Fixed Robo Bomber stage accordingly, thanks for feedback.

Due to ability to create minimal chain reactions and default higher speed, I think this might be too much of a buff. Also, I am going to add the "hold A longer for distance" functionality in place of "hold C button for distance".

Using Power Glove to throw enemies into pressure blocks in order to eliminate them should work here and it has been the case in every 2D Bomberman game I know where you could try that. If you couldn't defeat opponents this way, it might have been a bug.

EDIT:

Could you rephrase that? I have hard time understanding what this issue is about.
I decided to use the double-bombset method like in older games rather than single button binding known from newer ones so you don't have to Line Bomb every time you want to punch one. Also, this set-up makes you able to set up "cages" of bombs around the opponents if you set yourself up close to a wall, do a bomb line, turn around and do another bomb line.

Will look into.

The remaining bombs can be used for your own purposes and chain reactions, so I decided to leave that as is.

There is no Mine Bomb in latest public version, but I indeed have it set up in upcoming one lol
But there is no type mixing like in Super Bomberman, so you won't be able to do that.

Will fix.

So, supposedly, you got a power-up that takes up the button that detonator uses right? Then, you get the detonator afterwards. There are no bombs on screen that you have recently put down. You put a bomb down, use the detonator. Both the previous power taking up the detonator button and the detonator it self doesn't work.

I have tried collecting Punch, then Detonator, but nothing glitchy happened after I came up to the bomb and pressed C button. In general, you can possess all items that use C button at once (Push, Punch, Detonator), with Detonators stacking up. I also tried picking Shield/Bomb Change/Ruse in separate attempts, then grabbing Remote Control, but I could successfully detonate set bombs afterwards and use the power of B-button item. Unfortunately, I still don't know what the problem is.

btw If you're not sure of the item names, you can check Item Help option in the menu.

Well, I guess it's just me then. Also, I know you can check the item names like that. BTW, very nice touch, the item tutorials section. It's really quite good. Suggestion though. Also demonstrate that the stacker works with kick instead of just juggle.

Thanks, will do.

I highly recommend making the third variation of high life (whatever the one with see-saws is called) have see-saws that affect each other. I remember how much more fun the advanced and intermediate variations of the see-saw stages are in Party edition. The first variation has normal see-saws, the second one had one see saw o nthe left side affect its right side counter part, the last one had one see-saw cause ALL see-saws to follow its position. Also, I think I remember how the warp portals work. They send you clockwiese/ counterclockwise. Top left --> top right --> bottom right --> bottom left --> top left --> etc... Lastly, can you make it so that AI teammates don't attack each other and you? My teammate got spawned near me several times and trapped me between bombs and blocks. when I got back from bombercart, he chased me around the stage in his cart and eventually replaced me...

EDIT: disregard the part about the warps. I said this because there was one stage you made with completely randomized warps and I assumed you made it like that for everything. Also, in one of the stages with warps, you have a strange placement of tiles. The one with 2 bridges I mean. Last suggestion for this post. Allow explosions to pass over gaps in the space stage (and maybe the stage full or cocktails).
EDIT: Found a bug where you can spawn a bead bomb behind you if you stand between tiles. Ah, the amount of suicides this caused me. Also, it seems that you can't turn on bombercart in a 12 player battle without it becoming a top concern. Maybe you could tone it down a bit so that 12 player battles don't become bomb hell?

Thanks for all the bug reports, they will be looked into. Regarding variation B of warp stage, it will probably get edited eventually anyway. Wide stage gameplay is getting additional tweaks, so the revenge bomber won't be so gameplay-disrupting.

About the Thinkfst stage and the super speed curse. The curse is meant to be a handicap but it grants the AI an advantage instead due to their precise control. Same for Thinkfast. I find it EXTREMELY hard to beat AIs when playing on Thinkfst. Maybe make it so that they occasionally overshoot when they are trying to walk? Also, do the AIs react to Bombchange and Ruse? Maybe make it so that there's a 90% chance that the AI will react to Ruse and a 55% chance that the AI will react to Bombchange. Maybe even the same system for AIs noticing bombs put in obstructions. The AIs would generally avoid passing by obstructions but not always react to bombs placed under them unless they actually bump into it. The last one may be a little dodgy though if actually implemented.

