About Top Banana

The planet is threatened by man-made environmental threats - rainforest deforestation, nuclear waste, and climate change. A girl named KT seeks to address the world's environmental issues by spreading love. By stopping threats with love, enemies are transformed into fruit - through these world-saving efforts, KT may gain ultimate wisdom and the title of "Top Banana".

Top Banana is a vertically scrolling platformer with the goal of each level being to reach the top of the level. The player takes the role of KT, and must travel through psychedelic levels while jumping across platforms and throwing hearts to convert planet-damaging enemies into fruit. Enemies include chainsaws, bulldozers, businessmen, and soda cans. The game has a time limit in the form of water that damages the player rising from the bottom of the level over time. Fruit that the player may collect throughout the game awards points, and the player may place in the high score table if enough points are collected.

Top Banana has four stages: the Rain Forest, the Metal-City, the Temple, and the Mind-Scape. Some items have negative effects when walked into and are hazards to be avoided - they cause negative effects such as slowed movement, reversing the game's controls, as well as inverting the colors of the level's graphics for several seconds. Upon taking damage, the player phases through the platforms they are on for several seconds, causing the player to lose progress.
