I know it's still early for that. But nonetheless, what are your thoughts about the upcoming mobile app? Is it the right way to go or should BB evolve in terms of its website?

I like the idea of appealing to mobile gamers. The 3x3 mode would certainly be a major addition to the game. The development would take more time than a more basic app.

But in general I think that the rhythm of BB is just too slow for people interested in quick diversions. At this point an app would mainly cater to existing BB users. One opportunity is a bit of a redesign of BB. Of course, the website is great and all. But it cannot be the guideline for the app.

To really offer something to mobile users a lot of the game mechanics would have to change. And that would annoy a lot of "old" players.

Bullzeye. You are completely right, the game needs modernisation to become a valid mobile app based game. 3x3 would be a great addition for an arcade mode. Its vital to give players something other to do than browse the market and might help glue people to this game, while waiting for the next 3x3 opponent for example. I would like to see that online players could play head to head 3x3 games, they could improve their the 3x3 squad aswell in the long run. Make seasonal contracts for players for example. Add bot teams in the mix until we have over 50k users again :D

i don't think we really need to make a new game, but 3 games a week is good enough already
of course new players may want to play a game every day, but since the game is new for them they'll find many ways to spend their time like buying new players or finding the best way to throw away their initial money

if i was in charge, i'd focus on making the old game 100% usable
1) changing the match viewer so people can see their games live without installing some weird browser on their cellphone only for BB
2) making a mobile-friendly version of the website and/or the much requested app to help the general experience
