YMMV / Top Banana

• Adaptation Displacement: The Amiga version is much more well known than the original Archimedes version, most likely due to the former being a more popular platform overall.
• Anvilicious: The game's manual isn't at all subtle about its Aesop; The environment is in danger, and we need to stop people from destroying it. That said, the game itself is the exact opposite, with very few hints towards its aesop.
• Bile Fascination: The main reason people play this game is to check how long their eyes can handle its graphics.
• Fridge Horror: The sound effect upon beating the game is the same Evil Laugh as when you die, implying that KT dies at the end. Possibly from being murdered by the clown in the image.
• Memetic Mutation: The game often gets treated as a Brown Note of a game that can kill people who play it, due to its seizure-inducing graphics and Surreal Horror tone throughout.
• Nightmare Fuel: Where to even start? After each level, you receive messages like Beware Behave, and Get Up Get Down. The graphics make the game's levels look like Eldritch Locations, the sound effect when picking up an item, getting damaged, and dying are a disturbing moan, a high-pitched demonic screech, and maniacal laughter respectively. The enemies and bosses look like awkwardly moving Eldritch Abominations, and the game ends with A still image of a creepy clown staring at you... and then laughing at you like a psychopath.
  Stuart Ashen: ^note An excerpt from an article on the game in his book Attack of the Flickering Skeletons: More Terrible Old Games You've Probably Never Heard Of. Frankly, it's better to lose.
• Nintendo Hard: You can only take 5 hits before dying; and if you die, you have to start over from the beginning of the entire game, with no way to earn extra lives.
• Quirky Work: You shoot hearts at stock images in various corrupted-looking levels. The sound design, graphics and character sprites are borderline Surreal Horror.
• So Bad, It's Good:
  • The bizarre graphics and Anvilicious Green Aesop make this game utterly hilarious to some.
  • Of note is the opening song, which is extremely off-key, contains weird vocals, and sounds like something you'd hear in a weird dream. It also sets the tone for the rest of the game.
• Suspiciously Similar Song: As noted on the main page, the BGM sounds like the infamously creepy Cave of Winters theme from EarthBound.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: Often gets accused of being a Rainbow Islands knockoff.
• This Is Your Premise on Drugs: Going hand-in-hand with the above, reviewers often describe this game as Rainbow Islands on various hallucinogenic drugs... all taken in great quantities at once.
