Philosophical questions aside, what does Banana’s gameplay consist of? Simple: once the game is started, you have to click on the banana in the center of the screen to make a counter grow. When you are satisfied with the number reached, you close the game and restart it after a few hours to unlock items that can be sold on the Steam market for a few pennies.
