super support!! i have binocular vision dysfunction and it makes it incredibly hard to play games with rapidly moving pieces! i think having accessible alternatives is a wonderful idea for both those who struggle with vision and those who just prefer a different game!

I actually really like games like these (I used to spend HOURS playing games of this style on phone) but.... yeah, hitboxes are way too bad (I offten lose on start :'D), game will randomly speed up and slow down (and I feel lion starts to speed up way too fast? it just happens), I very easily start to feel dizzy - and I dont think anything else ever makes me feel like this? so yeah uh, support :I

Yeah the speed increments are weird af. Once when I got past 4k points on fire escape, the game suddenly sped up out of nowhere after a gradual increase and I crashed into the next obstacle. In the same run, the game slowed down every time I jumped when I got to the faster times. Wtf is up w/ that and how are people with vision problems supposed to play the game like that?

I get 20k everyday because I'm able to just focus on the lion and find a rhythm, but my vision is bad enough that I can't track moving things after a certain speed and I think everyone who has an issue with playing the game should still get a chance for the event currency.
Additionally, fire escape and poacher chase are both almost unplayable past 10k on all moble devices I've tried, with lions glitching into objects or not registering taps and running into things so an alternative for those without a computer or fast internet would also be very nice.

I'm more surprised that this problem has been around for several YEARS, and there have been no changes (the idea of replacing the game with another is the most suitable solution). When the game was just introduced (or I first came across it), I just acquired a vision problem: I developed myopia. And with any functions in the game that are supposed to help with difficulties (Reduce Movement Effects/etc), after a while everything starts to blur before my eyes, without changes.

When a new item called Leopard Tail appears, everyone who tried to ignore this game will sit in it for days. I have no words for the consequences many will have to endure.

The event is here again, so I'm expressing support again. Even with reduced movement, I can't score about 3000 because I get so motion sick from playing it. Upon trying it again this year for a while, I got extremely nauseous and developed a headache. An alternative would be lovely.

I’m also expressing support again. I STILL have wildfire-related trauma, and I am definitely not the only one in a player base this size. I absolutely know this isn’t intentional, but it comes off as kinda discriminatory that this hasn’t been implemented yet.

It's that time of year again! Reading how much currency you gain if you max score every day and going 'I can hit 5k :).' I'm not a fan of events where a major way to make currency is locked behind something that isn't regular old clicking so that anyone with time on their hands can grind if they want.

Renai, My s-pen does great with that on my cell for one I get over 20k with that but on the other hand, I am finding that no matter what it does not matter whatever you score over that, it does not matter whatever you score be it 20k or 25k you still get 200 CB and 100 DB nothing more.. So whatever... so what is the deal there >???

Apparently I already supported this but coming back to bump and do it again. It's difficult for me these days to sit for long periods of time completely still and focus, and an alternative would definitely aid me with doing these games. Shuffle would be a nice alternative.

Support. <3

Counter went from -17 to -16 (+1)
The choice of submitting either a Fire escape score or the alternative (perhaps one hasn't been added because there's been no elaboration on the suggested alternative?) would level the playing field.

Players could cater gameplay to their strengths/weaknesses, improving player happiness and retention - without someone who can/could do both having an unfair advantage over others.
If rates of currency gain were made relatively the same across each, it wouldn't cause a blip- I'm playing through August this year, casually, but I normally just skip it because 8-9 Buffy at a casual gain rate rolling 30-31 days (normal energy regen without boosts as it's a waste of Roasted Lamb or Red Bull vs sept/oct/feb for me personally) are typically not worth it for me.
Feeling frustrated, unheard, and sick can also lead to increased hiatus and unrest - an inactive player base would not and cannot support the game.
This falls in line with many changes the game is trying to make to be more inclusive and less deterring of its varied player base, without causing any strife or issues that I can see.


I think I had first voted before the caveat of either/or was added?
I choose to sometimes struggle through the after-effects of increased vertigo dizzyness and vision blur and that's a choice I make, but those with compounding health issues who can't 'risk' it should not have to feel bad knowing their responsible choices are causing them to miss out.
While this is 'optional' it feels about as vital as exploring in explore centric months because the rate of currency gain is sooooo slow otherwise.

For those complaining about the 'lag', the portion that is actually a stutter of timing and obstacle formation not reliant on internet speed may actually be by design- deliberate to prevent too much of a pattern forming- if you get too comfortable around 10-15k and just start with rhymical hitting jump at the same interval the stutter & slight timing change into the next obstacle will inevitably trip you up. That's where I usually give in/up as my vision issues start to worsen and I zone out a bit while trying to blink and get too comfortable hitting at the same interval/hoping I can do it without my eyes open.
That tricksy feature makes it nearly impossible to play for those with vision issues as you have to either be eagle-eyed or able to de-focus blur your vision just enough to sort of use your peripheral motion based vision to notice either the speed pattern changing or obstacles scrolling by.

I do not think this is at all a skill issue; why not offer another way to earn Event Currency, outside of explore only or one game?
Dry Bones (Specifically) ?

I know it's October, but I'm commenting because, once again, I ended up leaving Lioden for over a month due to frustration with the game for the event and the feeling of falling behind from it. I just came back today.

I really hope we can have an alternative game added for next year. Or else next year the same thing will happen for me that happened this year and the year before that.

Welcome back! <3

Just to confirm: the feeling of falling behind & dissatisfaction in August lead you to missing all of September, too?


I'm glad you're feeling up for playing, that's quite unfortunate. D: <3

Thank you. Yes, exactly that. It's hard for me to get back into it once I get behind and I don't like coming in mid/late month. I was considering coming back ten days ago but...I just waited to start at the beginning of an event. Especially because October is my favorite time of year!

Makes sense.
I've stayed gone for a year+ before after missing Feb

I'm sorry the missing out & unheard was so strong!
Definitely speaks to how important the good vibes are, thank you for confirming.


That's potentially a whole month to a years' worth missed activity - I know there's thoughts on how to increase activity in slow months - indicating a concern with helping players stay active year-round- as they're modifying & adding those mini-event(s)? (Treasure Hunt) for 3x a year in the last weeks - when some folks usually hiatus or get 'bored' of the current event to start the next month of fresh and/or in the slower months generally..
There's absolutely nothing wrong with self-assessing or taking a much-needed break and even game-side development building those into the experience, of course, but when someone wants or wanted to play & can't, doesn't, stops early... not good. D: so much variety added & would be lovely for just a touch more.
Adding more customization & choice to players' gameplay can only be a positive. <3

I don't think it's a stretch just another way to approach the issue of player retention & reasonable satisfaction.


Oof! D:

Good luck with October! Hope you're able to have fun and stay inspired
