Players only need to tap or click in the idle clicker game banana game in order to gather golden bananas. At first, you'll have to pick the bananas by hand, but you can eventually get the system to gather bananas automatically, even when you're not playing. Extending the banana empire while finding special upgrades and tools to boost output is the aim of the game. The game can be played to unwind and is mildly entertaining.
