Lefto Studio released a demo of BOMBANANA! during Steam Next Fest on June 16. The cooperative bomb defusal game assigns each of three players the role of one of the See No Evil, Hear No Evil, or Speak No Evil monkeys, each with a different communication limitation. The demo has earned a Very Positive rating on Steam, with 99% of roughly 200 user reviews positive. The full version is planned for August 2026.
Lefto Studio's BOMBANANA! entered Steam Next Fest on June 16 with a demo that has quickly earned a Very Positive rating. In the game, three players each take on one of the three wise monkeys-blind, deaf, or mute-and must cooperate to defuse bombs inside a mobile bomb workshop. The mute monkey holds the defusal manual but cannot speak, the deaf monkey interprets gestures and relays instructions verbally, and the blind monkey performs the actual bomb work. The studio deliberately leaves communication methods unscripted, letting players decide how to convey information. At the time of writing, 99% of approximately 200 user reviews are positive. The full version is scheduled for August 2026.
