Looking for some feedback on my game/site SatoshiSquares.com

[SatSquares]

I'm having trouble accessing your website...
[snip]

I had the similar problem; I thought the website might not be supported on my country. Today I've tried again, everything is fine but only the tutorial button does not work. I think they are still in the under-developing phase.

Yep, server went down.  Found the bug and fixed it.

I think the website has something against VPN or maybe it is totally unrelated but in the end I can tell you that I can't even test the website. The homepage opens but when I click on the demo it doesn't do anything, then I said maybe it requires me to have an account so I tried to register but even after filling everything it asked me to fill and I clicked "create an account" afterwards, nothing happens, the website just basically stays still.

So neither I could test it without an account, nor I can open an account. Maybe that is because I am using VPN or maybe it is unrelated, I don't know the main reason unfortunately but that is what I am having trouble with right now. Just wanted to inform in case there is something you can do about it and fix it from this feedback.

Feature Idea:

Disable Animation option (maybe call it 'turbo mode' or something) so players can get through more games in less time.

I'm interested in all feedback, comments, critiques of my site SatoshiSquares.com.  

You can play the demo version without registering, however if you do register, comment below with the screenname you registered with and I'll deposit some bits into your account.

Love to hear your thoughts.  Thanks

if it's still going my username on there is the same as onsite: gmdever .  Just judging by the appearance of the site it will be a good one
Edit: got 50 bits (thanks! .  Going to see how well this goes

Not sure why that would be at the moment, I'll take a look.  about 6-12 hours ago the server was down such that what you experienced makes sense ( I don't have a "can't communicate with server" screen up yet ), but if this happened to you recently then I'll need to check out what happened.

Great idea, I'm definitely going to implement this!  Thanks!

You're welcome, hope you enjoy it.  Love to hear your thoughts.

Ok so the site works and it's amazing.  Will probably deposit out of my own funds once you can bet higher.  Two small issues I saw were the following: #1 google Recaptcha stays there even after login and while it's not in the way it might be on a mobile or small-screened device? #2 after you lose everything it doesn't stop autoplay.  Not an exploit as you can't play but it requires refreshing the page to fix.

You're right, the Recaptcha symbol takes a bit too much of the screen on mobile.  And thanks for pointing out that autoplay error, just fixed it.  Thanks for testing!

I tried accessing this site on an iPhone 5S (yes I Know old) using iOS 10 and it just shows a blank screen, doesn't load at all. This was with Safari which is the included browser with the phone. I noticed somebody earlier didn't have any issues with their android phone so I am surprised it doesn't load for me.

There are still many people out there with phones older than an iPhone 6 and you are missing out on potential traffic if the site doesn't load correctly on their mobile device. I am assuming that 50% or so people these days just play off their mobile devices and not on a traditional computer like an PC or laptop.

Either way, the site looks good. Keep up the good work being an active dev and you site should become more and more popular in the future.

Thanks for the encouragement, and for the details of your trying the site out on your iPhone.  I've actually been testing on an iPhone 5S as well, though it's using iOS 12.  But you're not the first to mention that they get a blank screen, so it's another helpful data point.  Thanks!

Tested on Safari + Brave on iPadOS, loads fine.

One thing, perhaps you might want to strengthen the password requirements? Instead of 2/ 3, make all mandatory, or add a symbol too.

That way, not even Satoshi can hack

[kryptqnick]

Yeah, it seems to be working fine now. I went through the tutorial at first, and then moved to playing the game. It's quite simple but also unique which is a good thing on a market where people mainly offer the same stuff. So after playing a couple of times I developed a strategy which also seems to show the weakness of this website. You make the first step, into the first or second square; then you see which ones are safe in the future. So yeah, you can die at the beginning, but if you don't get bold, you can then step on the safe ones till the end of the game...? Or do those which used to be the green ones actually change into red ones sometimes in the next step? Edit: after playing more, I noticed it happens sometimes, so I guess everything is fine.
What could be useful, I think, is add the info on the chances of winning anything to when a person chooses the level. It would be convenient, so that one can assess the potential profit vs the odds of getting there rightaway. Oh, just now I've realized that these numbers about 'easy' and 'extreme' already give some idea of that, but perhaps it's not just me not noticing it immediately. And still, these are the changes per step, so to speak, not the chance of winning the game, right...?
I also liked how easy the fairness check is on your website, and that you even made a tutorial on how it works.
What you could add to the website is the chat, so that players can communicate.
The game's nice, but I believe the website's design is a bit simplistic. If it looked more professional, I am sure that more people would be interested in playing.

[msarro]

already opened the site. I haven't tried it, maybe I'll try later. I will only give a little criticism for the design. I think there must be a change of appearance design, it does not mean bad, this is good! but it would be better if the display was made to be more elegant

Thanks for taking time to look at it and respond.  Curious, to know if you viewed it on desktop or moblie?

that the responses and input that I provide may be useful  . I looked through desktop mode.

Sounds like you figured a few things out on your own.  I added a few more questions/answers to the FAQ that may answer some of your questions, let me know if I didn't quite answer them.  Seems like a lot of players want chat, so I'll put that on the list.  We'll see if I can get it professional looking soon, thanks for taking your time to give me feedback.

Thanks, the site looks a little better on desktop than on mobile, so was just curious.

iPadOS means its an iPad and generally many website which aren't mobile versions have no problems loading the entire site on an iPad, because unlike a phone, its easy to navigate the entire page since the screen is much bigger.

I am wondering if anyone with a newer phone and newer iOS can see if it works. I tried to clear cache but it still doesn't load, I had this issue before on many of these gambling sites and usually doing a quick history clear, and it will start right up, however for Satoshisquares it still doesn't load.

So if the admin wants to investigate there is some emulator you can use and it can pretend to be an iPhone and see if you can get the site to load on that. If it still doesn't load then maybe its an issue mostly with iPhones or with the Safari web browser that is included.

Well, it really depends. Excluding Safari, some sites fail to load properly on the Brave browser for the iPad. Kinda frustrating having to alternate between the two.

By right, iOS 10 should still be able to load most sites without any issues since it's not like totally ancient yet (last update was 7 months ago). That's the sad thing though, not all devs have the access to an expensive fruit device.

This link shows what browsers my site should support.  I made some changes so that it should work on a wider range of browsers, including iOS 10, though since I can't test it, I don't know for sure.  

adaseb, if you can, give it a try and let me know if anything changes for you.  For fun I dusted off my old iphone 4 and, not too surprised, the site didn't load.  

But I believe I mentioned earlier, that I have an iphone 5s with iOS 12 that I've tested with, and the site worked fine before the changes, but iOS 12 is also included on the list in the link, where iOS 10 isn't.

Not sure why that would be at the moment, I'll take a look.  about 6-12 hours ago the server was down such that what you experienced makes sense ( I don't have a "can't communicate with server" screen up yet ), but if this happened to you recently then I'll need to check out what happened.

It seems to happen again. So far I've only tried to access the site and it's slow. Reload several times and finally wait for approximately 4 minutes to load the home page (via chrome and firefox).
If this is a server problem, it might be better to choose a better server to serve users who are likely to increase in the future.

This time I don't have an excuse.  I don't think it's the server itself, it's up and running fine, more likely something wrong with my own implementation.  Thanks for letting me know!
