BOMBANANA!

BOMBANANA! is a multiplayer co-operative game built for exactly three players. Each player takes the role of a monkey with a different impairment, and the team must defuse a bomb together. If they fail, the bomb explodes. The game places weight on communication and misunderstanding between players.

The three roles split the information between players. The Blind Monkey cannot see the bomb, colours or screens, but can touch the bomb. The Mute Monkey is the only one who can read the bomb disposal manual, but cannot speak to share it. The Deaf Monkey can see the bomb and the other players’ gestures, but cannot hear anything. No communication method is imposed, so players may wave, shout, gesture with an emote wheel, throw bananas or slap one another. Voice chat is included, though not every role can use it. Each bomb has different puzzle modules with their own rules.

There are three game modes. Campaign has 30 handcrafted levels of increasing difficulty, with new levels unlocked by defusing bombs. Endless uses procedurally generated, wave-based levels that grow harder over time. Custom lets players adjust bomb difficulty, the timer, module types, environmental hazards and the number of mistakes allowed. Environments include a minivan and a plane, and hazards include power outages, obstructions and loud interruptions. A colour blind mode adapts the colours used in objects and the interface to support two types of colour blindness.
