Banana Game Tops Elden Ring & Call of Duty on Steam

In an astonishing twist, the clicker game "Banana" has surged in popularity on Steam, surpassing highly acclaimed titles such as Elden Ring, Call of Duty, and Baldur's Gate 3. 'Banana' sees players clicking on a banana to collect bananas, with the game featuring Steam items that can be sold or traded for Steam credit. With 137,817 peak concurrent gamers, Banana now ranks ninth on Steam's most-played games list. The game's addictive nature and the fun of trading in-game items have contributed significantly to its success. Players are especially attracted by rare items like the Diamond Banana, even if most items are of minimal monetary value.

Banana's popularity can be attributed to its simple gameplay and the allure of earning Steam items that can be sold or traded. The game's mechanics provide small but valuable rewards for minimal effort, creating a compelling loop for players. The humorous and lighthearted nature of a game where you click on bananas also adds to its widespread appeal.

The comparison of Banana to Egg, another clicker game where players click on an egg, highlights a growing trend in simple, repetitive gameplay loops that reward players with tangible digital items. Egglikes, as they are known, rely on a dedicated community who enjoy the combination of minimal interaction and trading items.
