MONETIZATION
What payment model does the game have?
Bombergrounds is a free-to-play game that can be downloaded on Steam, Android, and iOS. We want as many users as possible to be able to play and enjoy the game.
To support the game’s development, Bombergrounds has an in-game store where users can purchase optional items, such as cosmetics, animals, emojis, gems, coins, and boxes.
Bombergrounds also has a Battle Pass called the Bomber Pass, which includes a free and premium track with daily rewards, a trophy road with additional rewards, and unlockable animals.
It’s important for us to have a balanced approach to monetization that allows all users, whether they choose to pay or play for free, to enjoy Bombergrounds.
Will there be a Battle Pass available for purchase?
Bombergrounds has a Battle Pass called the Bomber Pass, which is released every season with a new collection of rewards for players to enjoy. The Bomber Pass includes both a free and premium track, making it accessible to all users.
Gems
Gems can be used to purchase items from the in-game store and Bomber Pass. They can be bought through gem packs from the in-game shop or obtained through the Bomber Pass.
Coins
Coins are used to upgrade animals’ stats, such as health, bomb damage, and melee damage. They can be obtained through coin packs from the in-game shop, the Bomber Pass, daily rewards, or boxes.
Boxes
Boxes can be opened to obtain animals, coins, and experience. They can be purchased from the in-game shop, obtained through daily rewards or the Bomber Pass, or earned through the trophy road. Boxes come in three different variations – box, big box, and mega box – which contain different numbers of items.
Animals
Animals are characters that players can control in the game. Each animal has unique abilities and stats. Animals can be obtained through all boxes, and some can be unlocked by playing the game.
Skins
Skins are items that change the appearance of a player’s animal. Each skin has a unique look, and different pieces can be combined to create various looks. Skins can be purchased from the in-game shop or obtained through the Bomber Pass.
Experience
Experience is used to upgrade animals’ stats, such as health, bomb damage, and melee damage. It can be obtained through the Bomber Pass, daily rewards, trophy road, and boxes.
Bomber Pass
The Bomber Pass is a collection of items that can be obtained by playing the game. It comes in two variations – a free pass that is available to all users, and a premium pass that can be purchased from the in-game shop.
Bomb Doubler
Bomb doublers are used to double the number of bombs earned by playing the game, allowing for faster progress on the Bomber Pass. They can be purchased from the in-game shop or earned through the trophy road.
Emojis
Emojis are used for communication between players and can be used in the game or in the chat window. They can be purchased through emoji packs from the in-game shop or obtained through the Bomber Pass.
Bombs
Bombs are earned by playing the game and will automatically upgrade the player’s Bomber Pass for rewards.
Trophies
Trophies are earned by playing the game and will automatically upgrade the player’s trophy road for rewards and upgrade the player’s rank.
Shop Information – Rotations
Some items in the in-game shop rotate, resulting in a variety of items being previewed in the shop. This rotation affects skins and special offers.
The rotation for skins occurs every 24 hours, and the rotation for special offers can vary.
How Boxes Works
Boxes come in different variations, each containing a specific set of items. The number of items and their quality increase with each variation of box. These boxes have a set number of picks and rolls, which can be seen in the table of drop rates. When a box is opened, it generates a set number of items according to the number of picks (see table). The box then rerolls the worst item based on an internal item score, according to the number of rolls (see table). If the new item has a higher score than the worst item, it replaces the old one and the next roll occurs, if any rolls remain. In short, more rolls increase the chance for better items in the boxes.
If a box contains items of the same type, they will merge visually. This applies to coins, bomb doublers, and experience. For example, if a box contains two items of coins, each with a value of 6, the game will show one coin item with a value of 12 instead.
Boxes also have a luck factor that increases every 30 rolls. The luck factor increases the chance of getting a mythic animal, with the percentage increase being 0.0048% every 30 rolls, up to a maximum increase of 0.2448%. When a user opens a mythic animal, the luck percentage resets.
