But I love this game. Have for over a year. Thanks for the cool game. ### 4/5 — Fun Little Game *2011-05-19, version 1.7* This game is fun and well worth the $0.99, cool art direction and hey, who doesn't like dropping bombs, blowing up buildings and killing zombies! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2010-12-19, version 1.5* Update makes it crash. ### 2/5 — Fun for a bit... *2010-11-11, version 0* But gets old real quick. Good thing it was free! ### 4/5 — Fun Game! *2010-11-09, version 0* The game is loads of fun but sometimes the bombs are duds. But fun to play nonetheless. Also, please make more levels! ### 2/5 — Level 6 *2010-11-07* Glad they fixed level select bug but a lot of bombs have no effect on building, even more since update. It's fun but that bug really gets annoying... Just finished the game to find nothing at the end, not even a congrats... The news button doesn't work either. Glad to delete it... ### 2/5 — New version *2010-11-06, version 0* Updated to new version and app doesn't load any more. When it worked it was alright. Please fix so I can bomb some more undead ### 3/5 — Cool *2010-11-06* Current: Is it me or did the wind get way more effective and the bombs are a lot weaker. plus I still get a lot of duds.... Version before whatever this one is: I get a lot of dud bombs. Then 4-5 games later the explosion happens taking away one of my bombs. Please fix ### 2/5 — Good concept.....but...... *2010-10-30* Great for a free game. I was ready to give this game a 5/5 until I took a break on a level six board. Then found out I was unable to get back in without doing all the level 5 boards again. Fix this bug and five stars is yours. Thanks ### 4/5 — Fun little game *2010-10-28* I think this is a very fun game,but there is a bug on stage 5 level 5 when u have 2 bombs left thay go off but do not push any thing away plz fix ### 3/5 — Shallow fun but frustrating *2010-10-28* Dropping bombs on cities filled with zombies. Easy enough concept, and in general the game does well. Graphics are quirky but cute and physics appear to work mostly well. Music and sound are a little annoying, but overall the gameplay is simple fun with one exception. Where do bombs drop? Draw a straight line to the ground from the plane, and on the iPad the bomb will drop somewhere between an inch to the right or left of the line. Where in this 2 inch window it actually hits appears to be pretty much random - play the same level again and touch the screen in the exact same place you did last time and the bomb can land 2 inches away. Drop one bomb and it moves to the right as it falls. Drop the next and it moves to the left as it falls. Nothing you do makes any difference on the path the bomb actually makes as it falls. It makes real strategy/tactics mostly useless, since ultimately it becomes a game of luck on exactly where the bombs hit on whether not your game is even winnable. Maybe this was planned in by the developer as a way to make the game more difficult? So overall, fun little harmless game, as long as you don't mind that 75% of the chance you will beat any one level is just blind luck of hitting the randomness added by the programmer. ### 4/5 — Awesome new take on knocking things around *2010-10-27, version 0* One of my favorite types of games. This game is pretty fun ### 1/5 — Cute game, hidden undertones *2010-10-27* I have no idea why this game would have any popularity. There are 2 other demolition games just like this, and better programmers in the store. The subtle retaliation of Japan bombing the US in kind is a good reminder for us of terrible things we've done in the past, and should not forget them. (The sun is a perfect rendition of the Japanese naval imperial flag used during WWII.) We go about our ways working, sleeping, watching TV, zombified by the monotony of life, this game brings to light a lot of things. Aside from the one-sided attacks against a land with no defenses, the buildings are predictable, gameplay boring and without difficulty, the music is a repeating sound byte; this is no more than a "shove $#%t off the screen to win snoozefest. ### 3/5 — Great game, few problems *2010-10-25* This is a great game, but there are a few bugs. Level 6 games are not able to be selected from the map. This causes problems getting back to where you left off. Also there are a few bugs with the dropping of the bombs. 1) sometimes a double tap is detected when there wasn't one and the bomb explodes as soon as it is launched. 2) sometimes the bomb hits the ground, or I tap to cause it to explode and nothing happens. Nothing moves, as if the bomb didn't explode. 3) sometimes when the level starts everything reacts as if the bomb dropped. The two times this occurred for me and I dropped a bomb that bombs explosion did nothing to the buildings. There is also some small bugs where a building sometimes is floating above the ground or doesn't lay exactly on top of the piece below it. Only once or twice did that cause me to fail the level, but it occurs regularly. These are just a few bugs that I noticed. Overall this game is very well produced. Great physics involved with the wind, dropping of the bomb and every piece reacting. For the full version being free right now, i would definitely suggest that people pick this up. Even if it is a few dollars. This is a developer that should be supported. I just hope that they will correct these bugs soon. Great work and keep it up developers! ### 2/5 — Need fixing... *2010-08-31* Selecting level 6 maps is broken. Decent game but frustrating you can't continue where you left off. I have to select level 5 and work those maps again to get back to where I was. What happens if I quit on map 6-2? I have to start a map in level 5! Bummer for sure. