As You Are Not A Banana was my debut game and it has been on Steam for over 2 yrs now it's about time I lowered the price. The Better Edition was designed from the ground up and contains lots of new features and content, including Trading Cards and 25 Steam Achievements.

This unique game is a pretty memorable Steam Gift too.

If you dig the new trailer and the banging techno tune that accompanies it then check out the OST that comes free with the game. Inside you will find that very track kindly provided by German techno maestro Remute.

I've also been patching any bugs you guys find so keep them coming : )

Ps. About 3/4 way through completing You Are Not A Banana: Better Edition and it's coming along nicely - more news soon.

Working on You Are Not A Banana: Better Edition in my spare time (whilst trying to get Mayhem In Single Valley to full production) - new lighting system, save option, dialogue system, improved mini-games, jokes, etc. All improvements are based on the feedback I've received to date. Hope to add achievements and some kind of speed run timer too. Revisiting old code and graphics with new skills is strangely satisfying. It will be available as a major update - so obviously no extra purchase required. May take a few months yet as I am still working alone on all this. ːsteamhappyː

I spent the last few weeks fine tuning my Square Enix Collective pitch[collective.square-enix.com]. I'd love your feedback regarding the game so please vote and let us know what you think and make suggestions.

The pitch contains lots of new exciting images, animations, and information regarding the full game.

We will be posting regular updates on topics such as the game's Current State of Development, Sound Design, 2D Lighting, and Alternative Deaths.

So please check out the pitch[collective.square-enix.com]and vote!

I believe the music and sound design used in a game are as important to your gaming experience as the visuals. I'm giving away three full-length mp3s on IndieDB from the Mayhem In Single Valley demo to give you a taste of what the full soundtrack will have to offer.

The full-length chiptune mp3s are,

Mayhem In Single Valley (5:36 mins)
Banana Split (4:09 mins)
Home of Horrors (5:09 mins)

Happy listening! – Brian ːsteamhappyː

Mayhem In Single Valley DEMO is OUT NOW for Windows, Mac, and Linux on IndieDB. Hope you enjoy. Please support and share this game when/where possible to help it move to full production.
