Every banana here is a real visitor, dancing in perfect sync — same beat, whole planet.
the fine print, in neon
In 1999 I drew a little banana that never stopped dancing. Twenty-seven years later, it has a club. Every banana on this floor is a real visitor — no bots, no fakes. The only characters who aren't guests are staff: Barty behind the bar and tonight's DJ in the booth. They have jobs.
And here's the trick the whole place runs on: there is only one song, and it never stops. Every banana on Earth dances on the same beat — open the rave on your phone and your laptop and watch them match, frame for frame. Same beat, whole planet.
No account. No cost. Your banana walks in dressed the way you left it in the builder, or a fresh one is generated at the door.
the loop
field guide
Everything below is the actual pixel art from the club, at actual chunkiness.
Runs the bar, never sleeps. Calls HAPPY HOUR every 5th minute (first banana to the counter wins the beer) and mixes specials in between. And when something goes wrong on his floor — a spillage, a blackout, something loose from the walk-in — he’s the first to yell about it. Help him out. He pays in jelly and coins.
It rains jelly on this floor — watch it fall from the rig, land with a wobble, and wait. Hoover it up to fill the JELLY meter; when she’s full, you know what time it is: your own personal drop, spent whenever you like.
The DJ keeps losing records. Every 7 minutes one lands somewhere on the floor — carry it back to the booth and the whole club gets a bonus drop, courtesy of you.
Every half hour, once, somewhere: the golden one. The finder gets the trophy in their hand and “The Golden One” badge on their pass — and for the whole floor, it rains golden bananas.
Once a night the club drops ONE wearable. It floats through with a NEW tag every few minutes — walk into it and it’s yours forever, worn on the spot for the whole floor to see. And here’s the thing: some of these were drawn by visitors. Catch one and a real person’s name rides your outfit.
Every 5th minute Barty yells and pours ONE beer — first banana to the counter carries it for all to see. Between happy hours: rotating specials. The daiquiri gives you disco legs, the milkshake goes straight to the hips, and the water… the water takes EVERYTHING off. Barty insists.
The rig’s wiring is older than Barty (nothing is older than Barty). Grab the live end to tidy the hazard — you’ll shock-blink like a cartoon, and brushing past friends zaps them too.
A bottle of the house burner lands on the floor every few minutes. Drink it and your footsteps catch fire for a while. Completely safe. Probably.
The conveyor drops something chaseable every ~75 seconds. Grab a slice and your banana holds it high; the whole box rides the other glove (and pays a meal of jelly). Candy? A sugar rush — you’ll shake it off. Literally.
Catch it and up you go: sealed inside, frozen mid-pose, drifting over the floor faster than anyone can dance. It deflates after a minute. Gravity is a rule, not a law.
Every so often, drinks hit the floor — five puddles, and every banana who crosses one slips. The mop waits on Barty’s counter: grab it, stand on a puddle, hit the 🧹 button that appears by your emotes. A spotless floor pays jelly, coins, and Barty’s eternal respect. Back by popular demand — literally, someone wrote in.
Sometimes the thing that escapes the walk-in is… big. It drops in from above the rig, bounces around the floor bumping bananas aside, and SPLITS when a dancer runs it down — one big, to three, to nine little ones sprinting for the corners. Pop them all. The floor ends up sticky with victory.
When the power cuts out — and it does — the whole club goes dark: the LED to static, the beams off, the DJ a silhouette. One thing stays lit: the breaker box in the top-right corner. Get there and FLIP it till the lights slam back on. Every flip throws sparks.
Survive 30 minutes on the floor and the neon glowstick is yours forever — it pumps with the beat in your banana’s glove, here and in the builder.
Grab it and THE ENTOURAGE arrives: two copies of you replaying your every step, half a beat behind. A conga line of yourself. Stop moving and they walk right into you.
One small step for banana. Big lunar hops with a proper squash on every landing — fifteen seconds of low gravity on a crowded dance floor.
Eat the wobble, become the wobble: your whole banana goes jelly-legged, wobbling from the feet up. On this floor, that’s practically a religious experience.
Write your name on the night. A white-hot ribbon of light follows wherever you walk, spitting golden sparks as it burns out behind you.
For twelve seconds the floor’s jelly wants YOU — every loose drop slides across the boards straight into your banana, and fresh jelly keeps raining. Pure harvest.
Tracking error. Your banana glitches like a tape that’s been rewound one time too many — slices shear sideways, a white band rolls through, then it recovers. Then it doesn’t.
Many other items and drinks turn up when they feel like it — mirror shards, lost phones, ice cubes, things Barty won’t put on the menu. Hang around and see. They don’t wait long: five seconds, then poof.
the rhythm
Nothing here is random — the whole planet shares one schedule. Stay long enough and you'll feel it:
the usual questions
Yes. Every banana is a real visitor, right now. When the floor is quiet, that's honesty, not failure — bring a friend.
One song, one wall clock, every banana on Earth on the same beat. It's the oldest trick in the club and it never misses.
Because the music never does. One song, one wall clock — it was playing before you arrived and it'll play after you leave. And every half hour something on the floor breaks, just to keep the staff honest.
Every half hour, something goes wrong: puddles hit the floor, the power dies, a mega-jelly escapes the walk-in, the balloon rig lets go — or the big screen turns into a camera and puts whoever's standing in frame up on the wall for the whole hour. A quest tool appears by your emote buttons, a hint above them tells you what to do, and finishing pays jelly and bananacoins. Same quest, same moment, for everyone in the club — and never the same one twice in a row.
The gauge of the night. Jelly drops, snacks, the spotlight, surviving drops — it all fills it. Full meter = it starts flashing, and tapping it drops the floor — just for you.
Your standing at the club, 1 to 99 — the gold bar under the JELLY meter. Every jelly and pickup pays into it, it syncs across your devices with your pass, and it never goes down. Titles land at the big levels, and the floor roster shows them in gold — the room knows who's a regular.
People draw them. Anyone can open the Items Workshop, draw an item right on the banana — a hat, a sword, a rubber duck — and submit it to the club. The banana guy approves the good ones, and then they drop here with the maker's name riding them. Make it. The club drops it. Someone catches it. Your name rides it.
Everything. Badges and stats live on your pass, and earned gear like the glowstick follows your banana into the builder and everywhere else it goes.
