[edit] Overview

In Banana, you control a mole which digs through dirt collecting various fruits and vegetables. In most levels, the produce must be collected in a specific order, or the player may become stuck and be forced to restart the level. During the levels, the player must also retrieve a female mole. When all objectives are complete, the player must make his way to the exit.

[edit] Gameplay

Among the fruits the player must collect are bananas. These are special fruits which give the player one of four items: a bomb, a ladder segment, a rope, or a rock. The player may use these if he takes a misstep in a level and gets stuck. If a player walks under a rock, that rock shakes. When the player moves out from under the rock, the rock and any rocks on top of it fall. The player cannot die from a falling rock, but he may become stuck if it blocks his exit.

At the end of each level, the number of steps the player took is totalled. This step count negatively affects the total score.
