The Banana Eater by Dizzyman572

[raw]
made by Dizzyman572 for LD33 (COMPO)
Go on a rampage as an angry gorilla who eats sentient bananas!

This game was created for Ludum Dare 33 under the theme: You are the Monster.
It was my first time making a game for this competition and I'm proud to deliver what I can consider atleast a decent game.

I hope you enjoy my game and please let me know what you think of it, I'd like to know if there is anything I can improve upon for the next Ludum Dare.

You have the voice of a thousand angels. I had a good laugh as soon as I hit the title screen! The art is simple but unified. I think it works really well, especially to help the golden bananas stand out.

And at the end, F to fart? Boy, I'll have you know that many have outgrown that s- TEN OUTTA TENNN

The music cracked me up so badly. Love how black , white and some occasional yellow can make a great game with an awesome feel. Guess you are a banana kind of guy. Awesome and fun

The eating animation is a bit too long, which makes it really tedious to eat bananas and since there's no real point in doing so, you most the time won't. Love the audio though

The Music is really nice. Simply but good graphics. Some Little Bugs: Bathtube has a black border and you don't see the player behind the Bathtube and you slide on the yellow Banana. good job.

The gameplay gets repetitive and the eating animation gets annoying when you have to restart levels multiple times.

However, The graphics and sounds (they're amazing) make the experience enjoyable anyway. It was really fun, good job on the entry !

Very fun game! I like different types of banana citizens.

I made videos of me playing LD entries: http://youtu.be/6Al6aF0oETA

First of all, the music is genius. I was laughing out loud before I even started! Then I got into the gameplay, which is equally humorous. The crude graphics match the audio perfectly, and the level design is great. The movement could be a bit more polished, but overall, a great entry. 4/5

My favorite part of the music was when you took a breath. It made it so relatable and I think exemplifies the spirit of Ludum Dare (making something from top to bottom within the time). Nicely done all around.

This music, these sound effects, these graphics just the entire thing. I sent the link to this to a few of my friends because of how amazing I thought this was. You have done a fantastic job with this. Any chance of a OST release? ;)

Thanks Shaw, I really appreciate that! There's already some audio files on the gamejolt page, but I'll get to work on a official release. :)

So this is what it feels like to be the SkiFree Yeti. And there's not an F key in sight. :3 (Though those dart-shooting guards are equally maddening!)

The soundtrack and SFX were hilarious. I'm glad I waited until the end of the victory jingle and caught the city-shaking burp. XD

Also I love how bananas leave giant peels behind when you eat them. And the guards' peels still have little caps on. Oddly satisfying hunting down those smug golden bananas and eating them as well.

Incredible XD Is it me or does the music get more intense as the game progresses?

I found the background "music" disturbingly funny. Like the names to such as 'potassium park'. Would have been badass if the banana sat chilling in his hammock smoking a fat cigar instead of walking around.

I love the audio and the little details! My only complaint is that it's too easy to accidentally trigger the exit.

That was actually really cool. The music is funny and the atmosphere is humorous. The theme could show a bit more though

This was great, thought the minimalist use of colour with the black, white and yellow worked really well. Level layout also worked really well in guiding the player along without feeling like you're being to forced along the path. That music has also been my favourite so far. Right from the title screen it set a nice playful mood.

@mubox Really?, you're the only one whose reported a bug like that. Try running the game again and if it happens again let me know. I'd like to trouble shoot this.

Nice game dude, like the monochromatic art style.

Couldn't make my mind up about the audio, at first I found it amusing, then annoying, then really annoying, then amusing again, then suspenseful, then annoying again. Argghh, one thing's for sure, it's unique :)

Funny, well made game! I included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/WVNLcoTqal4

Awesome audio XD! Art is great (although the bananas look like strawberry to me ^^; ), and very fun to play! The first time I beat it I didn't get all the bananas, and it was written "The End ?" so I thought "Maybe there is another ending if I get all of them!", but got the same ending xp
Anyway great entry!

Oh I got this weird bug where if the dart would hit me right after landing it wouldn't kill me. I think it was on the last stage...

Gorgeous soundtrack :)

Liked the missiles etc. Actually found myself running back into them on occasion, they move so slow.

You really needed to put a link to the game in your recent post to the front page -- I couldn't find it ;)
