You can also pick up fruit and other items for bonus points. There are 50 levels in all.<\/p>\n<p>The bad thing is that they took away what made Bomberman fun: the power-ups.\u00a0 So for the whole game, you can only lay one stick of dynamite at a time and the blast radius is always the smallest area.\u00a0 So you can\u2019t chain explosions or lay multiple bombs or anything like that.\u00a0 Heck, even the NES version of Bomberman is more fun than this.\u00a0 Also the game is super short and can be beaten in about an hour or so.\u00a0 Maybe younger players might enjoy this, but anyone else should just stick to Bomberman.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/bomb_screen-5\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-26264\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BOMB_SCREEN.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BOMB_SCREEN.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BOMB_SCREEN-300x222.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/BOMB_SCREEN-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bomb Kitten is rated E for Everyone with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 If you or an enemy gets caught in an explosion or hits something dangerous, you just disappear and start over and that\u2019s it.\u00a0 Reading skill isn\u2019t needed either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Help a mischievous looking kitten use dynamite to blow up blocks and enemies in a grid-like playfield in Bomb Kitten.\u00a0 If this looks and sounds like Bomberman, well, you wouldn\u2019t be blamed for thinking that.\u00a0 Except this game takes out everything that made Bomberman fun.\u00a0 You\u2019ll see what I mean by reading this review.\u00a0 Anyway, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":26263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26265"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26267,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26265\/revisions\/26267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gamerdad.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
