Hello Ducklings!
We’re patching the game to version 0.8.9 of Bombergrounds: Battle Royale.
This patch features mostly changes in coins payment structure, the reward prize wheel, added community features (chat & emojis in lobby) among other small changes and bugfixes. We’ve also updated a lot of graphical stuff, and improved the visual feedback on using the charge-up bat mechanic – especially on max charge where it looks super powerful! 😉
Please read through the patch notes to get a better understanding of what we have changed since last patch.
