Oasis Games, an independent Chinese publisher, announced that its day one PlayStation VR title, Ace Banana, has launched. Developed exclusively for VR, Ace Banana is a first person arcade archery game where players wield a bow to protect their banana stash from a host of marauding monkeys.
“Ace Banana is a great game for the PlayStation VR launch with its fun and unique gameplay offering,” said Alen Wu, business director at Oasis Games. “Players will find themselves stepping into a colorful world, armed with a bow and variety of fun ‘arrows’ to protect their tasty bananas from waves of attacking monkeys – the fun is quick and the experience is immersive.”
In the game, players assume the role of a Banana Archer, the protectors of bananas. In opposition are hordes of monkeys dressed in a variety of different costumes and approach the user by using different techniques and moves that add to the surprise factor of the game. As these monkeys arrive in waves through 16 stages, players must use the PlayStation Move controllers to mimic drawing, aiming and shooting their bow with an arsenal of arrows ranging from plungers to rubber fish and even pandas. When all the bananas are stolen, the game is over.
Ace Banana is developed by TVR (Time of Virtual Reality) and is published by Oasis Games in North America, Europe and Asia for the PlayStation VR. From October 13 through October 27, there will be a 10% discount off the base price of SG$20.00 and a 20% discount for PlayStation Plus members.
