I could be speaking ex-rectum here, but I think the winning cap needs to be lowered. I played over a dozen games and didn't even get past the main game. Highest I ever got was $2,500.

And strangely, in about 8 games, I only spun two bombs.

In my first game, I drew a bomb on my first spin, and managed to answer all four questions correctly to survive.  I never saw a bomb again -- and never answered another question correctly, either!

So, then I'm assuming that you haven't won your own medal yet? :)

I sware (!), I completely forgot that Corey had asked my permission to use my name.  As I recall, he didn't specifically tell me the name of the game he was working on, and I didn't make the connection to it being this one.

When I play, I tend to want low amounts in round to garner more spins in the bonus round.

Just found this from a mention in another thread.

Great game and good to see these developments thriving. My thoughts on improvements were very much the same as everyone here's - particularly that it seems a bit crazy that one round can be worth ten times the value of another. One game I got 4 x $1000 then 5 x $1000, and other games I got hardly over $300.

One idea I had was that when a bomb contract is completed, you should get your three strikes cleared. The reason I say this is that when you get to 2 strikes and you're still a long way from home and the Bomb category hits, you know you're done for. At least if there was some upside to completing a Bomb contract, you'd have a bit more hope of surviving longer. Even accounting for the US questions, this Brit found it a bit on the tough side.

But great work overall.

Oh, and shouldn't the title be "Don't Drop the Bomb" - it seems a bit of a negative instruction at the moment?

I prefer "Drop the 'F' Bomb".

IIRC, the name of the game was originally derived from the Dance Dance Revolution song "Drop the Bomb" - even used the end "sting" whenever a Bomb came up.
