Evaluation

Bulanci left Early Access and launched its full 1.0 release on September 21, 2023. At that time, the developer published a statement noting that "the work on the game is far from finished" and referenced a roadmap promising new environments (including Battlefield and Maze), an editor, a campaign, and console releases. The game then received a series of updates: a UI overhaul in February 2024, a hotfix in March 2024, and a Nintendo Switch launch in December 2023. The most significant post-launch content drop was the Battlefield DLC, which released on September 27, 2024, introducing a new environment with new gameplay mechanics (trenches, a heavy rotating machine gun, aerial bombs, and an ice storm system). That Battlefield DLC appears to be the fulfillment of the major content promise made at launch — the developer had specifically named "Battleground" as a planned environment in a December 2023 post, and the Battlefield DLC matches that description exactly. All five DLC items are now marked as released, with Battlefield being the last to ship. Since September 27, 2024, there have been no further developer communications, no announced upcoming content, no unreleased DLC entries, and no roadmap pointing to additional content. The developer has not made any post-Battlefield statements about future plans. The last developer communication of any kind was the Battlefield DLC launch post on September 27, 2024. The gap from that date to today (June 22, 2026) is substantial — nearly 21 months — well beyond any update cadence this game has established. With two major content releases over the game's lifetime and no signals of further development, the content cycle appears to have concluded with the Battlefield DLC.

About this game

Did you know that your pillows engage in ruthless battles when you’re not in your bedroom? It’s true. Also, it’s possible that the pillows you sleep on are already dead. They call themselves Bulanci, and even though they look defenceless at night, experts call them EAP – Extremely Aggressive Pillows.

What does Bulanci offer?

  • A quick, action-packed, funny party shooter
  • Up to 8 players on one device
  • Easy to understand, for both adults and children (7+)
  • The return of a 2001 cult-classic shooter (16 mil. downloads)
  • Possible to play solo/coop in both online and offline multiplayer
  • Customize your character – choose the color, appearance, pattern, and small accessories such as helmet, sunglasses, or headphones with DLC Hero Factory
  • Discover more information about the soft Bulanci nation in the history book
  • Developed for PC, consoles (Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox), tablets, and mobiles

Game modes

The game can be played in various game modes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and Elite Training. The first three will lighten up every party, because you can play them with up to 8 friends on one device. You can also play them online via P2P. Your online score is added up and helps you climb up the leaderboard of the best players.
The Elite Training mode is meant for a single player, allowing you to improve your skills and feats in order to become an experienced Bulanci warrior.

Deathmatch
A battle to the death. It’s not as bad as it sounds, though. Each eliminated player will respawn after a while to keep fighting. The basic weapon has only five rounds and takes a long time to reload. This is why it’s necessary to use tactics and try to get some of the bonus weapons which randomly appear on the battlefield. At the end, the score is calculated and the best player is announced. Also, a matching animation of the Bulanci hero is displayed based on the results.

Team Deathmatch
Purely a team game mode. Teams of players try to eliminate their opponents from the game within a specified time. The winning team is the one that reaches the higher score.

Capture the Flag
Players on both teams try to capture the opponent's flag and bring it back to their base. The first team to succeed wins. Bonus weapons are found in caches on the battlefield. If someone takes them, they secure equipment for their entire team. It’s not always an advantage, though. Imagine trying to annihilate your opponent in a duel, but your weapon is replaced with a mine from a bonus cache…

Elite training
Try to beat your own high score on the training grounds. Your opponents will be 3 tough computer players, but have no fear. There will be several special bonuses to help you get the upper hand. With unlimited ammo, invulnerability shield, bonus time, or invisibility, you will certainly show them what you can do. You can compare your final score with your local leaderboard, but you can also compare your high score from each training map online with other players..

As soon as you close your eyes


It's time to sleep when darkness falls,
Enjoy your dreams during the night.
Yet you want more, the game still calls,
But that is simply not right.

Your bedroom drowns in complete silence,
The calm being deceptively nice.
You hear the screams, you feel the violence,
As soon as you close your eyes.

If you get up, there is no end,
no reward, either, no glory.
Better stay off, don’t fight, my friend,
Wait for another story.

Life is not easy, life is no fun,
Bulánci will tuck you in bed.
But before that, they’ll grab a gun
And make sure that you're dead.
