Yeah, counting wins could be pretty good. If you want to make it more serious you could also make a k/d ratio or count kills or something. But first priority should be making it easier to join/play games if you arent working on that already

Id say making the game enjoyable is more important than having a good ranking system. People should be able to join mid-match, as there are not many players all the time you have to wait for so long to get players to join a new game. Also, could it be possible with starting a game with random amount of people as long as everybody agrees on it. Like if there are 3 people and everybody wants to start, it starts, and more players can join mid game. This would make the game so much more enjoyable. Then if this game gets popular enough you could make 2 modes, 1 competitive that is kinda like it is now(no joining mid-game, ranking and so on), and 1 casual mode that works about like the changes i said about. Might be too much work, but it would make this game so much better

I had some disconnects for the first time yesterday. When I joined the game now, it didn't show ranks, but i could join server and it did not disconnect anymore. Good additions, especially the horn for the match start is great.

Does anyone experience the bug thats causing you to jump back to the main menu after you joined a game? thats a disconnect...
im not sure, it could be my internet connection that currently has some problems.
And ofcourse, if you see some other weird behavior then please tell me so i can fix it, Thank you!

Love the game! Been playing for practically hours on end, it's amazing! Would love to see this get popular or even be on Steam.

No need to hack in this game, it's click and point, a good twitch shooter player destroys average players here it seems. I have now often been accused of cheating and left alone, cause I got the hang of some good twitching in that game. I am not even that good. I found the game throught titans stream and there you saw legit play that felt like hacking on the recieving end. plz hacker shouters, try to understand there are people that are actually good at shooters.

Well done, has everything it needs. Firing rate is good how it is. Almost a bit too fast imo. I really think you should keep gameplay as minimal as it is. 2 or 3 more maps would make it a bit more replayable. Looking forward to the update. I think the idea with a powerup for big score difference is great, may keep some players in a match longer.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
it shoud be fun with powerups i think! like speed, more health. It shoud be fun with ranks too! for after like 5 kills you get lvl 2 and then 15 kills and... yeah. keep working with the game. its awasome :)

I seem to have this ongoing problem that is very annoying and persistent: I can only join ONE server in each region. What I mean by that is there are many people playing in say the US region, and I want to play with them but I get stuck in the same server with the same one person every time. It's very boring and I have yet to play an actual game.
Currently after a game started the room does not allow new people to join. what i will do is, that new people can join but need to wait/spectate until the game is over. This should help a lot, and not splitting all players to empty rooms.

I have an idea. If it wouldn't be too hard to code in (then again, who doesn't like a challenge?), would it be possible to get a secondary weapon/fire made for jumping? Like, no damage, its fast and has an effect on other players.
Also lower fire rate a tiny bit on the primary again :)
Interesting idea.
A secondary weapon with very short range, that does no damage, but lets you bounce off everywhere?
Like walljumping the whole time and still be able to fire a lot at the same time, if you are skilled enought to do that?
Yes on the firerate. Ill reduce rate a little bit :)

Would it be possible to allow for people to join after a match has started?
They won't get any positive or negative advantage (unless the lead rat has like 1 kill or less or something), because often people leave and you end up playing a game against 1 or 2 others.
Also having the possibility of having more than 6 ratz would be nice since now you need to wait for 2 ratz to respawn, including spawn protection to get a holy shit.
being able to see other players ping would be nice too.

more than 6 players per room is not possible at this time. but ill see, probaply in future.

Absolutely fantastic game. Perfect smoothness and great movement. The only thing that I feel is missing is an ability to bind mouse2 to jump, and to be able to keep it held down to bunny.
Great work. This is a lot of fun as it is, but it definitely has a very solid framework that could be expanded to compete against some other deathmatch games, imo.

Do you plan on doing a practice mode? It would be pretty cool if you could put that in the game! It's also becoming a bit like shootmania if you ask me. Pretty good!

Not a fan of the spawn protection update, maybe prevent shooting while on protection or remove the protection when you start shooting?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Would be cool, if you could add some more gamemodes (CTF, TDM, Bomb...)
A friendslist/clan system would be nice too.
Personally not a fan of powerups, so my vote goes for not adding those

@Goldcardgames - Without a registration system, the game would be heavily client sided. If it were client sided there would be a massive amount of hackers and you could cheat your ranking up a ton.
Make a fake password if you don't trust it.

Would be awesome to have attachments for your laser gun. Ex. a scope. And a sec gun that takes two kits to kill but has a faster fire rate.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
idea again^^: a secondary weapon that acts like a machinegun. it would do a lot less damage and you would need more time to kill a target. but it would probaply be more enjoyable for non instagib veterans.
please tell me what you think! :)

Who wants badges? like:
10 wins, 100 wins ... or
100kills, 500 kills, 1000 kills ... or
100xdoublekill, 10xholyshit...
or something like that?
ideas?! :)
and what do you guys think about powerups? like "Move Speed Up"
and "Fire Rate Up"? There would be one center place to get them, every 60sec with short announcements before they appear. And something like, if the player with the pickup dies he looses the powerup, so others can pick it up again?but that only once or twice? what do you think?
another idea: if the difference between the first and the last player score is high enough, the last player gets a free powerup until he dies. so he can catch up a very little.

A new match with 2 ppl in there, so match not even started, you disconnect and my rank score went from 1400 to 1370 what?!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Please make it so when people rage quit and you are the only one in the room the match ends and you get points because every single time people leave and i get stuck alone with a score of 23 or 25 and nobody joins the match.
A started match cant be joined, but if you are the only one left you wont loose rankingScore if you leave the game.
i think ill make it that if you are the only one left, your kills get reset to 0 and new players can join again.

Thank you very much everyone for playing my game! There have been quite a lot people online already! :D
Ill try to implement most of your suggestions as soon as i can and add a new map as fast as possible :).
(probaply in the next two weeks. I currently have to do a job that i really dont want to do and that takes a lot of time...)
Thank you all! :)

Very fun game, some more maps would be really cool. Any plans on South America servers? It's okay playing on US, but a home server would be better. Keep up the good work. Also, do you plan on making a standalone game? Would like to launch it by my steam or even my desktop.
thx : ) some more maps/gametypes are definately planned. Server side im bound to what "exitgames.com" offers. i dont have the money to host additional servers myself yet.
I think i will keep it as a free webgame by now, probaply some day in the future ill add the standalone to download. we will see :)

This looks like it can be a great game, just need to get the word out about it, i found out about this from a reddit post
