Suggestions

This idea came from a discussion with grand and deterraleon: right now some players play without shiftstones as a debuff on themselfes, but what if there were actual debuff shiftstones? It would be crazy cool to have debuff shiftstones (maybe they could let you earn double gear coins while active for some upside?) Some ideas: Start with 15 hp instead of 20 Straight only applies 0.5x force on grounded structures Disable <any move> (could be e.g parry or any structure like wall or pillar or cube) Take 1 more damage from structures that hit you in the head Lose the iron boots effect (take damage from structures you land on top off and break) Get a delay on all poses registering (maybe approx equal to client ping or a set amount to simulate being on client too in a way) there's so much that can be done with this that also allows high level players to keep challenging themselves even when fighting less experienced players!!

Every single interface in RUMBLE is a "physical" set of buttons and switches, which is very cool, but makes the interface really hard to use for short players. I am myself 1m65, which is just enough for me to be able to reach all of them, though the park join/host switch is at the limit. I can only imagine how hard it gets for shorter players, and after a Quest standalone release there will be a lot more short players than today. There is an easy fix for this: every interface is placed either on legs or on a straight box (the boards, the matchmaking table, the matchmaker itself...). This means they can just be sunk into the ground and still look good. Since we already have a player calibration in-game, these elements can be adjusted so that the bottom is always at belt level.

I got this idea when I was told I had these weird yellow squares on my belt, and I wasnt sure what it meant, but a potential idea i had was that I might have been on the BP leaderboard, and that was an indicator of that. However, I feel like yellow scrolling squares on someone's belt isnt that noticeable, and it would be great for anyone on the leaderboard have a personal golden bucket (like the ones gained by winning the park minigames) to show their superiority. could be cool, and way more noticeable than yellow squares

Please make it so that the person who has gone the most matches in a row without being host is the person who is selected for host! This would mean that whenever you are host the counter gets set back to ZERO and then each person you match with where you aren't host it counts up! The higher number gets host and it's just whoever was waiting longer if they have the same number! This would SOLVE when you get matched with the SAME PERSON after requeuing and they get host AGAIN!

A move in which the player places their hands in the priming position and then crosses their arms as if they were about to go down a water slide. This move will then cause the player to do a slight jump then "burrow" into the ground and move forward slightly, almost as if they preformed a dash but with slightly more protection. However, when the player is in the ground, the player's head would still be slightly poking out of the ground, allowing for the opponent to use a grounded object such as the grounded disk to counter this move. I believe that this would be most appropriate if the player unlocked this move after ranking up to mountain as mountain is seen as the "Master Earth Bender" rank. On another hand, this move could potentially be used as a shift stone where instead of the player doing a normal dash, the player would do this "burrow" move. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I hope to see this implemented into rumble.

There should be three quest, two are multiplayer and one is what you can do just in the main lobby. The quests will progress you to the next belt so it's more easier to get different abilities, and make it so you don't have to rely on the multiplayer to level up.

I would like to propose a video competition for new trailers of Rumble. The winning trailer(s) will be (at least temporarily) featured on the store page, the maker gets a small prize and thanks in the game credits. Among those that contributed with enough effort to be considered a trailer, you could give away steam keys that the content creators can gift to community members or friends. Just a single key to gift would make someone already feel appreciated. Of course, there have to be certain rules about size, but also rules to make sure they can be used without any troubles. For example: Only in-game footage, to make sure it truly shows what the game is about and to ensure no one is editing in copyrightable material from cartoons, for example. The sound design cannot include music where there is no guaranteed way to get a commercial license. Services like Epidemic Sounds can be used, as there is an easy way to buy a license for their music. And music inside the public domain is no problem. I have seen a few concerns before that the current Steam trailers are not representative enough of the current state of the game. I think they are fine, but I wouldn't call them very good either. It could show more moves, shiftstones, Howard, both arenas and the park. And both trailers feel extremely similar to each other. Watching any of the two doesn't give a different impression of the game compared to the other. It is hard to determine the best approach for a trailer... How much should you show about the accessibility and learning curve? Should you aim for a wide audience, or for the specific niche that is most likely to be interested? I would suggest the shotgun approach and do all kinds of trailers with the help of your amazing community! Some might just show the joy of using the moves, others might show the satisfaction of overcoming hardship. Some might show low-skilled matches that feel accessible to start out, others might show how magical high-level fights can be. This might also draw more people into making video content for the game. Reviews, gameplay videos, tutorials, streams, and more are very good advertisements for the game. I got introduced to this game on YouTube, I got a friend interested by sharing videos I have seen and another friend became interested when I started streaming the game myself. If more enthusiasts join in the creation of Rumble content, then that might already pay off.

Like the title says. This would be useful for if someone is surrounded by structures and you want to have them fall in towards the opponent instead of out away from them! I could imagine a lot of fun strategies for having a move like this!

Sometimes you just cannot find a server so make it so you can fight a AI in the arena

Given that it's so hard to find an enemy during matchmaking, I personally switch to other regions just to find an enemy. I care less about the ping then. To make this easier, I would like to be able to select several regions (or all at once) while going into matchmaking. Right now I have to pick one region -> wait -> unable to find enemy -> switch region -> go into matchmaking -> repeat
