it needs adjusting so you need less points to try and win stuff yes, but it doesn't need removing.
you are better off suggesting improvements , or a new game mode that can also drop the same type of rewarrds.

Absolutely no support on this. Foxfire is right in every single point they have made.

People enjoy the game and don't want it removed, whether you like it or not, that's plenty enough reason for it to stay !
Your opinion on the game being "slow, repetitive, and not fun" is not a fact and just sounds like you are mad at the game.

I mean WAS is hard and i dont try anymore even tho i love the decors but it doesnt mean it should be removed. There are plenty of other people who enjoy it.
You can just grind for currency to buy the decor you want too

It's difficult to ask for other people to voice their own opinion in a calm manner when you have listed an extreme "solution" To why you don't think WAS isn't an enjoyable experience.
Saying something extreme will get other people to be extreme back, this goes for talking/using aggressive "I won't budge" language will be met with people who don't wanna be kind and considerate back.

You've said in the disclaimer that the point of the post was to bring light to plausible solutions, but is there any you have in mind that would be plausible? There is other posts that say about lowering the points bracket and i've seen some about the accessibility of it but they have all their own posts (i think) would it not be helpful to also list the plausible solutions people have suggested in your post too? Because people are not gonna scroll through all a posts comments to find them themselves

I enjoy WAS as a game, it's a bit of a nightmare at times and takes time but the time varies, I can get 1k points in 20 minutes while some others it takes them 40 minutes so its just time consuming. The gameplay also isn't that complicated IMO, you have to point and click ( I use my phone or tablet because its 1000% easier) on the snake and mandrill. The snake does be cheeky sometimes and there's a teeny hit box but you do have quite a bit of lives which helps. The decor pool bracket is 501-999 i think(?) So you can get nice decors for not so much gameplay but the backgrounds (most of them) are stunning and are almost on quality with a Raffle background so I think its fair that you've got to work hard to achieve it

There is also people who will win game decors and BG's for people, sometimes at a much lower cost of trying to buy the decor

As someone who has been playing on and off since 2013 (A year btw since LD was released) I think all the games, even seasonal ones are great! However that doesn't mean I play them all the time.

Every once in a while I like playing them, the main ones I do are the slot machines and the Shuffle.
Ya'know what game I hate the most? Pin the Pray! But I don't want it removed. I have friends who love that game and one that even calls her self "PTP Queen" cause she is a GOD at the game which I'm lowkey jealous of, and as much hate as I give the game and the teasing I give to her, she still enjoys it, I enjoy the other games, and I wish her the best of luck any time she plays it!


Just cause you don't like something doesn't mean it needs to get removed. =D There are other ways to get decor and said items from the games. Other people that want to take the time, and are able to get the item can and for the most part do sell them! If you want an item but don't see it up for sale on the TC or branches, make a forum looking for the item! Chances are someone will comment offering said item for either GB, or another item(s).

TLDR: Just cause you don't like something doesn't mean it should be removed entirely from the game, and make the majority of players, new and old, unhappy just cause one person doesn't like it. =D

Disagree, the game is too hard for me, but it's fun for others. I'd like if there was another game added so people can get those items if they dislike whack a snake, but I don't think it would be fair to remove an existing game that other people like just because I don't enjoy it.

Personally I would like it if those prizes could be won in a game like Fire Escape, but year round, or something like the game Frogger but themed for Lioden.

Up to 1000 maximum I believe. From 1000 is where you reach enough points for the BG ^^

@Alouette Omg now I want a Frogger minigame for LD lol. I hope there would be a lot of frog-related decor for it if they ever add that or new plant decors.

@PTP Queen Hanji thanks for taking the time to give your opinion on the topic. You had a few questions for me so I’ll answer. I might add peoples solutions to the main post later, but for now I would like peoples proposed solutions to stay in the thread as to get their first thought rather than being lead off thought by other peoples solutions. I believe it’s the best way to get as many unique solutions as possible, as ultimately this thread is for the mods and devs to look through and consider.
I’m hard stanced because I’m aware that my stance isn’t harming anyone. Plus, I think people get more creative with solutions when something extreme is proposed. They’ll come up with more and better solutions to stop my idea from happening. Plus, if I were to soften my stance, people would stop giving their opinions and solutions. A necessary evil I think.
I understand it might be an upsetting stance to hear but, majority of the players here are adults which I believe can handle it accordingly.
I think I answered your questions backwards lol but all in all thanks again for taking time to give your thoughts.

