I tried it as well.  Mac Plus, System 6.0.2, 1 meg.
I installed it, rebooted.  After about two minutes of
furious disk action, Bomb ID 02.  Had to reboot with
another disk to remove it.

Granted, I did have two things installed directly in the
System heap, Programmer's Online Companion and Fade to
Black.  Nonetheless, I'd have to agree that it needs
more debugging.

Worse yet, there was only a mailing address and no
e-mail address to send bug reports.  (No, I'm
not going to send a letter off since it's not the
least bit usable in the state it's in...)
