Bomb the Suburbs (mobile edition)

     
no data.

An iconoclastic ode to 8-bit anarchy. A pixelated reflection of an aimless, angry generation raised on a steady diet of vacuously violent popular entertainment. The title also serves as an homage to William "Upski" Wimsatt's book by the same name.

The new improved edition of Bomb the Suburbs for mobile devices brings the firebombing fun and excitement to a whole new generation. No longer constrained to the living room, players can engage in the digital destruction wherever they find themselves with their Java™ technology-enabled phones. Skillfully negotiate the monotonous suburban blocks, and take out as many houses as you can to increase your score! Out of molotov cocktails? No problem, just head to the gas station. Keep an eye out for Ritalin when you need that extra speed boost to avoid 5-0, but steer clear of the Prozac. After you take out all the convenience stores, it's time to head for the mall!

Designed for all ages and skill levels, Bomb the Suburbs delivers extreme fun to your fingertips. Available soon from finer mobile service providers nationwide.
