    I'm now thoroughly addicted to this game. It's such a great online game. I love playing with folks from all over the world, and chatting with them too. It needs some tweaks, sure, but it's fantastic anyway.

    When I choose to play a random opponent online and play with someone new, for some reason it's not adding them to my 'recent opponents' list.

    Yeah, it seems to only add them if you type in their username and search for them while setting up a game. And, from first hand experience, i can tell you that if you switch to the paid version, even after logging in, all the entries in your "recent opponents" are gone, which sucks. I hope they fix these issues in an update soonish.

    The recent opponents list is only the players you've specifically searched out (via the username search) or started a race against. This is intentional so that you can play random games, but keep your recent opponents list limited to just friends or people you will likely start a manual game against. If you want to manually add someone to that list, you can search for their username and it will be placed in the list.

    How about, then, having the option within a game to add all or specific players to our players friend list? That way we don't have to manually type in (remember) someones username if we do want to add them.

    It's probably not obvious, but if you hit the rematch button on a game, even if you don't actually start the rematch, it will add those users to the list.

    No it wasn't, but duly noted! I didn't realize that rematch didn't just start a new match immediately, thus why I never dared to press it. :) Still you might consider adding that in a more obvious fashion in a future update.

    That happens when you try to drop a bomb right as you're hitting a wall. The game seems to try to drop the bomb immediately behind you - and if you've just hit a wall the space immediately behind you is occupied by a wall, so it deploys the bomb and then it goes poof because it can't coexist in space with a wall.

    I think it also happens if you drop a bomb right before hitting a wall and the ricochet off the wall would put you instantly right back into the bomb you just deployed. In that case it just makes the bomb go away.

    Is the server down now? Can anyone make a successful move? (not just an update on the game listing)

    Game is good but turns are too long. Players should be locked in battle and be forced to make a move within 1 minute.

    You do realize that its an asynchronous game for a reason :p

    Players come from all timezones in the world. I doubt you will be able to respond within 1 minute playing against someone with 16hours time difference from yours.

    Actually, if you live in the US, you just need somebody who stays up until 5 in the morning watching American sports on TV. :)

    That completely defeats the purpose. The beauty of it is that you don't have to be rushed to play all the time. Feel free to add me guys, I'm gohoosiers30
