The frustration of miscommunication becomes addictive
Developed by Turkey-based Lefto Studio, this three-player cooperative party game was released on Steam on September 2, 2026.Players each control one of three monkeys—based on the “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” motif—and attempt to defuse a briefcase-shaped time bomb.
“See No Evil” is the only one who can directly touch the bomb to manipulate wires and switches, but can see nothing beyond outlines. “Speak No Evil” knows the answer from reading the disarming manual but cannot speak, so must communicate through gestures. Finally, “Hear No Evil” can survey the bomb and the surrounding area but cannot hear any sounds at all.
It has been revealed that this game surpassed 1 million copies sold within 10 days of its release on Steam. Additionally, a smartphone (iOS/Android) version is set to launch in October 2026. Furthermore, console versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox are currently in active development.
"BOMBANANA!" is currently available for PC (Steam) for 1,050 yen. It also supports Japanese language display.
