‘Exploding Kittens’ for iOS Debuts with Free In-App Purchases Promo

If you’re a fan of The Oatmeal, then you probably are aware of Exploding Kittens, a boardgame created by the comic’s founder Matthew Inman, plus his friends Shane Small (Xbox, Marvel) and Elan Lee (Xbox, ARGs).

The boardgame became the most-funded game in Kickstarter history, raising $8.78 million last February from nearly 220,000 backers. Exploding Kittens launched on iOS today, and right now a promo offers free in-app purchases for a limited time (Party Expansion Pack; Animals/Food Avatar Packs) . This bonus has now boosted the app to the Top Paid app spot in Canada in less than a day.

I’ve never played the mobile game, but the actual card game is pretty fun. Even better if you’re a cat lovers with a somewhat crude sense of humour.

This increase is bananas. I bought Crashlands at the hefty price of $6.99 (WELL WORTH IT) but then it’s $4.99 USD? We are at a 40% markup?

Listen, the loonie is terrible right now, but not THAT bad. Ffs give me a break, at this rate I’m going to be snapping up far fewer anythings, it’s crazy.

“Animals/Food Avatar Pack?” I couldn’t find that anywhere, just the Party Expansion Pack. How can I get the animal/food avatar pack for free before the promo ends?
