Nice game, the lack of a nice music make the overall experience a bit flt, anyway I like it!
it is fun. We should think about putting music. It would be cool if in the selection of characters there is a better light to better highlight the characters. I hope the game could be even better and that more people know about it.
Very nice game but I installed the game today but I only have medieval city and medieval citadel like levels ... it's normal?
this game is so fun! just wish there were more players.
this game is so underrated and deserves more attention
i bought the game in steam to support you brother. sadly when i joined the characters had completly no hair! and when i change graphics the game froze :( i wanted to support your game very hard but this happen. i wish you can fix it so i can enjoy the game in steam
Hey, thank you for purchasing Battle Splash. It seems to be a known issues with the game, so you'll have two options to prevent that:
1. Play the game in DX9: When you press Play in the game Library, select "Play Battle Splash in DX9", and the problem will go away. This is for old graphic cards as well as preventing many graphic issues.
2. Turn off Eye Adaptation: When you launch the game (normally), go to Options->Video, and then turn off Eye Adaptation.
Hope these helps :D
I had so much fun playing this game! I always loved shooters but being able to play as a cute animu girl... it's double win! I love it! I wish I could play it online (cuz it would be hilarious) but I don't have friends >.< Anyway, I made a video a long time ago, I hope you're not mad :>
Not at all! Thank you very much for the video! I'm glad that you enjoyed the game! :D
A good game! Are the new versions only available on steam?
Yes, the Beta version is now live on Steam. You can check it out here.
I'am Vietnamese and my English is not really good. This game make me feel so bad. Why it is always CRASH? Plz give me some explaination. Thank you.
Hi, so sorry about that.
May I ask you when did the crash occur? Did it say anything about the crash? Did it automatically close the game or was it just Not Responding? If it's just about Not Responding then please be patient, the game takes time to pre-caching data so that you'll have the smoothest experience possible. If it said it had "crashed", please follow the instruction how to report a crash.
One more thing, could you provide your PC specs? I've tried to support the lowest PC specs possible, but limit is still limit. Thus, older computer rig might not be able to run the game, as the game require a Core i3 Sandy Bridge for Mobile or better.
The problem was "It just Not Respoding". Yesterday, I downloaded this game to play. It was OK until I choosed the character, then it began to "Not Responding". I was very patient and waitting for it. It took me too long so that I dozed for a while. After that, it still "Not Responding" but it did not automatically close the game. I tried to restart the game but there is no result at all.
About my PC: Wins7 Ultimate
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz 3.10 GHz
RAM: 2,00 GB
System type: 32-bit Operating System
Please tell me if there is any problem. I'm wondering is that my PC specs? However, thank you for your help.
Hi, unfortunately your system does not match the minimum system requirement of Battle Splash, so sorry about that.
Here is the full list of the minimum system requirement:
MINIMUM:
- OS: Windows 7 32bit
- Processor: Intel Core i3 Sandy Bridge for Mobile
- Memory : 3 GB RAM - (your is 2GB of RAM)
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphic 3000 for Mobile - (by default, i3-2100 came with Intel HD 2000, so unless you have a better card, you can't run the game properly)
- DirectX: Version 9.0c
- Network: Broadband Internet connection
- Storage: 2 GB available space
Thank you very much for supporting the game!
Ok, I know. Thank you for your help.
Having a bit of an issue, i got onto two different servers and each time the camera panned straight up and i was not able to move get it to center.
Hi. If you have a controller connected, then please check your controller. If you don't have any, then it's possible that you're in Observing mode.
If you did not select any character, you'll enter Observing mode, which manually alter your camera for tracking other player's look direction. The list of playing character is on the right, which helps you to observe a specific player. Click on Character Select for start playing, or if you want to continue observing other player, just click on Resume. In Observing mode, you can press [Space] for changing observing mode.
;-; Why does it take a while to load the options screen?
Hi, sorry for the long loading Options Screen. The reason is due to some API changes in the game engine, the game's code and GUI design have not been updated to adapt with these changes. This problem is being addressed right now, and it will be fixed/improved in the future versions of Battle Splash.
I can only play on two maps but on the list there are many more!!! Hows can i play the others? ;(
why i cant play the game?
when i start the game....all is black
Hi, it is a known issue that the game might take a while to load at first, depending on your computer.
The game will tell you if it crashes, otherwise, it was busy doing some background processes.
When the next releases
Hi. There is no fixed date for the next release yet. It will be released when it's ready.
Ok thank you
This game is awesome!!
But why can I play only two of the maps?
Thank you very much!
The game is still in Alpha stage, so there are only two maps. More are being developed at the moment.
Just added the 1st person
Hi,
Battle Splash is determined as a Third Person Shooter, so there is currently no plan for official First Person support. Since the game was targeted for all-ages and everyone, First Person Camera will more likely cause motion sickness than Third Person.
Modding support is intended to address this issue. It is expected that you can create your own characters as well as maps, game modes, etc... However, Official Battle Splash Maps/Modes/Character will provide limited Modding support because of various reasons, so you can only have it your way when you create your own map, own character, own mode, etc...
