BOMBANANA! Controls, Emotes and Controller Support

Controller support

Confirmed by Lefto Studio in the official FAQ:

• Xbox controllers
• PlayStation DualSense and DualShock 4
• Generic XInput controllers

Steam also lists the game as having full controller support, plus keyboard-only and mouse-only options. Steam Deck is supported — the studio confirmed it directly.

Emotes

Every player has an emote wheel with hand gestures and animations. This is not decoration: for the mute monkey it is most of their communication bandwidth, since they are the only one who can read the manual and the only one who cannot speak.

Voice-synced mouth animations were added at launch, so when a player talks their monkey's mouth moves — in the lobby and in game.

Slapping

Players can slap each other. The studio's own launch notes call it "Obviously an essential feature." There are three Steam achievements tied to it, which tells you how much they expected people to use it.

Colourblind mode

Two types of colour blindness are supported, with colours adapted across both objects and the UI. Given how much of this game is one player reading colours aloud, it is worth turning on before you need it.

To be confirmed: the default keyboard bindings and whether they can be remapped in game. We have not been able to confirm this from an official source and would rather leave it blank than guess.
