BANANABOBLY is the latest craze in the world of mobile apps. It’s a game that’s available on both iOS and android devices. The developers are claiming a lot of success and big bucks from it, however I haven’t been able to find any solid proof of this so I’m just going off the top of my head. If you’re interested though I suggest you go check out the app’s website for yourself.
This game is designed to help people with various communication, developmental, cognitive, and memory problems. However I wasn’t able to find any evidence to prove this. But if this is true, then that’s great news for parents of children with these conditions.
BANANABE consists of a memory game, a grammar and spelling game, and an observation and planning game. The language is fairly easy to learn and you can even modify the speech sounds of the characters using a dictionary. Once you’ve learned the English language, you’ll be able to converse in it with ease. However I can’t quite figure out how good the graphics are. It might just be a matter of taste, but for me, the graphics of BANANABE didn’t really impress me too much.
The mechanics of the game is also very easy to understand. There are several levels and once you’ve played all the way to the end, you will unlock the last one which is a harder version of the previous levels. You basically have two options when deciding on which level you want to play on. You can either start from scratch or choose the current level.
When playing on the current level you basically have two choices. Either click on the bubbles like you would in a bubble browser game or you can click on a special square called the line. Clicking on the line moves you forward or backwards in BANANA BUDGE.
When playing on a previous level, you basically have to repeat the same actions as in the current level. However the order in which you make these actions is not important. As long as you line up your bubbles correctly and release them when you’re ready, you can earn points and ultimately reach the goal. And of course, the goal is to earn as much money as possible.
Banners are used to mark a point in the game. Different banners have different effects, depending on the color scheme used. I for example used red, yellow and green for my score. That way, when someone clicks on my bubble I’m colored like a character from the animated cartoon. It’s a great little touch that I really enjoyed.
For those of you who haven’t played BANANA BUDGE, it’s a puzzle-style game where you need to drag and drop icons on a certain pattern to make a square where a number jumps. There are several difficulty levels, ranging from easy to tricky. The controls are simple: all you have to do is stick your mouse to the screen. Once your bubble is out, the icon is red, and you need to drag it to make a line between two pieces. Continue in this fashion until you either hit a wall or something stops you.
As I mentioned earlier, BANANA BUDGE is like many of the other apps out there. It’s fun and educational at the same time. You learn a lot about spatial relationships, for one. When you play games like these, you begin to learn what the tiles mean. In addition, you develop a certain skill for yourself, whether it be drawing or cooking. It can also help you with math skills if you happen to dislike algebra.
One of the coolest things about BANANA BUDGE is the way the game is designed to keep you entertained. You’ll see icons appear on screen and then when you click on them you move to the next icon. It’s a nice little mechanic that keeps you interested. If you happen to get stuck, there is a help function that will pop up. It is quite thorough and helps you get over some of the more basic hurdles.
Overall, BANANA BUDGE is an enjoyable app. It is entertaining and educational at the same time. It is neat to have in your app, because it adds a little bit of randomness to the game. However, it is not as deep as some of the other apps out there so don’t expect a big history lesson here.
