BOMBANANA! FAQ

BOMBANANA! is a 3-player co-op party game from Lefto Studio, published by TARK, about defusing bombs under a strict communication handicap. One player (Blind Monkey) can touch the bomb but not see it, one (Deaf Monkey) can see everything but hear nothing, and one (Mute Monkey) holds the only manual but can't speak its contents aloud. The whole game is built around getting information across that broken channel before the timer runs out.

BOMBANANA! is scheduled to release on Steam for Windows on September 2, 2026. See our release date page for what is and isn’t confirmed about launch day.

The demo is free on Steam. The full game's price has not been officially announced as of this writing; third-party trackers estimate somewhere in the $4.99–$9.99 range based on comparable indie co-op titles, but that figure is not confirmed by Lefto Studio or TARK.

No. BOMBANANA! requires exactly 3 players — there is no solo mode and no 2-player mode. The game is built around three asymmetric roles (Blind, Deaf, and Mute Monkey), and removing or adding a player breaks the design outright.

BOMBANANA! is confirmed for Windows PC via Steam only. Mac and Linux are not supported, and no PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch version has been announced. See our platforms page for the full breakdown.

Yes. The demo launched during Steam Next Fest in June 2026 and covers 7 tiers of escalating bomb complexity. It unlocks a repeatable Free Mode at level 5, so groups can practice communication without a run-ending timer. It has already been played by 670,000+ demo players.

Voice chat isn't strictly mandatory, but it's the practical way most teams play, since the Blind Monkey and Mute Monkey both need fast information relayed to them and neither can rely on sight. That said, the whole premise is that no single channel works perfectly for everyone — the Deaf Monkey can't use voice chat at all in-fiction, which is why gestures and callouts matter as much as talking. See our callout guide for a communication system that doesn't lean on voice alone.

No. BOMBANANA! is a standalone Steam PC game, not a Roblox experience. Unrelated Roblox games like KABOOMNANA and BOMBAROO describe themselves as inspired by or parodying BOMBANANA!, and a third title, Banana Bomb Defusal, shares a similar theme — none of them are made by Lefto Studio or connected to the official release. Our dedicated Roblox page breaks down each one.

BOMBANANA! runs on modest hardware. Minimum specs are roughly Windows 10/11 64-bit, an Intel Core i3-6100 or AMD Ryzen 3 1200, 2 GB RAM, and Intel HD Graphics 520-equivalent graphics, needing only about 300 MB of storage. Recommended specs step up to an Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with 8 GB RAM for a smoother experience.

BOMBANANA! is developed by Lefto Studio and published by TARK. Both names appear on the official Steam store page, and they are the names to check if you want to confirm whether something claiming to be BOMBANANA! (on Roblox or elsewhere) is actually the real game.

BOMBANANA! supports 15 languages, including English, Turkish, French, German, both Spain and Latin American Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Polish, Italian, and Ukrainian. That is a broad list for an indie co-op title, which should help teams of mixed-language friends play together.

Yes. Steam Achievements is listed among BOMBANANA!'s Steam categories, alongside Online Co-Op, Family Sharing, and options for keyboard-only or mouse-only play. Exact achievement names and unlock conditions haven't been published yet.

No. BOMBANANA! is non-violent, stylized bomb-defusal gameplay focused entirely on cooperative puzzle-solving between the three monkeys. There's no adult content to be aware of.

Both the demo and the full game's Steam page are linked from our demo page and homepage. The demo is playable free right now on Steam, and wishlisting the main listing is the best way to get notified when it unlocks on September 2, 2026.
