Hello all!

Ive been working on this game as a University project for almost a year now (on and off). Its now reached its testing phase...

Id like to open up my latest game to the smartfox, gotoandplay and newgrounds communities for testing.

http://gravityapple.com/bbattle.html

(registration doesnt take long at all)

Read Before Playing!:

1) If you cannot connect it may be becuase of the following reasons:

Your port may be blocked (9339)

The server is running on my personal machine and so could be switched off

The server is full as it can only handle 20 max users

2) The controls to play are:

arrow keys : movement
space : drop bomb

3)Please review and let me know if you find any bugs

This is what will be submitted to my University, however I will be looking to expand on the game in my spare time to perhaps bring it to a commercial/public standard - if you guys enjoy it that is!

Special Thanks to Lapo and the SmartFox community for their support!

Hey,

I think the best aspect of online games is the ability to add personal character customisations. Online games are much more socially based then standard offline games. What I want to know is what features really make Online games addictive and fun...

Here is my list of the key features, please add your own or give your favourite feature examples from other games:

Character appearance - clothing, items, auras, physical build, hair type and colours
Items - Rare powerful looking items visible to everyone
Furniture and being able to own your own space - (like habbo)
Levels - A good leveling system with a wide range of skill sets/abilities
Social network personalised pages such as facebook/newgrounds/myspace profile pages (not entirely game related but it would be cool to have them in game)

What else would you consider important?

Hey all,

My new website has just been released, check it out at http://www.gravityapple.com!

Aside from that I have a new game finished and ready for submission, just finishing up on the sponsorship details.

Booya!
