Developer Lefto Studio announced that three-player online co-op game 'BOMBANANA!' recorded 1 million players during its first two weeks of release.
On September 18 (KST), Lefto Studio revealed its two-week launch results through an official Steam announcement. The attached image showed "1,000,000 PLAYERS" and 300,000 new wishlists. The developers expressed their gratitude for the players' support.
'BOMBANANA!' is a game where three players defuse a bomb within a time limit based on different pieces of information. Players take on the role of a blind, deaf, or mute monkey. Because the accessible information and actions vary by role, players must solve puzzles by communicating with their teammates.
The blind monkey can touch and operate the bomb, but cannot check colors or information shown on screens. Only the mute monkey can read the bomb defusal manual, while the deaf monkey can see the bomb and teammates' gestures. In the process of sharing information from the manual and the bomb, players must make use of voice and gestures according to their roles.
The game is designed specifically for three players to play together. The core mechanic is conveying individual information so teammates can use it. Communication is possible through hand gestures, emotes, and voice chat, while environmental factors such as blackouts and noise interfere with defusal work.
There are three game modes: Campaign, Endless, and Custom. Campaign consists of 30 levels with gradually increasing difficulty, while Endless mode has players solve procedurally generated levels one after another. Custom mode allows players to build custom challenges by adjusting bomb difficulty, time limits, module types, environmental hazards, and the number of allowed errors.
'BOMBANANA!' was developed by Lefto Studio and published by TARK. Released on Steam on September 2, it is available on Windows and macOS, supporting Korean interface and subtitles.
