Bomb Club

Parents need to know that Bomb Club is a puzzle game for iOS and Android devices. The name of the game refers to a group comprised of several characters who narrate the game, offering periodic instructions, and is described as "a society of people who enjoy making bombs and watching them blow up." Although the characters, and some written materials, mention the club being against violence, the main point of the game is to blow things up, which can be a questionable message for younger players. Bombs are purposely placed near each other to explode as many as possible at one time, and they're shown erupting in a blaze of fire. The bombs are almost additional characters in the game, with facial features that sometimes take on a slightly panicked look before they explode. The game is free, has no ads, and there's nothing players can buy with points or other in-app currency they've earned. The app's store only sells one thing -- a few additional levels of the game, for $0.99 each, which the developer says are difficult and should be played after all other levels have been completed.
