Introduction

The Great Banana Festival is in danger! Can you help the young monkey, Skid, in saving it?

Built on the classic idea of Sokoban, Soko Banana introduces a bunch of new game elements to add to the challenge. You visit banana warehouses on different islands, and the main goal is to get all the banana crates in each level to the exit, using the environment to your advantage while avoiding any traps and pitfalls.

Features

• A brand new game for the NES, playable on real hardware
• Fun and challenging gameplay mechanics
• 5 different islands – each one with its own distinct feel, with unique graphics, music and environments
• 9 regular and 2 bonus levels for each island (55 levels total)
• Hidden secrets...

Gameplay

Each banana crate can be pushed in any four directions, and will move until it hits something solid. By pushing the crates around the level, the goals is to line them up so that they can be pushed to a free exit target.

When all crates are placed on a target, the level is cleared.

There are 3 bananas to collect in each level, and collecting them all will unlock The Banana Level. Furthermore: in the banana level, a star is hidden somewhere...

Each island introduces a new mechanic, such as pits, breakable blocks and teleporters, to keep the gameplay fresh.
