Yes, it is.  It's an ncurses game where you drop bombs on buildings.  
It's also tiny.

Why not?

I just tried it and it seems like an OK curses game. Not much mental depth
but it certainly seemed playable.

Bloody addictive, actually.  I find it a good time-waster, like Tetris 
or Frozen Bubble.  Which is why I packaged it in the first place. :)

I thought of Tetris while trying it out. I only did one play without reading
the instructions. I did't figure out the scoring, but did realize that I needed
to take out the tall stacks first. But I wasn't very good at it and had lost
some time figuring it out and so I didn't get very far down the screen.

I've been playing it for years, and am horrible at it.  I think I've got 
to the bottom twice. :)
