problems are in your way.

PUZZLE GATE

A puzzle gate is a mystical device invented to allow entry to only those with steady nerves. There are a number of fiendish puzzles to choose from. Complete most of them and the gate unlocks. Enter all of them if you want to collect every banana that's available to you.
