Yeah, bonk.io is still around! You can usually find matches throughout the day, especially during evenings. It’s mostly community-driven now since there’s not a huge corporate backing, but there are always servers running thanks to the fans.
Technically speaking, bonk.io still has active servers hosted by the devs and the community. The number of concurrent players isn’t huge compared to modern titles, but there’s enough to fill lobbies most evenings EST. It’s very hit-or-miss midday.
Bro I tried jumping in yesterday and got smacked into orbit by some 12-year-old pro. So yes, people still play bonk.io, and they’re just as toxic/chaotic as ever.
I popped back in last weekend for old times’ sake — stunk at the game, but there were legit matches. Feels like a cozy little corner of the internet where time stands still.
Active? Sure. Competitive? Not really. Most high-skill folks moved on to other physics brawlers, but you can still find some decently skilled players. If you want chaos, bonk.io delivers.
I got back into it last month and met a couple of people from the 2017 era in custom rooms. We even made a “throwback server” with old maps. So yeah, there’s a small but dedicated crew keeping it alive.
Dead? Absolutely. I mean, it’s a ghost town with tumbleweeds and everything. Except it isn’t, because I literally got in a match 20 minutes ago. So… ghost WHAT now?
