Banana Empire is a Cookie Clicker clone I created for mobile devices. This project was an introduction for me into mobile game development. I created this project in 2021 before starting school at Sheridan College. I used the Godot game engine with a goal to better understand all the elements of game design. I gained valuable knowledge during this project and it has helped me reflect on what I learn in school and use it to better my future projects.
The gameplay closely resembles Cookie Clicker. The player will taps the large banana and gains currencies when doing so. The multiplier builds up the more the player consecutively taps the banana.
I wanted to include settings so the player can tune aspects of the game to fit their needs. The settings allow for adjusting the different sounds. I also including a way to adjust how much the game autosaves to allow the player to optimize the game more if they needed.
The shop allows players to automatically gain currency by purchasing tools that "autoclick" for them. This was a challenge as I had to come up with seven different banana related tools that make sense for scaling.
Unfortunately I lost this project on my old computer so I cannot upload it to my itch. I don't plan on re-creating this game, however I may attempt a similar project for a game jam, or to test my skills when I finish school.
