I managed to pass Trial 49 with some random luck: I didn't see what happened but 4-5 opponents died in same time and I finished the job with the 2 remaining... I maintain this level is too hard, far unfair and too much on luck based.
The next and last Trials where more affordable compared to 49; the Trial 51 => I tried to steal the Remote Bomb or the Homing Bomb while debuffing the enemies.
I noticed some IA issues on teamplay when my ally dropping bombs regardless of my presence + the Homing Bomb follow the allied characters. But I think these will be enhanced/fixed in the future ;)
Other notices:
- I find the Bombs Row item (forgot the name) not very efficient; sometimes it didn't work while sometimes it's work on a bomb laid by another player; but with the Purple Louie, all's fine
- I think you should put a color gradient layout (the one in score mode looks nice) for the Path to Glory map in normal mode, and maybe wide (for better lisibility purpose)
- It would be good to implement a save & load system (or memorized) for the battle settings (Handicap, Items, Music etc) since it can be tedious to configure at every game
- Do you plan to add a WIDE map like the one in Hi-Ten Chara-Bom with the same pattern, graphics, gimmicks and Sudden Death pattern? video => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGVJTJSz9Xg
If you really consider to do this, I will be glad to provider you an analyze of the Chara-bom map characteristics ;)

Yeah I'll look into improving these

The general rule is that it will work if you're standing on top of any bomb and you still have any bombs left. This way you can quickly make a sort of "cages", which is not possible on the purple Louie.

I'll consider tweaking the look of these basic stages, but not sure if it would necessarily go in that direction. I think the visibility is fine.

You will be able to save the items/music configuration for every variant in the upcoming release.

There is a basic variant resembling the Hi-Ten Bomberman one (H), but it's not a very precise recreation. I'd appreciate your analysis.

Wow!!! new characthers, new version, yey!!!
I've always wondered if Pommy could be an option for a playable character, curious it would that could put bombs hehe
I don't think so, since in all of it's notable appearances Pommy either couldn't lay bombs, acted as a powerup and/or was a charabom

Would you ever consider adding co-op trials suitable for 2 players?
Unlikely, there will be other modes that will support more than 1 player other than Battle though.

PS: I can provide you a higher quality track for the Hi-Ten Chara-Bom battle theme, since I own an actual CD of Hudson game music compilation ;)
It has a few viruses (but if you have AVG it should take care of them) And the game runs perfect without those detected viruses
Thanks for playing. The game file is safe as verified by G DATA, NOD32 and virustotal's mass scans; I know GM games are sometimes subject of false alarms of few antiviruses, but that's it.
I also can't vouch for download mirrors not included in the OP.

And also, can you send me the spritesheet for White Bomberman?
Thanks.
Jaklub: don't worry, I'm making the analysis of Hi-Ten Chara-bom slowy; but if you want to recreate the stage from this game for the next update, I can finish within a few days. ;)
Thanks for making this game! Oh god! I beat all of the trials! Though I have to say, trial 55 wasn't so hard against this strange person that I don't know about. I mean he looked weird and he dances funny. X3 Anyway, the trials were a lot of fun and helped me with learning how to play Bomberman games at a skillful level. I'm not as good yet, but I have gotten better with every trial I've done. :D
Seriously, thank you. Now to see who I unlocked. :)
