    Now THIS is how you release a game. Plenty of levels on release. Endless mode on release. Custom mode on release. A Public lobby browser on release. Its rare that studios put the effort in nowadays. Lefto Studio deserves tons of praise. In terms of the game, its a refreshing new take on the friendslop genre. It can take a couple tries to understand a puzzle as you only have one part of it but its very intuitive. …

    Started the game off smooth, then we got to the piano. We had it set to random selection, and this time I was blind. Deaf dumbass starts telling me the numbers… in Spanish. I don’t speak Spanish. He kept saying “cinco,” so I guessed 7. Wrong. Then I guessed 6. Also wrong. Then we exploded. We yelled at him after to say in english. Then we tried again.

    As a colorblind person, i find the colorblind option REALLY useful. The game itself is really fun and creative. i had a fear that it'll just fall in the hole of copy and pasting modules from Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes, but it didn't. It has its own modules and solutions. I love how every player has to do something most of the time: blind presses and jorks all the ADHD buttons that needs to be jorked in order …

    Excellent game. Would torture my friends with it again if they let me. QoL stuff: I would love a few more hand gestures (like for zero), customizable hotkeys for hand gestures, increased/more reliable object pickup distance, and the ability to hold an object and the book at the same time.

    The only issue with this game is that its too short and needs even more modules. Its so much fun I could play for many more hours. But for the price I really can't say I've ever laughed so hard trying to figure out some of these puzzles together.

    This game is perfectly paced and priced at $5 (or 8, if you get it when it's not on sale). 30 levels feels perfect to play with your friends for a night without the gimmick ever getting old. The slapstick of being able to throw things at your friends (or literally slap them) is perfect for levels midway through the game when you know the mechanics but your friends are stupid so you can express your frustration, but the last few levels (30 especially) is a great challenge when everyone has…

    I downloaded Bombanana Friendslop expecting a fun little game with friends. What I did NOT expect was to be personally attacked by a piano module that appears to have been tuned by someone who has only heard music described to them over the phone. From a musical standpoint, this game is simply not great. I have ears. I have standards. I know what a piano is supposed to sound like, and unfortunately the developers and I appear to disagree. Even worse, the keys on the piano module are off. You…

    The game itself was actually hella fun with two of my friends until we all reached Level 8. That’s when our perspective of the game completely changed. The game seriously lacks accessibility for deaf gamers like us, as we can’t hear the sounds at all. This left us unable to continue because the Symbol Module requires players to hear specific sounds, making the game essentially unplayable for deaf gamers.

    15 levels with a random French guy who just barely spoke English, his bastard friend who spoke no English and wasn't silent for more than 1 second at any given time, and me (I speak a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ version of high school French). Honestly, I recommend playing with randoms who don't speak your language more than playing with your friends, It just adds that extra layer of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ which makes the game endlessly more fun

    I'm so happy that this game exists. It just goes to show that fun games can come in these smaller packages as well. 2025/2026 were amazing years in gaming to prove this point. Bombanana is right up there. A smaller scope for sure but the fun is packed and bursting at the seams. Have only played for an hour but have also planned to play with a "select" group of friends over the weekend (ones that I know will relish in the discord that is coordinating bomb defusal seriously).

Even tho we had really stressful and tense moments, I think all in all we all enjoyed our time and had plenty of fun even if it's mostly short lasted. Once everyone knows all the modules in and out, and figured out a strategy to communicate, it's too simple. But I can see how the game could update with more modes and ofc, more modules to give…

    A cut above the rest in the friend-slop era. Minigames are well-made and challenging, super fun & funny to figure out and realize what information you have to give and what your friends can't see/hear/share. My only criticism is that some puzzles are nearly impossible to solve on the first attempt (symbol spinner, Morse code, Simon says). Would still absolutely recommend though, a much better game than most others releasing in this genre.

    Game is ok. Very similar to Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes. I've only played until Level 13 at the moment. The gimmick of requiring a third player, and the whole "one is blind, one is deaf, one is mute" thing are cute ideas, but haven't manifested into anything particularly interesting as of yet. My main complaint would be that when you encounter a new type of module, it feels basically impossible to do it. The communication tools the Mute player (who can see the handbook) has to…

But if your team is good enough and everyones doing textbook what they're supposed to do extremely efficiently, then its not funny anymore, and not as fun anymore.

The graphics, animations and user interface are top notch and the puzzles are challenging enough especially if you don’t communicate outside of levels. Would recommend to any group of 3.
