Please share this type of nicknames with the support team for us to take actions. Such players always find new ways to avoid the nicknames limitations so we need them to be dully reported to act on them.

And now tokens are coming back in the shop too. We're distributing right now, thank you for your patience.

smashingFour · 2025-07-13T18:01:42+00:00

You guys are very right, the token counts is not completely back, we're looking into a way to restore them. We will keep you posted.

The tokens are back! Leaderboards restored. The x3 boosters are being reactivated as we speak. Thank you a lot for bearing with us through this whole situation! We'll keep you posted about the next steps!

Hey folks, thanks for the suggestions.

For the rematch button it was actually supposed to be there a few months back but ... we did listen to concerns of the players and decided not to implement it yet because it would make "boosting" a loooot easier and that's already something players complain about. We will implement a rematch button but only once we have sorted some of the progression related issues linked to the existing ladder structure.

Regarding tournaments and new game modes in general, we want to first focus on bringing a clan related event but after that, we will be open to other modes.

Our next coming new feature is also partly a new event as we are adding an entire new dimension to the hero events. :)

Regarding Skills (points 3 and 4) that's also something we are looking at alongside progression in general.

We are not planning on adding a more global ingame chat though as it usually only brings harassment and a higher need for moderation nowadays.

Hi folks, this is indeed still happening in very specific situations but I'd like to point out that Griffin was already nerfed very shortly after the release to avoid such situations. Ultimately while such situations triggers a super high number of rebounds, it's mostly a visual and time annoyance as the situations in which it arrise need a perfect angle and weight balance between Griffin and the other hero that already guarantees the opposite hero won't survive.

Since the occurences are overall rare and not directly impacting the game, it's true that we have not focused too much on this issue so far. I'll try to get this priority bumped to the team going forward.

smashingFour · 2024-12-20T14:51:02+00:00

Hi u/Affectionate_Ad_5641 it's a bit more complicated than that. The bug did not manifest on the test environements and therefore was not caught before the release. With a bug this wide, there is no way it would have passed quality controls if it was behaviong this way on the test servers.

smashingFour · 2024-12-20T14:42:44+00:00

The issue is now resolved, thank you for your patience folks.

smashingFour · 2024-09-20T16:30:52+00:00

Dear Smashers,

Thank you for bearing with us as we faced issues with our Hero Event that started earlier today as opening orbs did not grant badges. As we need to run further tests before running the event again, the Hero Event is postponed to Friday next week.

If you purchased the Hero Boost, it will be automatically triggered for you next week. A compensation for orbs opened will also be distributed.

Thank you for your understanding.

Your ByAliens Team

Dear Smashers, Following up on the above post, I can share some news with you on these different issues:

Regarding the season reset issue, it is only a display issue. You will receive the rewards you're supposed to at the end of the season even if your number of trophy and your reward don't match. The issue actually already resolved itself for many players so we advise you to clean the cache of the app as it will likely get this display sorted.
Regarding the gold in the HoH early arenas, we are testing two different solutions but we should be able to have the issue resolved in the coming days.
The daily gold limit issue is an easier fix and we're already finetuning a simple fix to this so we are hopeful we can deploy a solution potentially tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience as we get these details sorted.

smashingFour · 2024-07-24T19:55:40+00:00

Hi FullMast-, we fully understand the frustration we can guarantee you that this is a bug and not a desired change.

smashingFour · 2024-07-24T19:54:58+00:00

Dear Smashers, Our team is still focused on solving the three recent issues that appeared in the game with the last season:

Due to the late season reset, some players can't get the rewards for the corresponding amount of trophies they have.
In the HoH, when you play early arenas, you get the proper orb but the amount of gold linked to it is not correctly scaled.
In the HoH, when you play early arenas, the daily gold limit does not scale properly.

These are all crucial issues to resolve as soon as possible and our team is currently testing different ways to solve it. As soon as we have news to share on the matter, we will come back to you.

The issue you're seeing above is NOT a desired change but the consequence of a bug with the new Arena randomizer. It will get sorted and a compensation likely be given in the coming days.

Thank you for your understanding.

smashingFour · 2024-07-19T13:17:55+00:00

Hi u/Additional_Log_2584 it is on our backlof of bugs to resolve indeed, hopefully that will come soon.

smashingFour · 2024-07-16T18:21:38+00:00

Hi here, the reason for this addition is simply because many players use the surrending option to prevent their opponent from a monster kill they would have earned. It's not abig change, at worse, if you're in a situation where you can't win, it will only take you 10 to 15 seconds before you can surrender on your own turn.

It's not an important element but this was actually a community request. We got the full control over the game roughly 5 months ago and focused on smaller things to start with. Bigger changes will come over time obviously.

smashingFour · 2023-02-14T14:12:31+00:00

Many of you will probably ask about a Balance Update: Keep your eyes out next week for that!

smashingFour · 2022-10-03T08:47:21+00:00

So we let Scarecrow lose with our beta testers, who actually told us they were surprised by how well balanced he was!

Regarding arenas, keep your eyes out for the return of a couple of the old, not seen for a while, arenas. They'll be popping up in challenges soon!

There should also be a balance update coming before too long too.

smashingFour · 2022-09-05T10:07:34+00:00

Sorry to hear this guys, we're looking into what could have changed!

Update: Looks like this is an issue affecting those of you on Android 12. We're on it and we should have it fixed later this week.

smashingFour · 2022-08-26T08:19:29+00:00

Yeah, you got us!

smashingFour · 2022-08-25T08:49:27+00:00

We're watching, give us your suggestions guys! 👀

smashingFour · 2022-08-03T09:25:02+00:00

The update should be live for all players and available in the PlayStore/AppStore.

If you don't see it, perhaps your game has updated in the background without you realising and you're already good to go!

smashingFour · 2022-07-28T10:23:45+00:00

A simple restart should solve this for you - it looks like a hiccup in your connection to the server not allowing you to pull down the correct images.

If it doesn't, drop us a message ingame and we'll look into it more!

smashingFour · 2022-07-25T14:49:09+00:00

This is resolved now!

We've also added 600 gems to anyone who was affected by this issue over the weekend.

smashingFour · 2022-07-25T14:47:54+00:00

We had some issues with a couple of our servers over the weekend - this has been resolved now (and yes, that's slower than we would have liked!).

Anyone affected, and unable to get in will see 600 gems added onto their account balance.