Actually, if I were to have a way to get the speed curse without a risk of the other curses, I'd take it nearly 100 percent of the time. I've always found that curse to be a perk, even with my human reaction times.

AI is definitely pending some improvements, like abilities to use certain powerups. I will try my best to make it more of a threat on the higher levels (though I don't think I'll make it slip on these, maybe on lower ones).

  Bomberman '94 style single player!? I'm quite excited to blow up extremely stupid bunnies and electric pole things! Are you going to add boss levels too? Oh, and maybe those enemies that carry the electronic tower pole things. Those things tend to kill me a lot though because I don't get out of the way when they drop it.

Glad you liked it! Yes, there will be boss areas and enemies dropping the Core Mechas (the latter actually will appear as soon as area 1-4).

Is this to replace score mode or will it be put in as a separate mode? Also, why didn't you implement a high score board for score mode instead of prompting the player for a screenshot?A suggestion for the dark stage with the spotlights: make the bombs and players the onlyu things that remain bright even when the spotlight is not pointed at them.

There also still seems to be seams in the tiles when the res is at its lowest. Specially in the dark stage.

EDIT: Huh, didn't know you were one of the devs of Smash Bros. Crusade. Noticed a bug btw and I'm not sre if this applies only to dungeon because I only started noticing it there. If a bomb you layed before you died explodes and your at the bombercart, you replace whoever got killed. This tends to happen when you trap you and somebody else between a softblock and a bomb. The game for some reason puts me back in whenever that happens.

It's a new mode, Score Mode will likely get an upgrade at some point.

I have no option of making an online leaderboard, so I went for that. I could add a High Score board, but it's not a priority right now.

Items would have to be flat like in older Bomberman games then. It's a depth issue - I could get it to work, but due to eggs being larger than a single tile, the eggs would have to either remain visible or get a new sprite.

This is an issue specific for that stage, I will try to fix that for the next version.

lol I never thought anyone would recognize me as such

Thanks for report.

Well, I found out through a video of RhoBomberman. I didn't even know that this game was called that before. I didn't really care to read the in-game credits (if there even were any). Anyway, the bombs being bright thing is the only thing that made the dark stage even remotely tolerable for me even with chasing bombs. BTW, about stne garden. The only gimmick in that stage is the tall stone pillars? bombs don't bounce of the side when thrown at them either. That seems to be too small of a gimmick for me. What about adding strange screen wrapping passages to that stage? As in, instead of left to right and right to left it's left to top, top to left, right to bottom and vice versa.

EDIT: Wait a minute... Why can't you just put small bomb sized *and maybe bomb shaped* spotlights for each bomb just like you did for the players in the dark stage?

Bug report: Retro bombs don't show up in the second and third variant of dungeon and wrap around passages of variant C are inviible. The third one you might have done intentionally though.

Ah, cool.

Rock Garden is getting respawning blocks in 0.4.1 version.

Making bombs appear in front of the shadow is easy, hiding eggs and items behind it would be problematic, since egg sprite would have to be reduced to size of 1 tile. It could be arranged, though.

Thanks for report.

Wow, that looks really promising. o_O I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this project.

Hmm... It seems that it's very hard to punch bombs if you are facing away from the bomb when you have a kick power up because it causes you to kick it instead. I remember that other bomberman games had a sort of system to counter that. I think it was that if you pressed the punch button RIGHT before facing the bomb you will punch it instead of kicking it. Maybe you can implement that? Also, I think it would benefit the game a lot if you toned down bomber carts a bit. They end up becoming a top priority when you have enough players and everyone is concentrating on you.

Bug report: Bombs on conveyor belts tend to overlap and when they do, they stop moving. Also, bombs that are on conveyor belts that are adjecent to each other are supposed to separate as they move so that they end up having at least one tile between them like in all other bomberman games. Also, in other bomberman games, collision for bombs to bomns on conveyor belts have the collision snap to the grid while collisions for players to bombs on conveyor belts followed exact position. Also for some reason pushing someone into a bomb moving on a conveyor belt with the push powerup kills them even if the bomb doens't blow them up. I haven't tried it with the power glove though.

Thanks for posts.

I can make the punch work through hold instead of press, should do the trick

I'll edit their AI a bit and perhaps nerf the reload time.

Thanks for reports, will look into resolving these issues.
