I feel the need to give reaction on this topic. As most people know I'm a Linedash veteran.
I want to talk about Java first before talking about the Bedrock version. I was there when Linedash was only a Christmas Game called Snowdown. In may 2017 Snowdown changed to Linedash and it was a permanent game. The game had 3 maps at the beginning and after a few months 2 other maps were added. The game was really populair in the beginning and a lot of players really enjoyed it. Not only because it was just a nice game mode, but also because of the trophies you could get. Yes you had a trophy leaderboard at that time too. You could get a trophy by killing people (in Linedash in this case) in a special way. Killing by tnt's or snowballs or other tactics. Also, the Java version has a Normal Mode and a Chaos Mode (the most populair mode). In Chaos Mode you were running at high speed and the only power ups that appear are tnt bombs. Very fun! Later on the game began to get stale. No updates. No bug fixes (yes Java Linedash had a lot of bugs also). No map updates and so on. I know now why this was happening due the problems Cubecraft had at those times. In 2018 the game got featured, because it wasn't populair enough anymore. And today Linedash is still a featured game. And let me tell you, it stays forever a featured game if it's not getting updated. Today, just as in Linedash Bedrock, most times only leaderboard players plays it. However, and this is a big however, Java Linedash has a LOT of leaderboard players and good Linedash players in general. I don't lie if I talk about 200+ great Linedash players on Java who returns everytime to play the game. So you don't play everytime with the top 10 or whatever. You still play against 200+ Linedash players.
Now I want to talk about Linedash Bedrock. That's what we are talking about, right? In the beginning (june 2020?) I was told that Linedash will come to Bedrock. 24/7. I was like: What? Well we shall see if the game is still populair after some weeks. When I joined Bedrock for the first time and clicked on Linedash, I was kinda dissapointed already. It was just the exact same Linedash as the Java version, but without Chaos Mode. Also the same maps. Ok fine. I mean It's a Beta Game on Bedrock after all so I kinda understand why they did it like that.
I knew how to play Bedrock Linedash since my first game, because of my experience on Java. What I forgot however is that I was playing against players with different consoles. Some people were playing on Xbox, others on the Nintendo Switch and even Ipad/Smartphone players. Of course that's what Bedrock is all about. To bring Cubecraft to every console. In my opinion Xbox and PC players are kinda the same. It takes an Xbox player quite a while to understand Linedash but after some time, they are just as good as PC players. I prefer playing on PC, but that's just me. I really don't know how Ipad/Smartphone players are playing Linedash, but I think they always have a hard time playing the game against PC/Xbox players. Because of the different consoles people are playing, Linedash Bedrock was already made for a few players. PC and Xbox players (maybe Nintendo Switch).
This is not the main reason why Bedrock Linedash is not populair. It is one of the reasons though. The main reason is that the game has a lot of bugs. Much more than Java. It's not unplayable, but you have too many bugs you can die from. People don't understand what happens and they just leave Linedash because of that. The Border in the game is a complete nightmare compared to the border of Java Linedash. Instead the border shrinks in a natural way, the border on Bedrock Linedash just teleports POOF and it has shrunk. All the people outside the border dies instantly or they must run in 2 seconds to the inside of the border or they still die. Yay how fun.
Linedash (Java and Bedrock version) has an end game where players with a shrunked border must fight against eachother. On Java, it is a brilliant end game. Tnt bombs spawns everywhere within the border and no fps drops. On Bedrock however the end game is a complete nightmare too. Luckily tnt bombs will spawn everywhere. O wait no...they spawn OUTSIDE the border. Simply brilliant. Not. Also the endgame on Bedrock is really laggy. You can't run normally anymore and you can't make lines anymore. It just doesn't detect it anymore.
And then there's another thing. It's the thing people always use to move faster in the game. The jump button. It's no secret that people on Linedash (Java and Bedrock) can move faster when they spam the jump button. But It's still secret enough, because most people don't know about this feature. I want that a tip ingame appears like: You can run faster by pressing the jump button. Something like that. It will make the game more enjoyable and more exiting for everyone. Not just for the people who knows there's a 'secret' to run faster. Maybe then I will have a more fun time playing with people there on Bedrock Linedash.
Now let me react to the first post on this thread (finally). I voted no. As others said, the game has a lot of potential, but it NEEDS updates and it NEEDS bug fixes. If you don't undate it, the game will die. For the people who says that the game is dead already: Wrong. I still see enough people who play it, but I don't know how that will be in a couple of months when nothing will happen. So:
-Fix the bugs (It's kinda sad already that some bugs are still not resolved such as the Border and the Cage bug).
-Make new maps to keep it fresh. Just swap maps if it's about money or whatever.
