It’s a good time to go bananas for gamers on Steam. While many gamers are busy out there playing visually stunning games likeCall of Duty,Helldivers 2,Valorant, and more, one game with nothing special in it is making waves on the internet. All they have to do is click what appears on the screen, which is literally a banana.
Interestingly, it is climbing the Steam charts rapidly. At the time of this writing, it has a concurrent user base of 392K and is hanging onto number four withCounter-Strike 2,Dota 2, andPUBG: Battlegrounds, ahead of the game.
Steam Has Been Getting a Lot of Clicks From This
It would likely be a very captivating game for the minions from the popular animated movie,Despicable Me. Players don’t have to do anything but click on a banana and they’ll get more bananas. Gamers won’t run out of potassium it seems, as they’ll have plenty of it now (speaking metaphorically). SteamDBhighlightsshow that the game peaked at 420K players in the past 24 hours.

One of the developers, Hery, explained in aninterviewthat it is actually a copy of a game calledEgg.
Banana, with the own words of the dev theselions, Banana is pretty much a stupid game, a copy of Egg but way worse.
And there’s a variety of them including diamond, gentleman, pickle, and more. There’s even one made of dark matter. Interestingly, people can sell these fruits on the platform’s marketplace. That’s one reason it’s getting more traction, as it has the potential to deliver profits to gamers.
While most of them are simply worth pennies, some of them are valuable too. For instance, oneCrypticnanawas recently sold on the marketplace for over $500. Currently, 4 Crypticnanas cost $780 on the platform.
That Sounds Like the Sister of Cryptocurrencies
However, there’s one issue that many gamers have witnessed in video games, there are too many bots out there. According to Hery, only one-third of users were real when they checked the game last week. The team has since gotten in touch with Valve and hopefully, they’ll get a solution for it soon.

The game will also jog the memory of players regarding an aspect they’ve despised for a long time, non-fungible tokens. Althoughthey’ve compared someCSGOskins to these blockchain-based assetsin the past, many gamers don’t support these digital goods.
The Steam store has certainly been a go-to digital storefront among players. Thankfully, the platform hasn’t incorporated NFTs or gamers’ fury might have proven to be more destructive for it.
