It's been a while since I have checked in on this game.  It still seems like there aren't very many players (especially in Japan).  I hope this gets more popular.  Have you considered running a signature campaign?

yah the sad thing is that it is not getting a lot of opponents to play in the server. it is really a great concept and good gameplay but should try to reach out to more people.

I think what he should of done is made it Pacman or Mario Bros or something else similar. Don't think too many people like the Bomberman game.

Actually I think Bomberman is one of the most loved games within the arcade community. Now, at a mainstream level, you are probably right and Pacman is the number 1 than most casual people would love to play, but I think a 4 player Pacman would be a bit of a mess, or maybe its actually fun im not sure.

But to get the approval of the arcade community the devs still need to get rid of all the lag.

Pool is probably number 1 check out the most simple type played games around the internet p2p, also with pool lag is less of an issue as you dont get an advantage by having a better connection.

We need pool Grin

I remember that they had mentioned that they hired someone and would be fixing the lag problem shortly, but I read about this a LONG time ago.  I wonder what ever happened with that.  I would play a lot more, but most of the players aren't near me and the lag isn't worth the bet.

Hopefully the evs come back soon and update it, we need more content and better performance to keep a more steady userbase. I think if the game was more control reponsible and the lag got solved it would be a massive hit. The fact that we are still in the early days of Bitcoin adoption don't help, but it's better to be a pioneer and be one of the first devs making this type of game before it all becomes trendy.

A signature campaign would really help with that, but maybe they can't afford that right now.

If you are having lag, I assume you are not using Google Chrome but Mozilla Firefox. Try playing again with Google Chrome and ensure that flash player is updated. I had the same problems with Firefox and after I tried it with Google Chrome the experience was much more smoother.

Ah, yes; I am using Firefox (in fact, I don't even have Chrome installed anymore - I tried it maybe a year ago, but its mandatory updates, that I didn't know how to turn off, were starting to annoy me, so I got rid of it Tongue).

But anyway, my net does legitimately suck: having a ping over 200 or 300 ms isn't unusual, unfortunately, so I may not be able to do anything about the lag. However, I suppose Chrome's javascript interpreter might, at least, make the experience a bit smoother (by the way, the game doesn't actually use flash, right? Isn't it all/mostly javascript on the client side?).

Yes, the game doesn't seem to be using flash, it seems it's all JavaScript, in any case Google Chrome runs so much better. The game has great potential, and i can play it decently in Chrome + ping 65, ping 200 or 300 is overkill in ANY online game, good ping is 5-30, decent is 35- 65, playable is 65-95, 3 figures of ping and you start with the obvious delays.

Well the thing isnt to win only but have fun and challenging others i made some satoshis already playing games,and i believe this games will replace faucets in the medium time.
No game can replace faucets. (Well, in theory you can create some single player experience for idiots when game is so easy you will always win.)
The reason is simple when using faucets there is only one outcome - you will gain money. But while playing any kind of multiplayer game you can either win or lose.

Hey ppl, a sad anouncement today, I decided to halt the development of battlecoin and get a dayjob, I'm too poor and website is not earning enough yet, and searching for investors seems like a very slow route. (will keep looking so something might change in the following months, we'll see)

will get back to it, and work on it when I catch time, but won't have the time to work on it full time even though I really love this project.

Seems like I'm a little late to the party. Undecided

Anyway, I tried playing this Bomberman game and, aside from the low number of players online, I had two issues with it:

First, the very high ping (> 300ms), which made it almost impossible for me to play; however, my net definitely sucks, so that's most likely my own fault. Smiley

Second, the game, as it is now, is just too basic: there are no abilities to manipulate the bombs, like you see in most Bomberman games (for example, the kick, punch and throw abilities) - without these, the game turns out to be very repetitive after a while (and easier to exploit with bots). I doubt this, by itself, helps explain the lack of players (most users who posted here, so far, seem to have liked the game as it is), but it does seem like a major flaw to me.

In relation to the lack of players, one thing that could perhaps help retain some of them a little longer would be to include some basic bots for users to play against, while waiting for others to join - just sitting in the lobby waiting doesn't work very well. Sad

Looks nice and great concept! I like betting on myself! Haha. I assume mobile still doesn't work but will try with Chrome when I get the chance. I also think Battleship would be a great addition in the future as recommended on page 1. And you should seek crowdfunding!

Good luck in the real world as well. Tongue

Just played it out in Google Chrome - no glitches whatsoever.

Excellent Game.
Wish there were more multiplayer based games.

You might really want to start an IPO for such an awesome game!
I guess many investors will turn up if you can manage the it properly.
It has a strong user-base and I strongly believe it will succeed in future Smiley
Or you can try contacting with MoneyPot and they can help you adding your site into their Global Bankroll so that you earn money when they earn it in overall.

Sad you see you go but you should not sell your site. You have the potential to make it better. You just need the ignition. Smiley

Nothing wrong with selling the site with the right offer why not? holding it and no devlopment ends up = worthless. Selling could mean it lives on and you might get hired for work.

But will the site at least remain active? I enjoy playing some games. Btw I tested in Google Chrome and it was smoother, definitely playable and I don't get the glitches mentioned before on Firefox.

I hope you can get the ball running in the future once Bitcoin is more mainstream, im sure this type of skill based game will be a massive hit eventually.

yeah I feel like it should be popular too, yeah the site will keep running, and I hope to get back to it when I have some cash to spare
