Banners and Strain: What is it about Banners and Strain that make it so addictive? For starters, Banners are nothing but a collection of images in the form of words. They are designed by putting words on different backgrounds and the images get loaded to your browser automatically and the words at the background gets highlighted when you move your mouse over them. The catch is that you have to click on these words or images several times in order to load them and when you do this; your browser gets stuffed with interesting things to see and every time you look at it; a new word or images get loaded.
Another reason why Banners and Strain are so interesting is that it is all about timing. You either need to have the right timing or you will not be able to make any profit from the game. To test this theory, try as many times as you can to load the game and see which words/ images trigger your browser to fire it up when you click on them. In other words, to win the game, you must know when the best time to play it is and you need to use the same strategy each time.
There are several levels in Banners and Strain, which further ratchet the interest of the player to keep playing. However, the basic game play involves only nine levels, unlike the original game where you played Banners against the computer. In fact, most people who haven’t played Bananabubblegum Strain are completely unaware of the fact that it is a game rather than a quiz show. They feel that the game is just a form of pop-up ads promoting some product. Well, there is nothing like this, especially when you are winning prizes along the way.
In fact, Banners and Strain are not even a quiz show. You are required to analyze the words that the animals are saying and then answer accordingly to score points. Each level involves a different kind of animal and thus, increases the difficulty. Some examples are:
The first level is called Pecksniff and you have to find all the Pecksniffs that have poop in a specific color pattern. It also requires you to identify the word they are saying correctly. If you manage to make all the words match, you get a point and if you happen to make mistakes, then you lose points.
Another way to play Banners and Strain is to try and identify the real words from the pictures that appear. This can be tricky as some words may not actually look like anything. For example, the word “peck” in the game may actually just be a bird’s beak. As long as you are able to spot these clues, then you have a pretty good chance at making it to the top level successfully.
Each game comes with its own set of rules. If you’re unfamiliar with them, you should definitely read the rules and terms part before starting your game. For example, in the word “bob”, there will always be two letters, rather than one like in the real word. So, it’s important to read the terms carefully so you won’t get disqualified if you happen to use the wrong words when playing.
When you play Banners and Strain, you will notice that the words on the screens are animated. This is a cool feature and it adds a bit of fun to the game. Just try not to click on the wrong words as you can end up having a ban for using a touchscreen too much in one game. If you happen to get banned, you will lose all your points and will have to start over!
