Most Artistic
There were two artistic rules: no humans cannot be displayed, while a banana must be used somewhere. The following did the best job of implementing those rules.

Sketch Fighter
By Wilson Suanders
Game Background
Our Take
It's a classic one-on-one battle between two hand drawn
characters sketched on a notepad. As you fight, a clock
is continually running. After it reaches a certain point,
bananas fall down from the sky. They act as fuel for
your power-ups, so you'll want to gather them if you plan
on winning.
While the hand drawn characters have some humanoid qualities, they are still creative and well animated. Bananas play a big role in helping you unleash powerful moves.

Spiked Fruits
By Robert Jr Ohannessian
Game Background
Our Take
As a hyperintelligent sentient cloud from another dimension,
your goal is to eat all the fruit before the timer runs out.
But there is a catch: the fruit is spiked. As you eat it,
your vision is affected, making it hard to continue on. The
game can also be played by two players simultaneously via a
split screen. In that mode, the fruit you eat affects the
other player.
The game did a good job following both rules: there are no humans present in any form, and while the bananas are an important part of the game, they aren't all over the place.

Banana Combat
By Zaphos
Game Background
Our Take
Fruit flies are everywhere, and it's your job as a banana
to destroy them. Unfortunately you have no arms or legs,
so you'll have to be creative. By tilting back and forth,
you can flip yourself upside-down. Once in that position,
you can spring up and squash the flies.
The multiplayer mode is not much different than the single player mode, but it's the uniqueness of the controls and gameplay that set this game apart from the others.
