[quote] I’m a bit confused at what you mean here- the game has 45 maps, from a pretty wide variety of builders.
I didn’t know you had that amount of maps. What I meant with it : It leaked detail, I personally would like to see more detailed maps that look pretty, then 40 maps that don’t have much to offer. (That 2004 look good for a few maps, not for a entire bounch of them. It makes the game feel old.) [/quote]I picked maps based on how fun they were to play, not on how pretty they looked. That being said, plenty of maps look pretty compared to others. I just prefer having fun physics gameplay instead of being overly picky with aesthetics as far as destructible maps go.

-The feel and design of the game is amazing!
-I managed to break it somehow. My character never respawned and I had to rejoin…
-The rounds feel very long.
-Why can’t I kick bombs like I can kick the soccer balls? That’d be amazing.
-Great job! You can feel the quality.

[sub]Are you ever going to make me two adds or did I misunderstand our deal?[/sub]
Fantastic. Really fun game, this is LITERALLY the ONLY game I play on ROBLOX now, XD. It’s fun, creative, original, and professional looking as far as ROBLOX goes.
[quote] Out of curiosity, were you inspired in any way by Super Smash Bros’s Sudden Death mode? (In which bombs rain out of the sky) (skip to 3:11)
http://youtu.be/A8p-CYk7lwQ?t=3m11s [/quote]Nah! Was primarily inspired by a level from LittleBigPlanet, called, funnily enough, Bomb Survival. theRal was the first one to take that level idea and bring it to ROBLOX, though. This is kind of a “revival” of the genre.
Great game, I like the feel and aesthetic of the maps a lot. It really seems like some old games on ROBLOX, sort of gives me a sense of nostalgia. What I liked most though was the music and sounds, it really made the game feel more exciting.
Picking up credits that spawn in-game is really fun
Seemed way too easy - even before I upgraded my skills or got a perk I was winning most of the time
The store menus are really well done.
In-game I couldn’t tell what some of the game passes did before buying them (VIP pass especially)
Gem bag - tell me how many I’m getting before I buy it. You and I have a ton of ROBUX and don’t care, but most people do.
Optimum build too easy to figure out and it’s the best build for every map that I played (jump lvl 3 & speed perk)
Since there is an optimum build, and it’s cheap to buy (I bought the Gem bag and had no use for the remaining 24 gems), you’re limiting how much money whales (player who spend lots) will spend on this game.
Whales make up 80-90% of all sales by transaction volume for almost every game, so this is a bigger problem than you might think.
The cost of your one-time boosts is whack (65 to double the 50 bonus I get if I win?!) I actually think there is no price at which they would not be detrimental to the game. You might reconsider these. If they are too powerful, too cheap and too PvP, the whales will ruin the game for everyone else.
You could solve some of these problems by making levels of different difficulty (vary bomb spawn rate, maybe some bombs only spawn on some maps, etc). Show players the difficulty of the maps they are voting on, or make the difficulty vary based on the avg skill level of the server. Or ramp it up every time there is a winner, and down when no one survives.
This game could benefit from occasional shaking up. For example, what if every 10 rounds (or 10% of rounds) was a super-crazy coinfest with hellabombs?
I think a team-based mode would be interesting and might make having a wider range of skills on your team important.
Let players who have been eliminated drop bombs on the map from the lounge (a la Bomberman)
Another idea that I have been kicking around for a while that might fit in this game:
If it were team based, you could let the different teams bet on whether they were going to win or not. So, for example, each team member puts in 10 credits and the winning team takes all.
Also - why no player points? Players love their points.
This game is amazing and I utterly love it to bits. My favourite thing in the game is how you implemented skills; none of them are too powerful or too weak!
However, some suggestions:
[ul]
[li]Gamemodes! Gamemodes can really switch up the gameplay and provide longer play sessions. Good gamemodes: Every Bomb is a ____ Bomb, Juggernaut (one player gets a weapon or something), No Skills/Perks Allowed, etc.[/li]
[li]Dynamic Levels! Having some levels that gradually change as the clock ticks down would be awesome.[/li]
[li]In addition to the map being smashed to pieces by bombs, you could have events that shake up the gameplay. Examples: Earthquake, Flood, Detonation (all bombs in the map instantly detonate), Black Hole (players are slowly pulled towards the middle of the map, where a black hole will suck anyone who gets too close in), etc.[/li]
[/ul]
That being said, plenty of maps look pretty compared to others. I just prefer having fun physics gameplay instead of being overly picky with aesthetics as far as destructible maps go.
