A lot of people have expressed their discomfort with the game "Fire Escape" or alternatively "Poacher Chase" in the March event.
This game is one of the main sources of event currency during these two events.

However, for some of us, it's a bit of an eye strain and it's hard to score above 10k for some people because of the strain it puts on your eyes.
The Reduce Movement button has definitely come in handy and made it easier, but it's still a struggle for a lot of people.

My proposal is that there is an alternative game to Fire Escape/Poacher Chase.
Something like Serengeti Shuffle or whatever.
Fire Escape would still be available to play, but you'd have an option of one or the other.
**Note: With the addition of an alternative game, you would only be able to submit once a day still; and only submit on Fire Escape or this alt game. Not both.

If anyone has any ideas of what this alternative game could be, I'd be willing to make a list in the main post here.

I'm also blind in one eye and I'm glad it's not just me who struggles a lot with Poacher Chase because my hand-eye coordination is a bit special.

(I've never gotten more than 5 event currency.)

I'd love that. I have a pretty bad motion sickness which is activated by that game somehow, so I'm put at huge disadvantage when it comes to gathering event currency.

I start getting minor anxiety waves around 10-12k when it starts to speed up. Sometimes I'll stop when that happens, but like, how am I supposed to get event currency if I keep having to stop?

Fire Escape is the MAIN source of event currency this event, giving max 100 Dry Bones per account if you can score 20k. Only 50 Dry Bones for a 10k score.
It seems a bit of an unfair ground.

I physically cannot play Fire Escape or poacher chase because the movement of it will give me a migraine so bad that I'll be down for the rest of the day. I would definitely like an alternative so I don't actually make myself sick trying to get event currency.

it feels outright ableist to me lmao.... it's fun but like. people with eye issues are at a distinct disadvantage and it's one of the only significant ways to get DB.

both the rush hour game type thing and the puzzle seem like good options

I am a gamer by heart playing around 8h a day all sorts of games and the fire escape is just not for me... the game itself feels also poorly optimized it starts of sooo slow and often stutters on my PC that can handle almost everything
that sometimes I die simply because of a stutter (when the game is faster at 10k+ ) but at that point its just too much effort to try again - since I got my main and my side to do as well and it just is straining to the eyes
i wouldn't mind shuffles etc. that are quite easy to look at

I mean, any game that causes dizzyness, motion sickness etc is bad, big time bad. Shuffle games or "escape the fire" something like that, sounds great. Bonus points if it works for mobile users too

My eyesight is fairly good and I can typically get over 10,000, but people with bad eyesight need an alternative to these games. I support

theres honestly just no reason not to support. even as someone who loves the chase games(click button fun), it hurts your eyes after awhile.

some puzzle game or even something like shuffle would be cool

@sonder - Yep. It's still leaving the two games as options, just providing an extra alternative to those who can't do it.

And you can only submit on one or the other.
