Every banana here is a real visitor, dancing in perfect sync — same beat, whole planet.

the fine print, in neon

what is this place?

In 1999 I drew a little banana that never stopped dancing. Now it has a club. Every banana on this floor is a real visitor — no bots, no account, no cost. Your banana walks in dressed the way you left it.

The trick the whole place runs on: one beat, and it never stops. Every banana on Earth dances the same beat — same frame, whole planet.

the loop

what do you actually do here?

  • Boogie. Arrow keys, WASD, tap the floor — or hold a beat and drag. Walking is just dancing with direction.
  • Chase what the floor spawns. Jelly, snacks, the lost vinyl, the golden banana — being first is the sport. It all fills the JELLY meter; full = a personal drop.
  • Catch tonight's drop. One wearable a night — walk into it, yours forever. Draw your own and it goes on the Banana Stand's shelf.
  • Fix what breaks. Every half hour something goes wrong, for everyone at once. A quest tool appears, one line says what to do, and fixing it pays jelly and coins.
  • Outlast everyone. 5 minutes opens the stage; 30 earns the glowstick, forever.
  • Make a name. Everything pays into your club LEVEL, 1 to 99 — titles land at the big ones, and the roster shows them in gold.
  • Collect the marks. It all lands on your banana pass. The rave writes your history.

who & what is on the floor

Everything below is the actual pixel art from the club, at actual chunkiness.

Barty, the bartender — banana rave pixel sprite

Barty, the bartender

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.

Jelly drops — banana rave pixel sprite

Jelly drops

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 lost vinyl — banana rave pixel sprite

The lost vinyl

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.

The golden banana — banana rave pixel sprite

The golden banana

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.

Tonight’s drop — banana rave pixel sprite

Tonight’s drop

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.

Happy hour & the specials — banana rave pixel sprite

Happy hour & the specials

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 loose cable — banana rave pixel sprite

The loose cable

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.

Hot sauce — banana rave pixel sprite

Hot sauce

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.

Club snacks — banana rave pixel sprite

Club snacks

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.

The balloon — banana rave pixel sprite

The balloon

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.

The mop & the spillage — banana rave pixel sprite

The mop & the spillage

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.

The jelly boss — banana rave pixel sprite

The jelly boss

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.

The breaker box — banana rave pixel sprite

The breaker box

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.

The glowstick — banana rave pixel sprite

The glowstick

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.

The gold star — banana rave pixel sprite

The gold star

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.

Moon boots — banana rave pixel sprite

Moon boots

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.

The jello cube — banana rave pixel sprite

The jello cube

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.

The sparkler — banana rave pixel sprite

The sparkler

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.

The jelly magnet — banana rave pixel sprite

The jelly magnet

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.

The VHS tape — banana rave pixel sprite

The VHS tape

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.

…and the rest — banana rave pixel sprite

…and the rest

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

the club runs on a clock

Nothing here is random — the whole planet shares one schedule. The lasers, the spotlight, THE DROP, happy hour, the golden banana: everything arrives on its own beat, for everyone at once.

Nobody will tell you the timetable. Stay a while and you'll start to feel it — learning the rhythm is the game.
