Reception

The game has had "generally favourable reviews", garnering a Metacritic score of 86% based on 5 critic reviews.

CommonSensemedia gave the game a rating of 5/5 stars, and compared the game to Angry Birds and Bloons. The site commented "... this one is based around realistic-looking explosives (as opposed to exploding cartoon birds or balloon-popping darts) and your targets are human. The animation is cartoony—some might even say 'cute'—and there's no blood.
