Donkey Kong Banana Barrage Overview
Donkey Kong Banana Barrage was one of those simple Flash games you'd find in the mid-2000s. It didn't try to be a big console release. It was just a quick, straightforward take on the character, made for a browser during that era when Flash was everywhere. You loaded it up, and there was Donkey Kong, ready to throw fruit.
You control Donkey Kong himself. The moment to moment play is all about timing and aim. Your goal is to toss bananas into moving barrels that scroll across the screen. You use the arrow keys to adjust your angle, and the spacebar to throw. Holding the spacebar longer increases the power of your throw, which you need to account for the distance. The barrels appear for only a short time, so you have to act quickly. The pace picks up as you go, and missing too many throws ends the game. It feels like a test of simple, repetitive coordination more than anything else.
