But it's a pretty cool game. Kudos to you for making animated 3D models!
The, er, "music" gets a bit annoying after a while. The sound effects are fun though.
Not sure what is causing the camera shakes, It happened to me the first few times I tested it in the browser, but stopped at some point. So not sure what is causing it, as it does not happen in the game engine.
The cause of death could be because of the hunger. If your hunger meter is full, you'll start to lose health slowly :-)
My first plans was to have spine movement so the gun points at where you have the mouse, but it was chaotic, and couldn't get it to work properly. So I scratched that idea, as it would have taken too much time to get it to work, as I still hadn't made all mechanics yet at that point. So I went with something simpler :-)
I already made the space a bit bigger, but it wasn't enough I see. It would require too many changes to make it even bigger, because of the way I have made the level. If I had the time I would have done it, but I'm heading to bed now, as I have to get up early for work :-D
Again, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated :-)
@Geckoo1337 Glad you liked it :-D About the space, I would love to make it bigger but I would have to make too many changes because of the way I have set it up :-) I would have done it if I had the time :-)

Dancing Banana Meme in 3...2... The game is fast paced and bouncy. I like the idea of canibalistic bananas and tomatoes and whatnot. Also, I have never platform-shootered with a trio of background dancers. ^^
Dislikes
----------
The controls are a bit fiddly and it's hard to ensure aiming to the right side.

Bananalicious is a really solid first LD entry. Cheers!
Don't ever make eye contact when eating bananas.
Hmm. What if the banana is eating another banana?
@anthony-dunlap My first plans were to make it so you could point in the direction to shoot, but I had a hard time to get it to work with the body of the banana. So I went with something simpler so I wouldn't use up too much time on it. The hunger filling up quick was on purpose, or else it would have made the game too easy, as there's only 10 waves. But I guess it is a little too quick I suppose :-) They became cannibalistic when I made them cannibalistic ;-)
@thygrrr I would have made better aiming, but I went with something simpler for the reasons written above :-)
Good question :-D
Good job, and good luck!
@paul-avallone That's really weird, I haven't had any issues where the controls got stuck or lagged, or any of what you described. I would love to make a much more polished version with different levels and such. But that'll have to wait till I'm done with the current game I'm working on with a friend :-) But when I get the time, I'll probably make a more polished version and put it out to something like newgrounds or anything like it, maybe even itch.io :-D Glad you liked the dancing banana though :-D
