Topic: Looking for some feedback on my game/site SatoshiSquares.com - page 2. (Read 950 times)

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.

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

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!

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.

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!  

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.

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.

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

Feature Idea:

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

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.

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

I'm having trouble accessing your website... The main page loads, then I try to log-in. I type in my username and password, but when I try to push the final 'LOG IN' button, nothing happens, apart from it getting a bit lighter. You should change the design of what happens when the mouse is on the button (so that it changes to the typical hand with a finger 'pushing it'), it would make it a bit more comfortable. It would not help with the current log-in problem, though... My Internet connection seems fine, and I am not experiencing issues on other websites. Moreover, I've been able to log in a couple of days before without any issues... Oh, and I've just noticed that the tutorial button doesn't lead me to tutorial anymore.

These two issues should now be fixed.

Glad you like it.


The most recent games shown on the site as I'm writing this (and I believe when you wrote the above quote as well) shows 8 games with the "extreme" difficulty and 2 games with the "easy" difficulty, all with losing results.  Winning the easy game should happen between 27%-38% of the time depending on which "money bag" you attempt to win, the extreme game is won less than 1% so while the recent results are unlucky, they aren't that unusual.

At some point as I release the game with a more robust bankroll I probably will add error bounty.  Thanks for the input.


Sent.  Thanks, I've been working on it about 2 years on and off.


That is intentional, anything you "earn" while not logged in (ie DEMO version) will be erased when you reload the page.


The bits I'm depositing into the accounts of those who've requested them are real and withdrawable.

Read the op.

Well that would be a bust but maybe it will be credited on the in game account since the OP stated that he will credit a little amount and I think it justify for a little payment for the feedback given if I'm not wrong with that, anyways will try to play the demo when I have spare time.

If that's so, then it defeats the purpose of members here asking SatSquares for those free bits

That's basically a demo version where you can try out the game .

By the way, I noticed non-logged in users are still able play even with zero balances.

Is that intentional?

I tried playing with the demo and for me it is just the same Mines Game with a twist so for me it is a great,
Instead of going to the popular and old Mines style you created a new game style for it.
The Demo is so helpful to understand more about the game.
