Sure, let’s dive into the chaotic world of Missing Banban.
So, here’s the deal – Missing Banban is this wild 2D action platformer on PS5. I mean, imagine colors just exploding everywhere while you play as Sheriff Toaster. Yeah, that’s right, a toaster. Or at least, that’s how it feels. You gotta find your missing buddy while battling enemies across beaches and secret factories—cause, why not?
First thing, the controls. Ugh, okay, so maybe it’s just me, but fiddling with the left stick or D-Pad to navigate felt kinda clunky. Or maybe it was the coffee I had. Anyway, you jump with the X button—like really hold it down to leap, which I learned the hard way after missing a few jumps. Oh, and wall jumps are a thing. Dash with L1, and shoot with Square. Special abilities? Hit Circle. You’ll need energy for that though. I remember almost shouting at the screen because I kept running out mid-fight. Also, switching weapons with L2/R2—kinda intuitive once you get into the rhythm.
About collecting stuff, which honestly is its own adventure. Coins get you abilities like Heal (duh!) and Invincibility (which, let me tell you, feels way too short when you’re swarmed). And then there’s this crazy thing called Criminal Buckets. Supposed to block bullets—guess what, it actually does! And there’s a friend called Zolphius who joins in, randomly attacking enemies. Because, why not? Oh, and badges can get you new skins. Yeah, I totally got sidetracked collecting those.
And for all the trophy hunters, there’s a Platinum trophy! Exciting, right? Feels like a rare treasure when other games in the Garten of Banban universe don’t offer one. You get trophies for all sorts of stuff—beating bosses, finding badges, upgrading health, etc. I only realized it after collecting like half of them.
The game costs $9.99, same for PS4 if you’re curious. I dunno, seems like a steal for all the chaos it serves. Anyway—oh, wait—I was going to say something about dark energy corrupting friends, which sounds like a bad soap opera plot—maybe that’s the appeal?
Okay, there you have it. A messy, colorful, and strangely addictive ride on Missing Banban. Hope I didn’t lose you somewhere along the beaches or factories!
