Banana Nababa

banana nanaba

Lazrael has finished Banana Nababa (formerly Boss Arena), his boss battling platform game. It’s good! It’s hard, but totally doable, to defeat all of the six bosses.

Most of the bosses have simple patterns, but multiple forms. It can be grueling. This is a good chance to work out your left hand by mashing on the attack button (you know what I’m insinuating). In the game, you can switch back and forth between two weapons – an axe (like the one in Castlevania) and a spear (which flies straight forward).

And if you want to feel really bad about yourself, you can watch Mr. Peckerston beat every boss without getting hit: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (messed up sound in the Level 3 video)

    Great post Derek! Man you must be one of the busiest men alive; do you eat or sleep or are you some kind of creative cyborg sent from the future to entertain and enlighten us?

    This game is delicious. That third boss is really something fierce, though. Im afraid of what comes next.

    Oho, does this game make me feel inadequate! Great fun though!

  4. Chris L said about 4 hours later:

    Those videos work great as cheat sheets. Or at least it helped with the first boss. Swarm boss is killing me so the temptation to watch more videos is strong. God, carpal tunnel is the real enemy here.

    I think that that screenshot made me orgasm just a little in my brain.

    Eh, it’s decent. I would like it more if my character was capable of outrunning a chair. It controls like an old Castlevania game, except worse.

    Isn’t the music ripped from Gremlins for the NES?! Nice pixart though

  8. Data said about 9 hours later:

    Gremlins 2, specifically: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZHOLwFHoOg

  9. Mr Peckerston said about 9 hours later:

    yeah Data, it is. The readme implies that Lazreal downloaded all the music from modarchive.org without realising that ‘nes-grmi.xm’ and ‘nes-grm1.xm’ are covers of NES Gremlins music.

    Mogwai vs Felix the cat.

    Mooaarrrrr…

    I can’t beat the friggin’ Giga Slith. :<

    I SAW HIM GETTING HIT AT THE END OF PLAGUE BEETLE, I KNOW I SAW IT!

    Other than that, a nifty little NES style boss battle game. The different bosses are quite unique from eachother, and it’s fun, and challenging. It didn’t quite push all my buttons, but it’s very good nonetheless.

  13. Mr Peckerston said about 13 hours later:

    Melly it says that on the video description, and he was dead already so it doesn’t count D:<

  14. Xander said about 18 hours later:

    Damn that unbeatabeetle. Damn him to hell!

  15. Melly said about 21 hours later:

    I was just doing a lame attempt at humour. You know, usual blog commenting fair. :)

  16. GreatFox said 1 day later:

    Finally! I beat TEH ALLMIGHT GIGA SLITH!

    …and finished Plague Beetle without getting hit…
