Banana for Scale

[The game might open in a new window and will take a while to load. After blocks started spawning (you'll know), please wait until they are done moving. The lagging will stop]

The banana wizard Banu was on his way home from vacation when the portal malfunctioned, scattering his belongings throughout a child's playroom. Collect your keepsakes before continuing on your way.

Using Banu’s banana staff, you can alter his size to match whatever banana you can find. Use the different sizes to find your way through this mess! But beware, the floor is littered with sugar, and ants have found their home in the playground. They seem quite territorial, so you better not let them get too close.

Help Banu gather his scattered belongings and make your way out of this messy room.

Collect everything to unlock a big surprise!

[Giant bananas are especially powerful as they allow you to push blocks, so that state lasts only a few seconds]

[If you really don't like ants, you can turn them into something else]

Unfinished Implementations

• The ants are supposed to spawn in your current size after you have been the same size for too long, up to a maximum of ants over the entire map. They are supposed to then hunt the character when he is in their size and do damage. It’s still very buggy. The intention behind this is to force the player to change sizes a lot
• Each size has different perks. Tiny (size 1) allows you to sneak through gaps but not jump high enough to reach blocks, Medium allows you to jump up blocks and fit through some gaps, Large gives you more overview and only Giant allows you to burst through blocks for a while to create new paths and uncover hidden collectibles
