I've uploaded a video to youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-pxRaq5YVeY

I'm not sure, why exactly i did that...i guess it's an experiment of some kind...

Cool

Now you can show it to people without them needing to play it first. Some people (like me) will only play a random game if has plenty of info on it (like a video).
You will also get traffic from youtube.

This is so fun! So easy but absolute fun!

Cool clone

I especially like footballing bombs

, adds a nice twist to the game.

One thing that would be a nice addition is a 2 player split screen.

zammbi · October 05, 2008, 10:09:58 PM

2 player mode would be really cool.

An updated version (still here: jpct.de/robombs/robombs.jnlp) with some changes:

Game play changes

Kicking a bomb now lets you jump backwards...like a recoil
In addition to WASD and CRSR, the Numpad can be used too now
Two new levels (based on Paradroid and The Bard's Tale)

Corrected issues

In some cases, starting a single player game resulted in an infinite loop. This is fixed now.
Corrected some minor sound flaws (wrong positions of some sounds).
An unavailable server port now stops the single player game from being started.

Potentially corrected issues (i couldn't really reproduce them, so i tried to fix them by wild guessing...):

In a mulitplayer game with bots, it could happen that a player spawns close to a bot. This shouldn't happen any more.
In a mulitplayer game, the server sometimes didn't recognize a client clicking "ready". This should be fixed now.
At least on one system (Linux), the start frame had a size of 5*5 pixel instead of the correct one. I hope that this is fixed now.

Yes, but it's unlikely to happen...

I like the football thing, but it seems like it doesn't work all the time. Sometimes he just walks around a bomb and sometimes he kicks it.

You have to have the football icon (i.e. collected a red diamond) and you have to face the bomb when running into it (it doesn't work if you run into it from the side or from behind). I've never seen it failing and we've played for hours in multi player sessions, so i guess that one of these preconditions wasn't met in your case.

Oh, I didn't read the directions or anything. I'm sure it's because I didn't notice that football icon.
