BOMBANANA! is a three-player co-op bomb-disposal game. Each player has a different sensory limitation: the blind monkey can interact with the bomb but cannot see it, the mute monkey can read the manual but cannot speak, and the deaf monkey can see the bomb and teammates but cannot hear.
Players solve bomb modules under a time limit, passing along the information their roles can access. They can use speech, gestures, and in-game interactions to coordinate, while hazards such as power outages and obstructions can complicate the task.
The campaign has 30 handcrafted levels that unlock as players defuse bombs, with difficulty increasing over time. Endless mode uses procedurally generated waves, while Custom mode lets players adjust bomb difficulty, timers, modules, hazards, and the number of allowed mistakes.
Players frequently enjoy the comic confusion of coordinating with friends, especially as each monkey has different information and ways to communicate. Reviews also praise the teamwork-focused role design and the tension of solving puzzles against the clock. Some players find the campaign and module selection short, and a few note that roles can feel uneven or puzzles can be hard to understand at first.
BOMBANANA! is a chaotic, explosively funny co-op multiplayer game for three, where each player has only part of the information - blind monkey, deaf monkey and mute monkey must work together to defuse a bomb, or everyone goes BOOM! Will your friendship survive the ultimate test?
🙈 Blind Monkey: You can’t see the bomb, but you can touch the bomb! 👍 Sadly, you can’t see colors or read screens. You’ll need to rely on your teammates for the rest.
🙊 Mute Monkey: You are the only one who can read the bomb disposal manual. If only you could tell the others what you know.
🙉 Deaf Monkey: You can see the bomb and you can see your friends as they frantically gesture at you. Sadly, you can’t hear a thing, but at this point, would you even want to?
As you gamble with your friends' lives, you must rely on each other and your monkeys' unique abilities. Communication is key, and there’s no one right way to defuse the bomb. We don’t impose any methods: wave, shout, throw bananas. Working out how you communicate is your job.
Players can and should expect peak amounts of misunderstanding, unjust accusations, and desperate body language, placing your friendships in jeopardy. Just because you keep talking, that doesn't mean nobody explodes. Even if you manage to survive the bomb, there's no guarantee your friendship will. Some might call this game "friendslop". We disagree. If anything, it's a new genre: anti-friendslop, or perhaps an argument simulator. 🤔
