- Playtest Sign-ups - 19 August 2026
Hellooo Monkeys!You heard that right, we are planning on taking the demo down in 24 hours at exactly:20 August 2026 | 4PM UTC | 9AM PST | 12PM EST | 5PM BST | 6PM CEST | 12AM CST We know that this news is disappointing to the many players still enjoying the demo. We looked for a lot of alternative solutions (and still are), unfortunately the way we set things up makes it extremely difficult to do so while allowing us to test the features coming in the full game. We still have someone actively trying to find a workaround that lets the demo stay up in its current state. If we solve that problem you will be the first ones to know! For now, we appreciate your patience and are thankful for your understanding - there are only a few of us, we want to make the full game as good as we possibly can for you and this is the best way we can do that. And now for the good news! We can confirm that the…

- New Art Sneak Peek - 9 August 2026
Hi Monkeys! We wanted to give you a cheeky peek behind the curtain and show off some of the new art our amazing artist Ece has been working on, while these updates won’t be available in the demo, we wanted to share some of the things you have to look forward to in the full game!The art style I used for BOMBANANA! was actually something I came up with during a game jam, I wanted to create a style that would allow me to work quickly while still having a strong visual identity. It doesn’t rely on line art and instead focuses heavily on vibrant color combinations and painterly textures. This also gives me more freedom when working and creates a more hand painted feeling. That’s actually how we found her, we were part of the same gamejam and loved the art style, so we immediately reached out to her to work on the art for BOMBANANA! The very first thing I focused on was textures. People had a…

Okay Monkey’s! First of all, uh hello👋, second, what the f***?From the absolute bottom of our hearts, thank you! A few weeks ago we were just 2 people making a game we thought was fun, now we’re the second most played Demo on Steam?! wtf?!… 😱 It has been a rollercoaster and to be honest we really didn’t know what to do… What do you do when suddenly more than 6 million people have played your game? English isn’t even our first language (yes we got our new community manager to help rewrite this for us, more on that in a bit).To say we were surprised is an understatement, but when we saw how much people were loving this game, we realised we needed to make some fast moves to do right by the incredible community of players who found us! We spoke to a local publisher, recommended by friends we trusted and brought them on to support us, along with some other partners who are working with us…
