Multiplayer Mode Explained

Hi, Marco here, one of the devs of Banana For Scale. Today I want to clarify how the Multiplayer Mode works!

If you have watched the back of the Environment of BFS maybe you spotted a Flying Pineapple: that's the External Camera!

So another player can watch your action on the screen of the PC: this is the Spectator mode, where you can watch your friend stats, in the corner you can see the same screen that is positioned on the Tube in VR

And then there is the Multiplayer mode. If you click with the left mouse button on the Icon or press the “ M ” button on the Keyboard you will change screen.

If you press “ M ” again or the Icon with the left mouse button you will start the Multiplayer mode!

Important: you will NOT stop the actual play session in VR until you choose the objects, so don’t worry about your friend!

Now you can

1. choose as much as objects you want

2. The scale of the object, from 1 to 50 bananas

3. The Amount of max Retry that the VR player can do

4. Mind the Time amount, is based on the objects scale!

5. And then press on “confirm”

If you are ready press “ yep ” otherwise press “nope” if you change your mind. If you press “ Yep ” the session of the VR player will be stopped and the TV on the Tube will start Ringing.

On the Screen, the VR player will see some information on the upcoming Multiplayer Session, the amount of objects, the max time and retries

If he like the offer will press the Green Button and play against you, else, if he want to continue the previous session the VR player will press the Red Button and continue to play in single player mode or training mode.

The other side of the Tube

You have two options to make sure that the VR player loose against you:

You can watch directly in the camera and choose to use one of the Cool Down buttons (close the tube, close the dispenser, change the object scale on the fly)

or you can use the Banana Juice to deal more damage.

Every Banana that the Player in VR throws into the tube will be spawned in the PC player screen. Malus are random, so you have to choose how much Banana Juice you want to produce.

Every Malus have different effects:

• A giant Barf, getting all dirty

• Burn the bananas of the opponent

• Throw back all the bananas from the tube

• Wind will blow away all the bananas

• Water will cancel every track of the marker on the objects

• All bananas are cut in half

Choose wisely and alternate the External Camera and the Banana Juice to stop the VR Player!

VR Revengeance

If the VR player throws a special banana into the tube the PC will be affected, and the effects goes from drain all the juice to lose control of the actions!

Another thing that VR player can do is throw a banana to the external camera to block the PC player for some time!

If you want to stop the Multiplayer mode and return to the Begin of the game you can press the Reset Button on the upper side of the Monitor in VR. But don't Rage Quit please!

I hope this quick walkthrough will be helpful and make more clear how the multiplayer mode works. Give us your impressions so we can make this mode even more appealing.

Playing with friends is always fun!
