Suggestions for upgrades

[YaiEf]

Hi

I'm making a small game called Hollow Earth to test a multiplayer server I've made: http://nonoba.com/yaief/hollow-earth

The game really needs upgrades and I'd love some cool suggestions as to what they could be.

Also comments/suggestions/bugs on the game in general are very welcome

And if you can make my server (not just the game) crash that would be great! (no cheating by sending bad input, no checks in place for that in order to get hard crashes that can be debugged)

Only thing I see is text "Looking for games.." and 2 buttons "Join random game" and "Create new game". Clicking the buttons however does not do anything...

"looking for games"... been showing there only- even if I click "create new",- not working for me

Well, that's how it is with alpha software

The server crashed (without proper information, gah), but it's running again

That looks like a pretty nice concept. I didn't see the promised green balls however

As for upgrade suggestions, I think this simplicity is great, just keep it like this. Maybe make the player grow after eating a green ball, and each frag/kill is worth one more point for that player. That way it allows you to score faster, but makes you a easier target. As so far: nice!

I like it! Played for a bit with another player. Fun concept and seems to be pretty stable

Some suggestions for upgrades;
When you kill another player, he drops random loot;
-really big green dot
-something that makes your explosion radius bigger
-speed booster

You can also add "sticky mines"; slows down your enemy if he enters the small radius around the mine

My suggestion :
Make a robot to play the game while there is nobody. I was alone and I quit after 1 minute. If you can't keep people for 1 more minute with a robot, maybe somebody else will join and add to the fun. Once there are 2 people, the evey new comer will stay much more time to play the game.
