We beg.


I struggle to sit still for an hour plus repeating the same action, in different locations with the same amount of time to get a high enough score to get the sexy Tropical backgrounds that I need and adore so much.

It takes me 30-50 minutes to get to the 500+ range, and double that to get to the 1000s? Im not prepared to spend near 2 hours repeating the same. damn. thing. over. and. over. again. Please.

Solutions

1. Grant a combo bonus, with so many in a row you could boost the amount of points gained after each successful hit. This is my favorite solution because it was speed up the game quite a bit. In exchange you could speed up the time that they show up for as well so players are less likely to get that combo boost

2. 1-up option, After reaching a certain amount of points a player would gain an extra life when playing. People are aiming for 1000 to get those precious tropical backgrounds and it is rather difficult to reach that with the off centered paw cursor and the wacky vines. (Aly/Relic)

3. Fix the paw cursor. It is slightly off to the left by a tad, maybe centering it would help players out when trying to smack the pesky snakes and monkies when they're hiding behind leaves and vines.

4. Lower the CHAssss sound, for the love of all that is holy. I panic every time I hit my first monkey and snake because I forget how loud Whack-a-Snake is.



If you dont support please tell me why?

Not to mention you can get a 1-2 GB giant tort for 550-999 score range... Please, for the love of all, lower the SCORE COUNT. 35GB for a background? Thats way to expensive lmao. Specially sonething you can get year round.

NOT TO MENTION: Most prizes, other then decor, are super low cost. (Except egg yolk outside of events.) For an hour and you get a catnip...

And it doesn't even work on most devices.

And it has the BEST decor content.

And it is super loud and annoying. The vine makes the snake unclickable when its behind it. I see it, but the vine refuses to allow my click. The paw might be off, so the curser does not click in the right spot.

Yeah at least offer the giant tort with a random décor too :/ Not fair, most people just want the tropical backgrounds at 1000+ points for one point a hit, is just so time consuming. Ive tried so many times to try and get that but I really cant even reach 350 before getting impatient with the entire game, The game should be fun to do not time consuming and makes me loath the game entirely

Support! I would also love a 1-up option, after you hit a certain amount? It's crazy to not give you a chance to whack an additional life up throughout the entire time when you're expected to get 1,000+. I stress to make sure I reach over 100 clicks without life loss every 100 and when I miss a whack, I lose my rhythm and usually lose 2-3.

Support, I'd especially love the combo bonus solution. Even whack-a-mole games give you a bonus when hitting so many in a row, right?

I don't even play WAS anymore since it's just...long, monotonous, and loud. I played for about 30 minutes and just met the 400 point mark. I couldn't imagine playing for over an hour non-stop, I'm more likely to just get carpal-tunnel than anything else.

Even if the other solutions aren't taken into account, the least they could do is fix the cursor. Why is the hit box only in the toes? It doesn't help when the snake drops behind the vine and is unclickable.

Oh I love that you like the combo solution, its one of my favorite solutions to helping the game pick up its pace. I've given up as well on Whack a Snake, not worth the back problems. Cursor def needs a fix tho, I will riot for it >:)

After testing, I managed to hit a score of 1254 in about 14 minutes. (timed it w the time I said I'd do it in chat and then when I died)
And I can confirm every lost list was either due to a stupid mistake or, more frequently, a hitbox error/cursor mishap - sometimes it just won't register and you're frantically whacking and hoping it'll hit. The snake is the more difficult one, imo; I can see the larger shape of the monkey and just hit it w/o aiming too much.
If there was even a possible 1-up option after, say, 300-500?? hits, it'd be much better, as would a cursor hitbox fix/snake hitbox fix and the vines not covering everything but a centimeter of it when it's on the far right side.

Yes! This game drives me insane. Such great prizes, but I have no patience whatsoever, so obviously this game is not for me. The combo suggestion seems to be the best to speed up gameplay, and it's not too overpowered because I can never go over 50 without missing. The utter concentration needed is ridiculous. I play with it muted, so I don't hear the sounds, but I'll bet they're annoying. Anything to fix this wacky game.

also, like, why is the mute button only available once you've already started the game? why is it not on the start menu???

I love all the whack a snake prizes, theyre all so good but its just a ridiculous amount of points to expect us to be there for so long. I have 0 patience, but Im sure someone with more patience than me would agree the time needed to reach enough points for the backgrounds is silly and unreasonable.

I don't play WAS very often, so I don't know if this is a new thing, but I noticed that when I try to use my finger to tap (touchscreen laptop) instead of using my track-pad, the paw always hits a good bit above my finger, making it nearly impossible to get a good hit on a small target. I hope this gets fixed.

Yeah that's the hitbox area. Its way off when it comes to mousepads and touch screens. I suggested the fix in the post. It isnt a new thing it's been around for quite awhile.

I can’t even play reptile roundup :( it’s impossible to play on mobile/tablet but I still support this as I’ve played on a computer once or twice and it’s pretty tedious

I don't support any attempts to make it easier, since I'm at the top of the scoreboard d:

Besides that, you're seriously overestimating how long it takes. ̶G̶e̶t̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶c̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶5̶0̶0̶ ̶t̶a̶k̶e̶s̶ ̶l̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶t̶e̶n̶ ̶m̶i̶n̶u̶t̶e̶s̶

Edit; I timed it. Sitting down to get a score of 505 took 5 minutes, 41 seconds. If there's any truth to the 'hours' statement, it is not because the numbers are too high, it is because you are doing poorly and losing repeatedly with low scores. That's definitely not a reason to make it easier.
