BOMBANANA! Turns Its Steam Breakout Into a Roblox Hit, Surpassing 16 Million Visits

After selling more than one million copies on Steam in its first ten days, BOMBANANA!’s official Roblox adaptation has surpassed 16 million visits and 80,000 favorites

Istanbul, Türkiye (October 5, 2026) | BOMBANANA!’s breakout success is no longer limited to Steam. After surpassing one million copies sold on PC within its first ten days, the game has translated its communication-driven co-op formula into a successful Roblox experience that has already generated more than 16 million visits and 80,000 favorites.

‍

The numbers position the Roblox version of BOMBANANA! as a meaningful success in its own right, rather than simply an extension of the PC release. BOMBANANA! is also the first Steam-native party game to launch an official, purpose-built Roblox adaptation — creating a new bridge between the premium PC market and one of the world’s largest user-generated gaming ecosystems. The official Roblox adaptation was built specifically for the platform’s audience, social behaviors, and design language.

‍

From one breakout audience to another

‍

On Steam, BOMBANANA! became a breakout co-op title after achieving more than one million wishlists and attracting over six million demo players before launch, then selling more than one million copies in its first ten days.

‍

On Roblox, the same IP is reaching players through a version designed around the platform, rather than through a direct port. Its 16M+ visits and 80K+ favorites show that the core idea — communication, teamwork, panic, and comedy between friends — can translate successfully across very different player ecosystems.

‍

Ilker Ergen, Co-Founder of TARK Games, said:

‍

“What excites us most is that the Roblox version is not just there — it is actually working as a game on its own terms. Millions of visits show that BOMBANANA!’s core idea can connect with a completely different audience without simply copying the Steam experience.”

‍

“Steam and Roblox are very different ecosystems, especially for independent games. We did not want to treat Roblox as another box to tick or as a conventional port. We wanted to build a version that felt native to Roblox, while preserving the communication and chaos that made BOMBANANA! work in the first place.”

‍

“Being the first Steam-native party game to launch an official Roblox adaptation is important, but the more meaningful part for us is that players are responding to it. That opens up a new way of thinking about how indie IP can grow across platforms and reach audiences that may never have encountered the original game on Steam.”

‍

An official adaptation built for Roblox

‍

The Roblox release was developed by FXFX Studio in direct partnership with Lefto Studio and TARK Games. It is the official Roblox adaptation of BOMBANANA!, created with the involvement of the original IP holders and development team.

‍

Rather than recreating the Steam version one-to-one, the teams approached Roblox as a distinct product. The adaptation preserves BOMBANANA!’s core communication-driven identity while reshaping the experience for Roblox’s audience and platform.

‍

Caner Ataş, Founder of FXFX Studio, said:

‍

“BOMBANANA! has been a proud project for the FXFX Studio team. TARK trusted us to build the official Roblox version, and Lefto created an IP that was genuinely fun to adapt. Our goal was never to make a copy of the Steam game; we wanted to make a real Roblox experience. Seeing the visit numbers, strong like rate and the metrics improve after each update tells us we are on the right track. I’m especially proud of Ozan Eren, Bekir Mert Önsal, Duci and the whole team behind it.”

‍

FXFX Studio developed and operates the official Roblox adaptation in partnership with Lefto Studio and TARK Games, bringing platform-specific Roblox development and live-operations expertise to the project.

‍

Why the Roblox performance matters

‍

For TARK Games, BOMBANANA!’s Roblox performance is an early proof point for a broader publishing strategy: successful independent IP does not need to remain confined to the platform where it first breaks out.

‍

A premium PC title can be reimagined for UGC-driven platforms, reach a new audience and build additional momentum without reducing the adaptation to a conventional port. BOMBANANA!’s early Roblox performance demonstrates that this approach can create meaningful engagement on both sides.

‍

Key proof points

‍

  • 1M+ copies sold on Steam within the first 10 days
  • 1M+ Steam wishlists before launch
  • 6M+ demo players before launch
  • 16M+ visits on the official Roblox adaptation
  • 80K+ Roblox favorites
  • First Steam-native party game to launch an official, purpose-built Roblox adaptation
  • Roblox version developed by FXFX Studio in partnership with Lefto Studio and TARK Games

‍

Following its early successes on Steam and Roblox, BOMBANANA! will be launching on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store on October 9.
