The flies have opinions. Tempt them with fruit and see where they go.

Picnic update · 1.0.3

A new fly mascot, real 3D fruit, clearer first-match tips and better aiming on raised food. The six-minute rules are unchanged.

In BanaBuzz, you influence a busy little arena with fruit, gusts, and sensory tactics. Lure flies to your team's watermelon: adults that stay there for 30 seconds lay eggs and then leave. Those eggs hatch 60 seconds later. The team with the most flies hatched at its watermelon wins the six-minute match.

What's in the embedded practice build

• Three 3D arenas: Grand Greenhouse, Dessert Market, and Sky Garden.
• Banana, Strawberry, and Berry Brew scents, each with its own range and recharge.
• Solo versus AI, or one human plus an AI teammate against two AI opponents.
• Two or four players sharing one device and switching the active player's controls. For separate-device online matches, use the Play online link above.
• English and Korean interfaces. No game account, ads, payments or in-game purchases.

Your first match

Choose a map and an AI match. Select a fruit, then tap clear ground between your side and the center. Watch the scent and adapt your next placement. Drag to rotate the camera; use the zoom controls to see more of the arena.

Smell Block affects nearby adults until Restore reaches them. Gusts push adults away and interrupt nesting. Aim carefully: area tactics can affect adults on either side. Eggs and newborn flies during their first 30 seconds are protected from tactics.

A curious beginning

I'm the creator of BanaBuzz, developing it with AI assistance. The project grew out of experiments exploring fruit-fly brain maps. A separate neural experiment used public FlyWire-derived connections; this game uses simplified sensory rules and does not run that measured connectome or reproduce a complete brain. Read the research background and limits.
