A game for a Raspberry Pi to be played with bananas

Question

I want to use the following materials for animations with kids:

As such, I am searching for a game for them to play.
This game must fulfil these requirements:

Use simple-to-understand mechanics (think Pacman level)
Fairly basic control-wise:
- The controls allowed with bananas are:
  - ← ↑ → ↓ space keys and left-click (simple ones)
  - w a s d f g (wiring a wee bit more complicated)
  - ← ↑ → ↓ for the pointer and both clicks (controls way harder than with an actual mouse)
- As such, the game should be fully controllable with only the above keys. Rebinding is okay.
- Due to the nature of pointer controls, games which are simple to play with an actual mouse can become very challenging when using the Makey Makey.
The game must be able to run on a Pi, although not necessarily at full resolution.

What would also be great is:

If the game was Open-Source
If it had some kind of local (one screen) multi-player, or even LAN multi-player

There is another question on this topic, but it did not provide any control information. — Kyll, Jun 10, 2016 at 13:03
Throwing bomberman in here, no information on open-source though. But it does have a LAN multiplayer :D — Seth, Jun 10, 2016 at 13:10

Interesting. The keys can be rebound, so I can plug the action key to a banana too. I'll have to check how nicely the game runs on a Pi though, a 3 minutes search brought this video of someone successfully using a Pi to play the game back in 2012.
