Team behind Banana clicker game says it ‘blew up’ faster than they anticipated

By now, pretty much every gaming news outlet has been talking about the weirdly popular clicker gameBanana. Idid an articlea few days ago, where I took the plunge myself to see what all the fuss was about. Spoiler alert: I didn’t see the appeal (yes, we’ve made that joke already). But it’s tough to deny how much it’s exploded on Steam. Even the developers themselves could not anticipate it. Recently, the team behindBananaposted a messagewhere a decision has been made based on the changing of some of the community-made bananas....

Time to get sucked back into Stardew Valley

There’s a significant update playable now in beta I’ve wrestled free ofStardew Valley. I don’t know how I got away from the soothing farm life sim, but I did, and I’m hesitant to so much as look at its listing in my Steam library unless I have no obligations left for the day. This isn’t a game I can play for “just a little bit.” It’s a multi-hour commitment. With all that said, dang, I might be about to head back in....
