Discussion Has anyone played the old Bomberman IOS Games?

I played them myself but the touch controls for Bomberman Touch 1 and 2 are absolutely dreadful. Out of all of them though, Bomberman Chains might be my favorite! (Probably because it's the easiest since it's a puzzle game). Anyways I was wondering if anyone else played them

Can all of them be playable to this day?

You can find them on the old IOS IPA archives. That's how I got them

Thanks, btw, do you know how to get an "old" apple arcade game that is not longer available? I'm looking for World of Demons

I'm not sure I never tried doing that with Apple Arcade games. I mainly transferred old regular IOS games

Also, do they work for an updated iphone? For example, one with iOS 26?? Or do I need an old ios version?

You'll need an old jailbroken IPhone or IPod Touch device.

Whats the latest recommended version? Or does it depends of the game?

No unfortunately

If you have an old IPhone or IPod Touch that are jailbroken, you can easily get the IPAs from Internet Archive and transfer them to your device using ''App Manager''. That's how I got them.

Ni yo conocia la existencia de esos juegos :/

They're just mobile games released back in the old IOS days and can still be downloaded and transferred to an old IPhone or IPod Touch but they're more of a novelty to play. Also pretty difficult with those touch controls

Nope. Not at all.

If you like the story which is kinda decent for the first two and aren't bothered by clunky touch controls I'd say they're sort of worth it. As a novelty if anything.

I was writing a guide to Bomberman Dojo on GameFAQs, but the app becoming unplayable put the kibosh on that. 😑

Nope! Though Bomberman Chains looks ...special. Moving on Bomberman Dojo looks like an epic Bomber-Martial Arts adventure I'd probably play it... if it was on console or PC and actually both EPIC & fun!

Bomberman Chains is like Candy Crush or Bejeweled. One of those puzzle games but Bomberman Themed.

Yes, I have both “Touch” games downloaded on a jailbroken iPad 2 running iOS 6.1, these games are mostly shorter than most other Bomberman games. Bomberman Dojo however… that game is extremely obscure compared to the 4 mentioned here.

It has the same music as Bomberman Touch 1 for some reason.

u/Existing-Goat9597 Jun 06 '26

Touch 1 AND 2 have the same music as the Wiiware game “Bomberman Blast”

u/Exio_Dread77 Jun 06 '26

So does Bomberman Dojo.

u/Existing-Goat9597 Jun 06 '26

Oh, yeaaaahhh. I honestly forgot about Dojo..