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be good *2017-10-24* Used to be good, now peppered with adverts. Adverts between levels. Adverts on launch. Adverts adverts adverts. ### 1/5 — Fun game but way too many ads *2016-11-14, version 3.4.1* I really enjoy this game and have played it for years, however, the ads have gotten to be just too much. It was bare-able when it was every few levels, but now it's every time I clear a level. Plus the screen is too large for iPad. Sometimes I can't tell where something is blocking my ability to clear the level because it is somewhere on the sides and doesn't show on the screen. Note to the developer, will you fix the issues please. I'd even be willing to pay for a version that works right and has no ads. It seems to me that if you can take the time to add in the code for more and different ads, you should be able to at least fix long running problems with game play. If nothing else you might even be able to make more off the ads if you fixed it because the rating would then go up and more people would play. ### 1/5 — Used to be great *2016-11-09* Now some completely unrelated "mini-game" wants to load before each level. Wish there were a way to undo updates. ### 1/5 — Joke *2015-09-27* I paid for this app and i still get spammed with ads and then the app crashes all of the time . Its a shame there more worried about money than a good app ### 1/5 — Deleted after 30 seconds *2015-08-29* No in game instructions and shallow game mechanics. ### 1/5 — Amazing concept, great graphics, buggy game and ads! *2015-08-18* The game is basically structured to force you to watch adverts. All the time. Almost as much as you're watching the game screen. The hit boxes of the zombies are skewed and instead of squishing them 99% of the time you 'blow them away' off the screen where you can't see them and they are still considered alive and thus mission fail. ### 1/5 — Ads, in an app I paid for? *2015-07-26* I paid for this app and never had to see a single ad. Now, after coming back to it after a while I find ads with every level change. Sorry, not happening loser - deleted and done. ### 1/5 — What did you Doooo! *2015-07-11* The game is terrible. Last update doesn't fix my iPad screen. Too big. And the advertisements on every screen change. I'm done! Deleted game. I hate, hate, hate! Bye bye! ### 1/5 — Used to be fun *2014-03-20, version 3.2* Since the last update, it's now an ads fest. ### 1/5 — Good idea, doesn't work. *2011-06-28, version 2.1* You'd think the bombs would drop down from where you tapped, but they don't -- instead they randomly drop places. Good concept, terrible design flaw. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC FREEBEE *2014-06-28, version 3.2* GREAT, GREAT GAME, FANTASTIC GRAPHICS. THANK YOU WONDERFUL FOLKS BEHIND THIS APP FOR A VERY NICE GIFT. ### 5/5 — Way fun *2012-12-27, version 2.2* What a fun and enjoyable app this is. Reminds me of when I was a kid and did this same thing by drawing on paper instead of paying attention in class. Get it! ### 5/5 — 🇯🇵 *2012-06-10* This game is kinda like the bombing of hiroshima and Nagasaki retaliation, there is obviously the rising sun in the background, and it's a bit easy. Also: it is ridiculously fun ### 5/5 — Lot's of Action *2010-10-30, version 0* Game is simple but fun to play. Plenty of action. Nice job! ### 5/5 — Fun & Cute *2010-10-29, version 0* I liked it. Fun, challenging without being impossible. I'm not a gamer but found this an entertaining diversion. Took me a few evenings to finish. Graphics are quaint / cute but gameplay is good. Suggestions: new levels, or let users build their own levels. Optionally - set a designated "drop bomb" button instead of the whole screen... I had a few bombs wasted from accidentally touching the edge of the screen etc. Cheers! ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2010-08-11* Changed my review from 4 to five stars after spending more time playing. Game can get to be addicting. ### 5/5 — Blowing stuff up ... *2010-08-09, version 0* Pure fun! ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2010-08-08* Fun game, and quite challenging. Just the first level alone took me a few tries to get the building level down low enough. Responsive developer too. ### 5/5 — love this app!!!!!!! *2010-08-06* been playing for a month or so and continually go back to it, it is too much fun. I love when the zombies go flying accross the the screen. some occasional control problems, the obliteration line doesn't seem to line up with the fallen buildings, but this is generally rare, also sometimes at the begining of a level a bomb will drop without having done anything and then once i drop the next one the explosion doesn't do anything. minor problems in an otherwise great game, buy it! ### 5/5 — Great game small bug *2010-05-06* Of all games in this genre this is easily my favorite. I find other games like this a bit boring but this one is fun to watch and has nice sounds as well. Small bug...I like to explode the bombs just before they hit the ground and once in a while one will explode graphically and make an explosion sound though no damage is done to any buildings, nothing moves, a dud. Still 5 stars. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
