Free to play, with ads and banana-shop purchases
The game is free to install and shows both ads and in-app purchases. Inside the game you spend collected bananas in a shop on power-ups, hats and parachutes.
Missions raise your score multiplier, which gives a reason to keep playing beyond a single run.
Five areas, five rideable animals
A run moves through jungle, beach, cave, treetops and underwater areas. You can ride a boar, giraffe, toucan, turtle or snake, and each animal changes how you get past obstacles. The track is built randomly as you play, so no two runs follow the same layout.
Filling the power bar with bananas lets you swipe right for a Power Dash that smashes through obstacles. You can also pick alternate routes, such as the underground cave or the treetops.
Controls rely on one-finger taps and swipes. Google Play Games adds leaderboards, achievements and cloud save, and other players' best distances appear on the track. The download is small, and the game starts within seconds of launch.
An older game still kept current
Banana Kong first appeared on December 2, 2013. The current version is 2.0.6, last updated October 30, 2026, and it needs Android 7.0 or newer.
