BOMBANANA!’s launch success is no longer limited to Steam. Having sold over a million copies in its first ten days on PC, the game has successfully brought its interactive cooperative chaos game formula to Roblox. The Roblox experience has already garnered over 15 million visits and more than 80,000 favorites.
These numbers transform BOMBANANA!’s Roblox version from a simple extension of its PC release into a significant success in its own right. BOMBANANA! is the first batch of games to launch on Steam and arrive on the platform with an official, Roblox-exclusive port. This creates a new bridge between the premium PC market and one of the world’s largest user-generated gaming ecosystems. The official Roblox port was specifically tailored to the platform’s audience, social behavior, and design language.
From One Successful Group to Another
On Steam, BOMBANANA! became a standout cooperative game, boasting over a million wishlists and more than six million demo players before its release, before selling over a million copies in its first ten days.
In Roblox, the same IP address doesn’t connect with players directly through a port, but rather through a version designed specifically for the platform. Over 15 million visits and more than 80,000 favorites demonstrate that core ideas like communication, teamwork, panic, and comedy among friends can resonate across vastly different player ecosystems.
TARK Games Co-Founder Ilker Ergen stated the following:
“What excites us most is that the Roblox version isn’t just there, it’s actually working as a game on its own. Millions of visits show that BOMBANANA!’s core idea is to connect with a completely different audience without replicating the Steam experience.
“Steam and Roblox are very different ecosystems, especially for indie games. We didn’t want to view Roblox as just a box to be ticked or a classic port. We wanted to create a version that felt native to Roblox, but preserved the communication and chaos that initially drove BOMBANANA!.
It’s significant to be the first party game to launch an official Roblox adaptation from Steam, but what really matters to us is the response from players. This also opens up a new perspective on how standalone IPs can grow across platforms and reach audiences who have never encountered the original game on Steam.”
Officially Enhanced Adaptation for Roblox
The Roblox version was developed by FXFX Studio in direct partnership with Lefto Studio and TARK Games. Created with the participation of the original IP owners and development team, it is the official Roblox adaptation of BOMBANANA!.
Instead of recreating the Steam version exactly, the teams approached Roblox as a separate product. The adaptation preserves BOMBANANA!’s authentic, communicative identity while reshaping the experience to suit Roblox’s audience and platform.
FXFX Studio Founder Caner Ataş said the following:
“BOMBANANA! has become a project we at FXFX Studio are very proud of. TARK trusted us to create the official Roblox version, and Lefto delivered a truly enjoyable IP to adapt. Our goal was never to simply create a copy of the Steam game; we wanted to create a genuine Roblox experience. Seeing the visitor numbers, the strong like rate, and the metrics improving with each update shows that we are on the right track. I am proud of everyone, especially Ozan Eren, Bekir Mert Önsal, Duci, and the entire team behind them.”
FXFX Studio is developing and operating the official Roblox adaptation in partnership with Lefto Studio and TARK Games, bringing platform-specific Roblox development and live operation experience to the project.
Why Roblox Performance Matters
For TARK Games, BOMBANANA!’s Roblox performance is early evidence of a broader publishing strategy: successful indie IPs don’t have to be limited to the platform they first launched on.
A premium PC game can be reimagined for user-generated content platforms without being reduced to a classic port, reaching a new audience and generating additional momentum. BOMBANANA!’s early performance on Roblox demonstrates that this approach can produce meaningful interaction on both sides.
