BOMBANANA! Launches on Steam with Overhauled Art, Three Game Modes
BOMBANANA!, the multiplayer party game that became the most-played demo during Steam Next Fest — drawing over six million demo players — is now available on Steam.
The studio describes the launch build as a substantial step beyond the demo, with the team spending the weeks leading up to release on quality improvements.
What changed
- Three game modes: Campaign, Endless, and Custom
- New environments with distinct hazards and interactions
- New puzzles and modifiers designed to vary each session
- Complete monkey overhaul: emotes, voice-synced animations, new player interactions (including slapping)
- Revised art direction described as a stylish new creative direction that retains the original's spirit
- Multiplayer infrastructure: server browsing and room codes
- Platform and accessibility additions: controller support, Steam Deck support, achievements, and a colorblind mode
The announcement was authored by a developer credited as "catty" and signed off by "Lefto."
For a game that built its audience entirely on a free demo, the breadth of additions between that build and launch gives returning players a meaningful reason to revisit — and a fuller picture of what the studio actually shipped.
