Battlecoin.org - Multiplayer bomberman clone

[holorga]

epic games! i like the pixel concept and idea on bomberman feel like in 90's!. i just registered and played quick match to test how it works unfortunately it's very hard to play since the game is not responsive. it's like laggy move , would be better if you add onscreen pad or whatever thing that can make it faster respond/responsive. Goodluck!

thanks! about game being slow - this is a ping issue. (check that small number on the left side of the screen, under your server name. if ping is under 50, should work ok) to help mitigate this for more people I added US and Asian servers.

I will add an onscreen pad for touch devices yes, the game works really well on android, just need to make the controls.



also, getting some good info from people playing in the last few days, thanks everyone!
a lot of bugs have been fixed and a lot of small features implemented (faq added, server display next to nicknames, and some such)

Just tried it now, why haven't I seen this one before. Really liked the interface, no lag issues, and I just love this game.
I think I will probably give it a go. I don't have much time now, just tried to solo mode, I really hope there is a decent player base, so I can play vs others.

thanks! polishing things up in the next few days, and getting ready to start getting more players with advertising and tournaments for bigger bitcoin rewards, we'll anounce it on our fb (https://www.facebook.com/btclab) or twitter (https://twitter.com/BitcoinLab) if you'd like to be notified.

hmm I wonder how you will do this. Like point and click? Or trace a path for it. I'm so used to play it on keyboard, that I don't know how it will go on a touch screen. "I like" when I get stuck because I pressed the wrong key, it's part of the skill, and I think that will go away with a touch device.
Need to try it though. Playing it on my phone/tablet would be great.

yeah, I won't do path tracing (like wherever you move the finger the player goes) it would change the playing experience too much.

I think I'll do a hovering semi-transparent gamepad, but also you can just drag the finger in the direction you want the player to go. I think. I'll experiment, need to get a tablet

(this won't help with the responsiveness though, players just need to be close to the game servers and have good interent connectons / not download anything)

Your game looks great and its a simple game that kids can do it play.. But for now you need to put bot as enemy in vs game mode While waiting for real human enemy..
Is just my suggestion..

I think the main thing is to play for bitcoin, and you can't do that with a bot..
also, work on a bot would I think take longer then work to get more players in , I count on tournaments to bring more people.

Is just for a selection if there is no other player that you can fight you can choose Player vs computer mode (bitcoin involve) while waiting to another player that want to fight to another player...

can't really find a way to make it balanced, a good player could come and take 1000 bitcoin, or it would be unbeateable.

It seems that there is a bug where sometime the player can't leave the game. (in the waiting room)

yeah, noticed it, will restart the server to clear this

Just checked out the new site update, very slick look couldn't be much better.

When people join a game if they dont click ready within a certain time does the system boot them out?

[katerniko1]

glad to see game is now getting working up with deposits
ill try to find someone to play with
regards.

it doesn't kick them, but yes, that's totally required I'm working on a 'vote kick' feature today, together with some other small things.

then rematch and 'join next match' buttons and some kind of persistent chat with ppl you play with

[holorga]

very very happy to see people on the site!
submit bug reports/feature requests!

Absolutely awesome! Some games have crashed a few times on my but awesome game!

You need any servers in the UK, let me know I've got 2 UK data centres (One is under development), speed from EU server side is good tho

Is there any sound effects in the game itself?

[LiteCoinGuy]

cool idea. games and bitcoin are a natural fit.

sound would be nice 

good luck with that project!

I really like the new layout but even with US and EU servers it is horrible lag for me, any chance of a Australasia server ?

definetely, there is a server in Tokyo now, its not good for you?
should probably start one in australia and see if it gets any players
