Bananoid

Imagine Breakout went on vacation, met a banana, and came back with a weird tropical cousin—that’s Bananoid. Developed by Banana Development in 1991, it’s the kind of game that looks simple enough: move the paddle, bounce the ball, break the bricks. But then it pulls the rug from under you with odd power-ups, unexpected difficulty spikes, and the constant fear of losing track of the ball while your fruit-themed ego is on the line. It’s goofy, a little clunky, and very 90s. But hey, smashing digital blocks has never felt quite this… potassium-rich.
