this was a fun game, I like how the bananas could stop the bullets and how they flew curved through the air.

Would have liked it a little more if aiming the bananas was more straight forward.

Aiming was a bit difficult but otherwise really nice game :)

It's a bit confusing to start with and could do with some more SFX and feedback on what is happening. Once I got the aiming sorted I was able to make a little progress - an interesting game.

whatever you took to boost your creativity during your brainstroming session, I want it. Fun little game, original design, psychedelic effects. Well done

I like the idea, but the graphics are highly aliased. The fonts should be a bit more smooth atleast. Good game though.

Pretty fun, great use of the theme.

As for aiming suggestions, maybe have the aim follow the mouse cursor? I think that might be a lot easier.

that won't work because the bananas are always turning direction. so if i aim at a banana it will miss the target completely.
and no i'm not removing the turning.

Neat game, funny concept! I included it in part 1 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/-ZkAqIe6FiQ

That was trippy. Simple, but enjoyable. Having the floor at different angel was a good design choice.

Controls were probably my biggest issue. As for a suggestion, I'd say use the mouse, but not like cross-hairs. Perhaps hide the cursor, and make character's arm range from 180-360 Degrees (360 is facing right)depending on the mouse's X coordinate. For example, if the screen is 200 pixels wide, set the arm angle to:
180 + (mouse.x/200)*180)

Ha! There's so many banana! This game is very funny and innovative. Especially I love the bgm, but the sfx is a little squeaky.

Sorry I misunderstood, that bgm is from another game in different tab of my browser. :P

Oh god NO. NOT THE BANANAS.
Fun little game, although I also had trouble with the aiming. But fun nonetheless :)

Impossible to play on macbook air since you cant hold right click on touchpad and left click at the same time...

I think something has crashed. Not scored - the 3 bananas in the middle were rotating together and they were spawning hundreds of red squares that spiraled off the screen. Eye catching, but I suspect not what was intended! Played in Chrome.

No that was intended @colludium

I love bananas and danmakus so I enjoy the concept :p
But concerning the controls, it would be easier to shoot in the direction of the mouse directly, no ?
