⚡Satoshi Strike - An online tank battle game where you can earn sats ⚡

I hear you regarding more screenshots / demos as well as a couple other features like leaderboards, etc.

I will be working on improving the game and be back once it is more polished

Since you made the announcement thread, this is your second post. I think you need to be more active on your thread to collaborate with forum users. I am curious to know if your site is still developing more. If so, when will it be fully functional, and when will gamblers try it?

How are you going to onboard more gamblers, like with some promos and giveaways? To be honest, you need a good marketing strategy to attract more gamblers. Hope you have a solid plan to make it successful.

PS: I can't seem to find how to add a screenshot here, plz help

You've made a browser game, but you don't know how to post images/screenshots on a forum? This seems weird.
Make screenshots of the game, upload them to an Image sharing website like Imgur and post the links here, or use the Image tags
with the Image URL to post the screenshot.

Also, what is this?

After paying, do not refresh or close your browser until the game ends, otherwise funds will be lost.

Can you solve this issue?

Putting a basic browser game behind a paywall(even though it's 50 satoshi) won't bring you many players. I wouldn't even bother using Lightning Wallet and spending 50 satoshi if I don't know how the game looks like and how many active players are using the game.

This projects kinda reminds me an old NES game where the player took control of one tank and was supposed to take down the enemy tanks in a battle field, it was quite a basic but addictive game which could hook anyone up for hours and hours. Though, I have a couple of problems with this project:

It seems rather skill based than luck based, so I am not sure it belongs to the gambling section of the forum or the development section of the forum. Also, the fact one could lose one's deposit so easily by closing ones browser before the match is over is definitely a problem. Even though we are talking about just a few Satoshis, losing money for something as simple as closing ones browser should not be possible to happen in a project which needs to earn the trust of their potential gamblers.

I will continue to take a look at this thing, and if it improves in those aspects, I will definitely give it a try in a demo versión before depositing.

Hi all

This is my first post on this forum. I hope I chose the right category for this. If not, apologies and happy to move the post wherever it belongs.

I have been diving into bitcoin lightning development lately and created a browser game where you battle with tanks against other players.
You pay a small fee to enter and can win part of a larger pot if you win. It's pretty self-explanatory (WASD to move, mouse click to shoot) and also quite addictive 

To play you just need a bitcoin lightning wallet (that ideally supports LNURL withdraw). Also, the game is currently only optimized and really playable on desktop and there is no mobile version yet.

Happy to hear what you think!

This is a brilliant idea for a game, but I think un_rank is perfectly correct with what he has said, there are many reasons why this game (whether it be interesting and addictive or not) won't fly..
And un_rank mentioned two reason, one being the issue of no demo version for a test, and second being the site which we are not sure of it's security..

Another I want to add is the fact that this game isn't available on mobile..
And another issue again is the game being strictly for those who have conversed themselves in the setup and use of the bitcoin lightening network, there are not very many people who use lightening network this days even though this project have been on for a very long time...

So I would say that if you really want to develop a bitcoin game, then come up with something every bitcoin user gets an opportunity to try out, you did get a lot of users if the game you come up with is very interesting to play.

This is my 2 cent and good luck.

True, being very active would give members the confidence that OP is doing his best to make sure they are attended to, and this would build trust that OP's customer service would be reliable to handle situations as they arise in the community. If OP feels he can not be able to meet up with interacting with the community and keeping the thread engaged with the community members, OP should hire the services of a member here who could help OP till as a team member to making sure the community is attended to and their contributions or question of inquiry are properly noted to be looked into by the team. As for publicity, it is nice that OP puts that into account because without it, the traffic would not be generated as much as expected, and that would be a little challenging for the game to grow and become popular.

Just some bump!

What happened into this site? Checking it out and seeing only 1 player is online on which this do basically means that the interest is just that somewhat anticipated.
There were no further updates nor responses into this thread about people been giving out some advises. One of the reality on here is that these kind of games that
needs up for you to make out some deposit and having that waiting game does really give out that kind of being impatient. There were not game previews too on which at least giving out some glimpse
on what the game looks like.

With small projects such as this, there's a good chance it's just something people do on the side along with their full time job and other things. Following on that, there could be limited time and resources that may lead to slower updates or worse, project could be neglected for a long time or forever.

I noticed op was online this month, though. Probably, to check on this thread. Their last update was they're working on improving the platform.

I guess we'll know for sure once they post an update or the platform continues to be stagnant/shutdown.

Provably it is since if the owner of this project do this for full time then for sure that he can do something to provide good updates and also he can market this so well.

