Have you ever wondered what makes this game so popular? Is there a secret remedy that makes people go crazy about the banana game? Well, I was very curious and I downloaded the game so let me tell you everything about it.
What is the Banana game?
Banana is a clicker game released on 23 April 2024. It was developed by: AestheticSpartan, Sky, O’Brian, and Pony, and published by: Sky.
The game consists of a banana and a counter that counts your clicks. And that’s it, yes I know I was shocked too! You click the banana and earn more bananas after some time.
The Banana game is heavily influenced by an earlier clicker game titled Egg.
What is a Clicker Game?
A clicker game a.k.a. idle game, is a video game whose gameplay is quite minimal and consists of the player performing simple actions such as clicking on the screen repeatedly and watching numbers go up.
With this type of gameplay, the player accumulates points or earns an in-game currency which can be used to buy more in-game stuff.
In some idle/clicker games, clicking is no longer needed after some time, as the game plays itself.
Gameplay
Banana’s gameplay is pretty simple and minimal. You get a banana and you click on it!
Every three hours you will get common banana drops/rewards which you can sell on Steam Marketplace. But if you are looking to get rarer bananas, these can be obtained after eighteen hours in-game.
The bananas, like items in other games released through Steam, can be bought and sold on the Steam Marketplace.
Bonus info:
You will unlock the “Click” achievement when you play the game for one minute.
Steam Marketplace
As mentioned earlier, the bananas you earn while clicking your banana are items you can actually sell on Steam Marketplace.
Most of them are listed for 1 cent but there are rare ones that are being sold for US$300, US$500, and even more!
An item titled the Special Golden Banana sold on the Steam Marketplace for US$1,378.58, the highest recorded sale price of any item in the game!!!
Steam Charts
Banana is on the top 10 games list of Steam Charts. Holding the 7th place as of today, Banana is a very popular game, that since its release has been on this list and the only thing that changes is its position.
Banana is a very popular game and even if it has lost quite a bit of its first glory, it is still breaking the charts.
With almost 200.000 average players and 430.000 on peak time, it is only fair for someone to wonder why or how this game can make that happen when other games, with great storylines and amazing graphics, can’t hit these numbers.
Why is it popular?
Banana’s popularity is based on the bananas’ value. Even if they are worth pennies, people love selling their bananas, because they can spend their earnings on the Steam Marketplace.
Rarer bananas are selling for more than a hundred bucks, and some bananas can be sold for thousands of US dollars.
So it’s crystal clear why this game became so popular from day one.
Conclusion
Banana is a very basic game that has nothing special to offer you unless you want to gain and sell bananas for real money. It is really fascinating to see how many people are actually giving Banana a try.
Some of them got very lucky as they managed to sell their bananas at a great price! Have you tried to play Banana? How did you like the game? Let me know in the comments section below.
