The Banana Bash: A Fast-Paced, Competitive Platformer

• Monkey Fruit Fight is coming soon to Android devices.
• This 1v1 competitive platformer is designed for family-friendly gameplay.
• Knock opponents off the stage by tossing fruit and dodging attacks with quick leaps.

The mobile competitive platformer scene is quite crowded, as shown by last week's launch of Ultimate Chicken Horse. Although that title received mixed reviews, Monkey Fruit Fight may succeed where Ultimate Chicken Horse fell short.

What makes this even more remarkable is that Monkey Fruit Fight is developed by a solo developer who is entirely self-taught. Andreas learned all the coding, server infrastructure, and animation skills on his own. That dedication shines through in the game's fast-paced, competitive platforming action.

In short, Monkey Fruit Fight is a rapid 1v1 platformer where your goal is to knock your rival off the stage using an arsenal of fruit-based weapons. Jump around and face off in quick 100-second matches—ideal for killing time during a commute or short break.

Serious fun for everyone

As Andreas noted when sharing details about Monkey Fruit Fight, many family-oriented games actually cater more to adults, with only occasional consideration for younger or less experienced players. Monkey Fruit Fight aims to change that.

There’s a lot of value in that approach. Family gaming is often dominated by Nintendo, leaving few alternatives in the public eye. With its straightforward controls, fast pace, and appealing retro-style visuals, Monkey Fruit Fight offers something for both kids and adults.

If Monkey Fruit Fight feels a bit too quaint or old-school for your tastes, don’t worry—there are plenty of other options. Take a look at our list of the 25 best platform games on iOS and Android to see our top picks.
