“As our first officially published title, we’ve been thrilled with the success of BOMBANANA!,” said TARK Games Co-Founder, Ilker Ergen. “Lefto Studio is a talented young team that deserves every ounce of the success they’ve generated. The future of gaming is the people, and we at TARK Games are committed to investing in them. I’m proud to call Lefto Studio a trusted partner, and believe me when I say, this is only the beginning.”
BOMBANANA! has continued to win over scores of players with its mix of clever player handicaps, a palpable sense of panic, humor, and sheer replayability. The game’s success is a bold statement of intent from TARK Games, with the publisher looking to build on its debut title by empowering distinctive, independent teams from Türkiye and beyond, providing them with the financing, publishing infrastructure, and international reach they require to compete in the global PC and console market.
