Hello and welcome Banas, we have a very exciting announcement for you! Today begins our first Bana Competiton, with incredible prizes, an awesome challenge, and at the end of the event, the introduction of several new skins!!! Before we get into that though, you're probably wondering what the event actually is. [h1]Space Race Competition[/h1] [b]NOTICE: This event is only available to our closed beta testers so we can see how Bana Competitions might work with a full player base in the future, you can request to become a beta tester at our [url=https://discord.gg/qUzBDU6zZP]Official Discord Server[/url].[/b] To participate in the main competition, you'll have to play endless mode and get to [b]level 20[/b]. From there you will find the 5th and final, undiscovered [b]secret weapon...[/b] The challenge must be completed using this space themed weapon! Your goal is to get the most epic screenshot using this weapon, then submit it to our [url=https://discord.gg/qUzBDU6zZP]Discord Server[/url]!

[*] Second and Third Place will get the entire register of [b]Space Skins[/b] as they release in the next update [/list] [h1]Space Skins[/h1] We're sure you've been waiting to see these skins so frequently mentioned, so here's a sneak peak of a few [b]Space Skins[/b] in the bundle: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42657326/1490ffc825c9100607dc3a5031e17f585adc0675.png[/img] [olist] [*] American Astronaut - The first and easiest to obtain skin in the bundle, this is the one of the most commonly thought of astronaut helmets, as it is based on Niel Armstrong's helmet. [*] Russian Cosmonaut - Tied in difficulty to obtain with the American Astronaut skin, the cosmonaut helmet is based on Alexei Leonov's suit, this space helmet has a fantastic green-brown base and silver visor is a remarkable skin. [*] Chinese Taikonaut - This golden colored helmet bearing the Chinese flag is not based on any particular Taikonaut but is a fantastic skin regardless, and will be slightly more difficult to obtain than the previously mentioned skins. [*] Canadian Astronaut - This white helmet with a white base and fantastic blue stripe that bears the greatest flag flown in all the world (The 100% Canadian team at Bana Simulator is definitely not biased in saying this) is based on the suit worn by David Saint-Jacques, and will be just as difficult to obtain as the Taikonaut suit. [*] {Redacted} - This {Redacted} will {Redacted} so that you can {Redacted}, and will be {Redacted} difficult to obtain. [/olist] [h1]Other Information[/h1] We are accepting submissions for [b]both [/b] competitions at the time of this being written, and will stop accepting submissions along with the release of the [b]first major update[/b] in a few weeks. This update will be the first of a few steps we will be taking to get Bana Simulator's beta available to the general public. I can't reveal too much about that update, but I will say there will be several more hours of [b]Story Content[/b] as well as a second full [b]Bossfight[/b], am I as excited as you? We're so excited to see all the submissions for the [b]Bana Simulator Space Race Competition[/b]!
