About the Game

Choose your giant—the mighty Gorilla or the formidable Yeti—and take your turn atop the skyscrapers. The goal is simple: outlast your rival and be the last one standing! Master the classic mechanics of angle and velocity to lob your bananas across the city. Each shot carves chunks from the buildings, dynamically altering the battlefield. Factor in the shifting wind each round to land that perfect, game-winning hit on your opponent. The first to win 3 rounds claims victory!

  • The Classic, Perfected: Faithful gameplay rebuilt with modern technology. It’s the same addictive banana-tossing combat you remember, smoother and more beautiful than ever.

  • Local & AI Battles: Challenge a friend in intense local hotseat (PvP) mode or hone your skills against a smart AI with two distinct difficulty settings (Easy & Hard).

  • Dynamic Destructible Cities: Every shot permanently alters the landscape. Buildings are procedurally generated before each match, ensuring no two battlefields are ever the same!

  • Strategic Wind System: A changing wind force affects every shot. Watch the clouds to gauge its direction or disable it for pure aiming skill. The city feels alive with ambient sounds and music.

  • Rich Pixel Art & Animations: Vivid pixel art skylines, multiple background themes, and charmingly animated characters (idle, throwing, celebrating) bring the clash to life.

  • Deep Post-Game Stats: After each match, analyze your performance with detailed statistics: accuracy percentages, "Sniper Shot" (longest hit), moon hits, bananas thrown, and more.

  • Fully Customizable Matches: Player names, wind toggle, and AI difficulty let you tailor the experience to your liking before you start.

  • Authentic & Atmospheric: From the satisfying thwip of a throw and the crumbling buildings to the iconic moon Easter egg, every element is crafted with love for the original.

  • Modern Options: Includes full screen/windowed mode and individual volume sliders for Music and SFX.



This is just the beginning! Based on community feedback, future updates may explore:

  • New weapons

  • Power-ups

  • Additional arenas (jungles, mountains!)

  • More character customization

  • Online Challenges

Whether you’re a veteran of the original looking for a hit of nostalgia or a new player discovering a timeless strategy gem, Gorilla vs Yeti is the ultimate city-smashing showdown.

Ready. Aim. RETRO!
