Bombanana Review: What 205 Steam Reviews Say
Steam reviews read:
What gets praised
- Playing with strangers from the lobby browser works: one reviewer cleared nine levels back to back with a random trio
- Slapping a teammate who keeps calling colours the blind monkey cannot see is the most-mentioned feature
- Price: several reviews call it cheap for what it is
- The 'one more level' pull and the difficulty curve; controls described as tight
What gets complained about
- Colorblind mode cannot be switched off for some players (a bug the developer is investigating on the Steam forum)
- A new module usually means an explosion until the trio learns it; the limited emote set makes new modules hard to explain
- Invite and join failures reported around launch (see the known issues page)
In the players' words
"Well I have no friends to play this game with, so i went to play in the lobby browser, got a perfect team of 3 mokneys, and somehow we communicated perfectly to clear 9 levels back to back in one sitting"
"Peak game, but we can't turn off color blind mode, seems like a bug"
"Very funny co-op game to play with 3 friends, you need to stregize in between rounds to undertand the game by reading the manual. Plus its very cheap."
Is it worth $7.99?
The review split says most buyers think so, with the usual caveat for this genre: you need two other people and two microphones. If your group liked Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes but wanted more chaos and less reading, the comparison guide spells out the differences. If you are buying to play with strangers, the lobby browser works — the most-upvoted English review cleared nine levels with a random trio. Check the requirements (300 MB, integrated graphics is fine) and the player count before you do.
