Banana Game updates

Official website

Language selection, refreshed icons and a clearer play button

• Added Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Russian, Vietnamese, and Filipino articles alongside Korean and English. The language selector keeps the current article and remembers the choice.
• Cleaned up the icon's outer corners while preserving its banana artwork, thick circular border and radial gradients.
• Unified the site logo, browser tab and install icons with the latest approved icon.
• Made browser play buttons larger and red so they are easier to find.
• Expanded the privacy policy to cover native rankings, platform accounts, planned Android ads and purchases, consent and deletion requests.

This changes the website, not the game rules or installed Android and Steam applications.

Player resources

Clearer rules, real board examples, and official store links

• Added a 3,717-point board walkthrough that explains exposed matches, blocked routes, and planning for the next kiwi.
• Clarified why a pair can merge before a larger special recipe forms, and added the complete token refill table.
• Corrected screenshot descriptions and illustrated the collision article with the actual banana sprite.
• Fixed article play buttons and added links to Google Play and the Steam wishlist page.

This is a website-content update. The browser game itself remains v1.0.2.

Official website

Separated the game from the player resource site

• Changed the main address into a content-first official page with an original gameplay overview, strategy explanations, current build information, and direct access to every player resource.
• Moved the playable browser build to /play so loading and gameplay no longer hide the site navigation or the published guides.
• Kept advertising code off the dedicated game screen and limited it to substantive editorial pages.
• Updated canonical links, sitemap dates, navigation labels, and game metadata so search crawlers can distinguish the official site from the playable application.

Website resources

Published first-hand player and design notes

• Added a full strategy guide for landing lanes, connected banana recipes, shake-token timing, and red-line recovery.
• Published development notes explaining the curved banana collision, crowded-board stability goals, automatic merge cleanup, and cross-platform portrait layout.
• Added a readable game overview and connected it to the guide, strategy, support, and policy pages.
• Expanded navigation so player guides, development information, policies, and support are reachable without opening the game.

Current build

Mobile and release preparation

• Locked the Android game layout to portrait and corrected safe-area handling for tall phone screens.
• Expanded mobile touch targets for pause, mute, ad-removal, movement, shake, and fast-drop controls without changing the visible button art.
• Updated the application icon and prepared Android and Windows store packages for private testing.
• Added an online leaderboard service with all-time, daily, weekly, and monthly views. The browser build displays rankings in read-only mode.
• Unified the web startup presentation around the Mainu Studio loader and corrected its loading-step animation.
• Continued physics and performance work for crowded boards, merge cleanup, wall contact, and large fruit stacks.

Gameplay foundation

The first complete Banana Game ruleset

• Established the blueberry-to-watermelon merge chain and banana-focused special recipes.
• Changed merging to happen automatically when matching fruit touch.
• Added the Golden Banana, its sparkle treatment, and the two-Golden-Banana disappearance rule.
• Added shake tokens, the red-line game-over warning, score and high-score displays, next-fruit preview, and game-over results.
• Added touch, mouse, keyboard, and gamepad controls plus multilingual menus and help pages.
