The game is great fun. ### 4/5 — Curiously addictive *2015-04-14, version 1.1.1* This is a quirky little game. All you have to do is react fast enough to take your finger off the screen before the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch (cf. Monty Python and the Holy Grail) explodes. You then progress to the next round where the reaction limit between the blessed and the damned is that much tighter. There's only one round of play per day so it's perfect if you're juggling roles as a busy mum, soldier of fortune and leader of a small European country like myself. ### 5/5 — O LORD.. *2014-10-30* O LORD, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy. ### 4/5 — Seems fun! But... *2014-07-12* Am I doing something wrong? I can't seem to get to level 2 everyday I play I'm always playing level 1... Not like my level but the game level.... And it keeps wanting me to practice... ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2014-06-10* Can't get enough. Need more players so we can archive salvation. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2014-06-10, version 1.1* The daily tournament is a really good feature, and brings me back for more every time, wish it was more popular though so the leaderboards were bigger. ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2014-06-09* It's really fun, and the whole game is a huge Monty Python reference. ### 5/5 — Don't let the douches below fool you *2014-05-27* Who gives a crap if it requires Facebook or not? Is it really that important that you freaks leave a scathing 1 star review? Get over yourselves. They updated the app to where you don't need Facebook to play. Update your ratings because the game is really fun and challenging too. I'm really sick of whiney reviewers on this store. There really should be some sort of requirement to leave a review on the app store besides being a whiney 12 year old. ### 1/5 — Game is crap *2014-05-10* Don't get this game, it requires Facebook to play-and even then it takes hours to find people. Doesn't even deserve one star. ### 1/5 — What douchebaggery is this? *2014-05-03* Facebook required or you can't play. ## Frequently asked questions about The Holy Hand Grenade ### What is the gameplay like in The Holy Hand Grenade?
