Saj Ishaq wrote on PlayFTW's public Facebook page, "You disgust me"
"Utterly shameful. Real people, many of them children, are dying in Gaza," wrote one commenter George Coote, according to The Guardian. "Many of those who haven't been killed face life with debilitating injuries, bereavement and without homes. Their suffering is as real as yours or mine, and to make light of it like this speaks of your essential failure as a human. Shame on the creators of this game, and those who 'play' it."
"Please take this off the Play store. It is offensive and I am really let down that Google actually allowed this. If this game isn't removed I'm starting a Google boycott," Oma Al, a user, wrote on the game's review page, according to the Guardian.
BombGaza doesn't appear to be in any other app stores; and if it does re-surface, it'll likely be removed just as quickly as it was from Google Play.
