Yes! you can find BombSquad for all the supported platforms on the builds page, Note that the "Test Builds" are missing some features (Google Play Games login, etc.) and have some extra things added to them for debugging purposes, official releases only go out to the app stores (Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore, etc.) and will not be placed on the builds page.
Why don't my mods work when I'm hosting a private party?
This is because the Private Party feature in the game uses remote servers for making a party for you and your friends, you're only requesting a party to be made for you somewhere else in the world, it would be extremely dangerous to allow mods by users to be run on the game's remote servers.
Long story short, you need to either do port forwarding (recommended for temporary parties; requires a WiFi router and a bit of technical knowledge) or rent a Virtual Private Server (recommended for running servers that are almost always running; requires money and an average technical knowledge/familiarity with command lines and terminals)
You can use your BombSquad account on a build from the Google Play Store or the Mac App Store to purchase things or use another account and later link it to your current account (not recommended since v2 accounts no longer support v1 linking); however if you don't have access to the mentioned storefronts, or you're unable to make in-app purchases from your country, you can ask @efro [GMT -7] about the price, then go to https://www.froemling.net/, there is a "Support My Code Habit" section on there, you can send the amount Eric requested for BombSquad Pro (or any other purchases) and then let Eric know you sent the money, he will later tell you how to activate your purchase.
What's the roadmap? Why do people keep telling me to read it?
It's because the roadmap is a page with all the current plans for BombSquad/Ballistica. If people tell you to read it, then you're probably requesting something that's already there.
If you want to make powerups, minigames, interfaces, play around with the python layer, which is the one that the game already comes with, fully exposed on PC, and easy to access on Android.
Either one you choose, you'll preferably need an IDE to work with the code (I suggest Visual Studio Code), and to work with the python layer, you just need to go to the ba_data folder that comes with the game and delete all the compiled python files (.pyc) so the game can read any modifications you make. Alternatively, you can launch the game, open the developer console and type from babase import modutils; modutils.create_user_system_scripts() to generate the game scripts outside of it's root directory. You can use this method in android, though you might want to go look at https://discord.com/channels/1001896771347304639/1034133022959751188 if you can't access the created files.
If you plan on making plugins, I suggest you lurk around https://discord.com/channels/1001896771347304639/1094647313445683282, download some mods and check how they work. You can also check the templates in https://ballistica.net/workspaces, which you can also use as an alternate way to mod the game if you're in any other platform, but it is way less versatile than using VSC or any other IDE / text editor.
