Jumping Bananas

Jumping Bananas was one of those simple, straightforward games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be anything more than a quick distraction, the kind of thing you'd play for a few minutes between other tasks. The visuals were basic, with clear shapes and bright colors that loaded almost instantly in your browser window.

You control a small, blocky character, likely a monkey, moving left and right across platforms. Your goal is to collect every banana scattered across the level while avoiding enemies that patrol the area. The controls are minimal: arrow keys to run and the spacebar to jump. The challenge comes from timing your leaps over gaps and steering clear of the roaming hazards. The game moves at a steady clip, and a single mistake often sends you back to the start of the stage. It feels like a test of patience and precision more than anything else.