To the last few people discussing new games that could potentially have the same items so that those that are unable to catch the hang of WAS can have a chance, I like this idea. Some others would argue about the rarity of the items decreasing and prices dropping but I think the devs would be able to whip up a new game that would still offer a challenge and keep prices and rarity up. What other game ideas are y’all able to come up with? We got Frogger, quite a goodie I wouldn’t mind seeing that one myself

Idk why but my first thought was something related to Flappy Bird, but that may be similar to Fire Escape, so that one might be a no. A secondary idea I had was maybe something that could help with the crafting aspect of the game where there could be a game similar to checkers using beetles and the prizes could be various deceased beetles. More common ones for the lower scores, uncommon ones for the medium scores, rare ones for the higher scores, and potentially a random beetle nemesis/decor for the more difficult high scores.
I'm pretty active with base crafting, but I often can't get the paired beetles needed to breed them, so a game that can give those beetle prizes might be really cool for those who can't afford the beetle breeding projects or don't have enough space. The con might be that it would reduce the price of some beetles/dead beetles, but I don't really come across the ones I'm looking for in TC much and have to find them in explore myself, so the good thing is that it might not affect that side of the economy much since it's a little dead as it stands right now in terms of activity.

Some of the decors can be new ones as well as some from Whack-A-Snake with a rare chance of getting a Whack-A-Snake background the way Pin-the-Prey has some decors you have a rare chance at getting. That way, it's still hard, but it's slower and more laid-back for people who get pain playing WAS, hopefully without reducing the value too much if it's still hard to get unless you hone your checkers skills xd

The way it could work is through rounds where the player scores points with each opponent beetle they knock out, gaining additional points depending on how many of their own beetles remain on the board by the end of each round and the game ends at whichever round the player loses.
('Nother word vomit 😭)

Disagree- I hate this gamemode (a lot), but I don't hate it too much.
It brings many nostalgia as a well as being a good time waster. It's fairly easy to master while being fairly difficult at the same time.

Although, a pop up game (that one game that you use a hammer to hit with and ye hit... things with it) would be fun, just not as a replacement.

As some people do like Whack a Snake as it is (including myself, though it's more of a 'play once in a blue moon' sort of game for me,) I do not support it being removed altogether, or the rewards being moved elsewhere. What I would be okay with is the top prize threshold being moved down and well as some different game modes, provided it doesn't mess with item rarity too significantly, much like Whack a Snake has different difficulty levels.

I’m rather confused at this suggestion, if you don’t like whack a snake just don’t play? This suggestion could’ve been utilised to suggest a new game, if that’s what you’re looking for. I personally enjoy whack a snake and like the challenge, and it’s a nice place for me to just zone out and earn some cool backgrounds. I don’t actually feel like this thread has a valid reason to remove WaS fully, since your stated reasons are that it’s ‘ It’s slow, tedious, eats up valuable time, and gate keeps good items’ in that sense, I was the same but I just continued practicing and now I really enjoy the game. If you’re frustrated that you can’t obtain the items, perhaps look on branches or tc? Or even suggest that some of the items get added to the prize pool for other games. I understand that this suggestion is your opinion but it just comes off as immature in my opinion since there are plenty of ways to obtain the prize items if you don’t like playing. And ‘removing’ the game completely would ruin a lot of other players fun for nothing :

Lots of good alternate solutions on this page, nice work y’all!

@jewel wildmoon it’s interesting that you suggested the bug collecting side of the game. A market that could use a helping hand… and a game that could use a helping hand… I think you’re onto something here. I’ve never seen a suggestion like this one myself, maybe it’s been said somewhere else before but it’s very creative, I like it!

@Moom The pop up game idea is good too. Gives a once in a while chance to get WAS prizes without flooding the market with the good stuff, so prices wouldn’t be much affected. Thanks for your suggestion!
