We know we told you that the next major update for SAR would be April 5th, but we’ve had a major breakthrough at Pixile and we couldn’t help but release it immediately. After months of extensive research and community outreach to determine the best step forward for the game, we think we’ve cracked and peeled it. In the end, we had to pass on thousands of other features in order to pursue this new direction, but we think it was worth it and will take the game to the next level.
The key insight we discovered (with your help) was that of all the items in the game, bananas were the most deadly -- far moreso than bullets -- and as such we’ve made the decision to upgrade every weapon in the game to fire bananas. Not only do bananas make better projectiles, they’re also 100% compostable so none of your missed shots will go to waste! And we didn’t stop there: not wanting to leave melee weapons behind, we’re also granting every player, who plays at least one game between April 1-5, a giant banana melee weapon. Now, not only can you slip other animals with bananas, you can also smack and shoot them with the potassium rich fruit for maximum damage.
We’ve also been informed by a certain community Discord server, organized by banana loving Super Animals, that we should utter the phrase “praise banan” at the end of this post to grace your banans with the best of luck. So praise banan, and may all your banans fly true in your quests to reach the top of the food chain!

Due to the gravity and importance of this update, we’ve looped the YouTube video revealing the feature 4 times to make sure you don’t miss a moment of the banan action.