We see some good potential of this project but it seems OP is lacking with resources that's why he didn't manage to do those necessary things to do.

If they continue to be like this for sure that no players will get attracted to play on their platform. Then maybe same with other casino or project didn't maximize their exposure they might also fail especially they didn't meet what they expect to happen.

We cant be able to tell whether this site has already been that fully operational since OP didnt mention about having some updates in regarding about developments or add ups into this site.
Just like been said that the last response was made a month ago on which signifies that this project might be that being abandoned just because he had seen that there's no much demand into this.
If there were players who had been caught up on playing into this platform at the time that this had been advertised then maybe up to now we are seeing some numbers playing but this isnt the
case that we are currently seeing but rather the opposite. I wont be shocked nor surprised that this will close soon.

I think this is more suitable for newbies to this forum, Also I am not used to using lightning network yet, I am not a fan of those games because it seems like I will not be able to play
there because you only have 1 player on your website platform.

And I also think that it has been a long time or several months that it seems like you are not doing any development on your website games
in my opinion and observation.

Thank you for keeping us updated, OP, and glad you are taking the members’ suggestions seriously and working on implementing them.
But can you give us an ETA on when these changes and new features will be available?
Also, is it safe for users to keep playing on your website in the meantime, since I see it’s still accepting deposits, or should they just wait until the updates are fully implemented?

Good luck with your work!

Hi, the game has been operational the whole time and playing was always safe (as safe as it can be in an alpha version). I am nearing completion of a major update. Some last testing is happening in a smaller circle and then I will make a longer intro post about it again.

EDIT: Should I make a new thread for the announcement or do you recommend writing here?

Hi, I am working on this in my free time The project is very much alive and not abandoned. Regarding marketing of it, I absolutely agree. I'd be open to collaborations in this area!

[Smartvirus]

That’s one hell of a plan field for a start. Upon accessing the site, you a met with a blatant login or register on a blue screen and yellow/white designed fields. Now that leaves a lot on the mind of gamers to decide on. You really need some destructions on the page to provide gamers with a clue on what to expect and informations on what the game is about. It’s a little discouraging as it is and that’s from the feel I have about it

Fees might be low but, gamers would need a feel of it through demo before they could decide on how to go about registering and depositing on the site. Possibly, an idea of what the collective funds might be and the sharing or earning formula.

I think you should listen to the suggestions that others here are giving you, after all, this is also for the improvement of your platform, and it is also right what some say that you should develop your marketing strategy properly so that you can attract more crypto gambling communities.

At least the fact that you are welcoming criticism towards you also shows that you are really serious about improving your casino for the gambling community here.

I like the idea, using retro game to gamble with other players.
I tried it on my mobile phone played with training bot, got destroyed easily might be hard to play on phone but I enjoyed it.
It's fun and addictive great way to pass the time.

[DYING_S0UL]

I just had a match with the bot and I must say the game was quite addictive ...man seriously good job. Everything was plain and simple, really liked that old school classic retro theme you have tried to implement here. Brought back some memories.
Small suggestion, add a 2-3 second cooldown or invincible moment before the game starts. I couldn't even react in the first couple of tries. Didn't even see where the bomb was coming from, LOL.

I wasn’t aware of this. The last time I checked, I couldn’t log in but that was over a month ago, my bad!

I think you should improve the login/register a bit by separating them into two different tabs to avoid confusion.

I also think adding a short cooldown before the game starts would be nice, this will give players some time to get ready.

I tested the game on mobile and I found it difficult to control the tank and shoot.

EDIT: Should I make a new thread for the announcement or do you recommend writing here?

You can edit this topic or start a new one but if you choose to create a new one, you'll need to lock this topic first.

It is certainly clever how you could integrate or use the LN of Bitcoin to make people to deposit some sats for the sake of fun. I am not still sure whether this classifies as gambling as one would certainly need some skills in order to make a bigger chance to big the prize pot of this game, but since it is actually fun, it is a game and involves a wager, I guess it could be considered to be gambling in the eyes of a majority of people.

I have not had the chance to try it myself yet, since I am not very savvy with the use of the LN of Bitcoin. If there was a possibility to deposit some Litecoin or Dogecoin instead (and on-chain), it would be easier for more people to experiment this game.

That's a good point. I put it on my backlog!

Yeah, I noticed that the login/register causes some confusion. My intention is to keep the whole thing as lightweight as possible and hassle free as possible. Still need to think a bit how to do that though in practice.
I will rework the intro post of this thread and explain the game a bit more in detail and then go from there I guess.
