PandaBomb (Bomberman) Test

hey, i made this map in about 3 to 4 days, its essentially bomberman -- 4 person multiplayer, including crappy 5 single player levels i just threw together as a test, bomb pickups, flame pickups, speed pickups, diseases... stuff like that that u would find in snes bomberman

anyways, i was wondering if anyone wanted to give it a whirl and give me some feedback

especially on the controls, if u know how to make keyboard movement more responsive, i'd like to know, its a bit clunky, which makes it hard to get out of those tight situations sometimes

the actual game is based entirely on math, i used 1 location for the actual game

Pretty cool! There was a map like this but it sucked, yours is actually quite fun. Some things though:
- Cinematic has to go. Its multiplayer
- Panda looks like hes spastic? He keeps making movement gestures even though he stands still
- Reset the camera view to the overhead view every once in a while. I accidentally zoomed in and couldnt get back.

Nice job!

i dunno why u need a picture of a bomberman map, cause everyone knows what it looks like and theres not much room for creativity, but what the heck, i made one anyways

eh, ya, but i tried to make the cinematic more interesting by putting 4 randomized cinematics in... well, the non-text part anyways

oh, right, i was testing out repeating an animation constantly with the panda, thats why he's spazzing

i'll reset the camera every few seconds, but any idea about less clunky movement?

Movement looked ok to me :mtk:

hmm, really, i find theres a .7 or so delay between hitting the key and getting an actual response...

.7 delay aye?
not .6 not .8 but .7!

Now I can play Bomberman without stopping to play Warcraft III, thanks

well u know, roughly -- no ideas how to reduce it though? or does war3 just not let u go any better?

btw, any item ideas that wouldn't require a ton of triggering (push would be one of those)... i was thinking of something that would give u the purge or ensnare ability, cause as of now, u can de-buff urself by hitting directional keys really fast

i think it qould be abit better if the camera was a bit more zoomed in and followed you, because that zoomed out looks a wee bit odd in wc3 but thats just me, also i would make the space he moves with each press a bit more

Dude this game Rules!!!
You could also make it so that if you blow up a power up, the power up is gone.

Also throw in some of the other powerups. If you've ever played Super Bomber man 4 for the Snes. Each character had thier own special abilities.
One dude was a rocket dude, he would charge forward and everything infront and behind him would be destroyed.. Cept if it was a bomb or wall.
Also after using ablities you got really slow and your bombs were reduced to a one square untill you recoved.
Another dude was a laser cyborg, he shot a laser.
Another dude could go invisable for a while and he couldnt be hit but he could only stay in one place
2 other guys if they got close they scatter all your powerups all over the place.
There were a lot of other powerups too. a Power Bomb it made the first bomb you plant a super *** bomb. Also Kick, which lets you kick the bomb and throw and all that
Man im just blabbin' Here, Im sorry i wrote a lot lol
But i loved bomber man!

i was trying to stick with the classic view that you get while playing SNES bomberman

i see may add an options so the user decides because on my computer it doesn't look that great zoomed out

Ever played Bomberman for the TurboGrafix 16 (Also known as the "PC Engine")? Thought not. Oh well. There are a lot of power-ups in that that are interesting. Roller Skates make you go faster, there's a bomb control thing that lets you choose when the bombs go off, there's walk through walls, walk through bombs, flame, and multi-bomb. Um.. what else... Extra life? Guess that's it. All I can remember, anyway.

Never could beat that damn boss, but I still have the password to the final boss stage written down somewhere. 5 on 1 is a little unfair -_-

This is fun Im going to host this on battlenet :P