A yes indeed I did not see that it was in the category 3rd person but to come back to you that you di on the creation of character sela will be well fun and useful for everyone then the creation of map can not be played Than solo? And then I give you some idea to make the minimap would be well then add new weapon is taunt because there is no mi for the moment has se I see
I apologize if you can not understand it I answer you using a translation software because being French I do not speak aps too English
Hi,
I hope that you can understand my answer. I'll try my best, but I cannot guarantee anything 100%. After all, Battle Splash is a big Ambition, while I'm just a small man. Regardless, thank you very much for your support!
I understand that it is not simple to get that I understood you was alone to develop game is I understand that is not very easy but with the help of the community is of some idea the game can advance The faster I'm French I try to help as much as possible by giving some idea but there is the barrier of the language which blocks me so I am obliged to use the translation but sela will not stop me from giving but idea
If not continue as its is the game to go far there is already great French youtuber who played your game as SQUEEZIE youtuber of 8 341 789 subscribe therefore sela makes you pub for your game.
Sorry not to be able to support you by donations (I am young is I is not money but some I would have a donation)
Thank you very much. I'll try my best.
What are the commands please?
Hi, if you're talking about the console command, then there is not much I can share, since it's only for development purpose, and not intended for user. You can, however, type in "show_FPS" (case sensitive) to show your current FPS in game.
Some commands will be available when the modding enters Beta Stage.
Just I kiff your game continue I can not put money to support you because I do not and but continue as its
Thank u so much!
Just I find bugs when you stick to a wall you can shoot through and touch enemy
Thank you for the glitch. This will be addressed in the future releases.

Are you Vietnamese ? :v
Yes, I am Vietnamese. However, I'd love to keep the conversations here in English so that everybody here can understand. It doesn't matter how good you are, just enough for people to understand, then I'd be very grateful.
Yeah, that right. So.... do you know BHGaming (The drop god :v) ?
Yes, I do, not really in person, but somehow yes.
Of couse, he said he know you lol...
I wish my computer is more stronger to play more unity games (like your game)
Oh, so sorry about that. Thank you for supporting Battle Splash.
Thank you very much and We're really glad that you've enjoyed the pre-alpha version of our game. Currently this build only playable in LAN, but we're working on to integrate the multiplayer with Steamworks. Hope you'll keep supporting us by following our progress. :D
Hey, no worries. ;)
Battle Splash has already been Greenlit!
It's just that Battle Splash is not integrated with Steam yet, thus there is no Steam version at the moment (but in the near future).
Thank you very much for your support :D
at the lower res settings there are graphical errors like the options dont show, etc
game also crashes on my computer, ill try to fix it so i can play
Hello @Jesseinator1000. What's your PC specs?
well, i dont know actually. its the school computers. On the front it says Flatron L1734S and I think it uses windows 7
Flatron L1734S is the name of the PC screen/monitor. Can you go to Start -> Run -> Type "dxdiag" and check the PC specs?
i love this game so much I only have two questions are there going to be a wider verity of battle characters and weapons ? Is there going to be more of a customization option for the classes in the future?
Well, we will consider that in later development phases. We really love to add more things like what you suggested, but we also have to calculate carefully about the balances in overall experiences since it's a both PvE and PvP game.
This game is so fun, I wish I had friends so I could play with them, it's the ultimate friend party game!
Thank you very much! We're really glad that you enjoyed Battle Splash. :D
in a comment at the bottom I shared a link to a community that plays this game among others, you can join, ask to play. I'm still hoping to record a game with 12+ human players sometime!
Here's the livestream of Battlesplash which we did once I found the game on itch.io! :D
there is another way to pay for the game? i have tried to pay for 2 days in both Chrome and Edge. the site just keep spinning after i pressed "Review and continue" :((. I downloaded the game and it very funny but there are some locked map.
Hello, LiemAkatsuki. Our current pre-alpha build only has one map as we're still making more contents for this game, thus there isn't any full version available yet. However, your donation is very appreciated for the development of Battle Splash project.
i think i can afford to donate for you guy because i think this is a good game from our country and i would like to play this game like a real fun-to-play game in the future :3
Thank you so much! We will do our best to bring you and everyone a Battle Splash filled with pure fun and excitement :D

Thank you so much! Glad that you enjoyed our game and we hope that you can keep supporting us by following Battle Splash in later development stages. :)
can you please full version in your awsome gameplay it super cool
Hey, I see that the game is really polished! Keep it up! It is for this that arose more smaller game studios, I am the founder of one study, which begin to develop. I wish you good luck in further projects. According to me, the game deserves add it on Steam Greenlight. Regards
Thank you so much for your words. Speaking of Greenlight, we have been lit back in December 2016. You can check our Greenlight page below:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=804737940
Great! Good luck! I hope that the game will be on Steam
Very nice, here's a starter guide that explains the different classes and weapons.
Which button activates the microphone? What are the controls? I so far only figured out Q and G in addition to WASD/12345/SHIFT. Can I switch to first person camera permanently?
The basic control of Battle Splash is with the following keys:
WASD - Moving Characters
Shift (hold) - Walk
1234 - Change weapons
5/G - Wield special item
Q/E - Change shoulder camera
V (hold) - Microphone
Also, this game doesn't have first-person camera.
Thanks! It also seems like the server browser might not be working. I'm going to host (and livestream https://www.youtube.com/user/iwanPlays/live ) a game in about 15 minutes though and we'll do voice and normal chat via https://discord.gg/CN2MYQc (discord is a modern alternative to IRC, primarily for gamers) we'd be honored to have you there if you're available :D
