDER THAT!
egos29 Apr 2013, 19:13
nice game and polishing but its not minimalist its simplist

Fun little game :)

This is a pretty nice take on one-button games.

I had fun even though it can be really difficult. Cool graphics :).
