Online, thousands of players can take control of robots called Bangú and fight with and/or against other players in a side-scrolling fighting fashion.

What is an MMOFG? |
|
MMOFG stands for “Massively Multiplayer Online Fighting Game”. In an MMOFG, players fight with and/or against other players in traditional arcade-style versus combat, but modified with modern-day online gaming features. Players can run, dash, jump, attack, and block opponents, and if they’re good enough they could win the match. Players will also earn experience points and virtual money called “Dine” which they can use to buy newer parts and skills for their Bangú. |

What makes Bangú Bang Mania! Online different from other combat-based online games? |
|
Bangú-Bang Mania! Online differs from other combat-based online games in many ways. BBM’s fast-paced and active combat offers players a new level of gameplay. Add that with BBM’s team-based combat and intensive Bangú customization system, players will be able to use strategies not available in existing combat-based online games. BBM is designed in a “side-scrolling manner”, fashioned after true and traditional fighting games. |

When will the game be released? |
|
Currently, ViTAS Development is finishing minor details required to launch Bangú-Bang Mania! Online and the company cannot give an exact launch date yet. However, we can assure you that Bangú-Bang Mania! Online’s closed beta test will be coming soon so stay tuned! |
 |
What is a closed beta test? |
|
A closed beta test (CBT) means only a limited amount of players are allowed to register and play before the commercial launch. The main purpose of the CBT is to test the game for bugs amd other problems, and therefore the player is required to report any bug/s encountered during play. Please take note that during this stage, not all of the game’s features are completed yet. During CBT, the game’s existing features and server performance are tested in relation to the number of players playing. After the existing features are tested, newer ones will then be added and more players will be able to play. |
 |
What kind of features will be added? |
|
A lot of features will be added during the course of the beta testing such as major graphical improvements, special skills, super moves, avatars, new Bangú parts, and many more! Additionally, we will add newer content and major updates on a regular basis even after the CBT. One such major update is a Story Mode feature where players can fight computer controlled enemies, find rare parts, and learn more about the world of Bangú-Bang Mania! Online. |
