What if I told you that you can make some real money by simply clicking on a banana? How many times do you click your mouse in a day? What if you could use that simple action to make some real dough? This sounds like the setup of a modern scam or some crypto scheme, but it isn’t. It is real.

There is a game taking the world by storm, and it is called Banana. It is available on Steam for the low price of free. The premise of Banana is simple. You boot up the game, wait for it to load, and then you click on the banana. You click over and over and over again until you get bored. Then, when some time has passed, you fire it up and do it all over again. That’s it. That is all there is to it. There are no high scores, no competitive metas, no competitions, no opponents, no multiplayer, no AI. It is just you and the banana. And your mouse. And your poor wrist.

Clicker games, which Banana is a classic example of (similar to Cookie Clicker), are nothing new. They’ve been around for a while, along with idle games. These types of games are a cheap way to kill some time and feed your brain’s dopamine receptors by watching small numbers get bigger.
