So Adobe will be ending support for Flash Player at the end of the year, and the extension will be completely removed from all browsers. Many sites are already taking steps to phase out Flash-based animation and move thier content to new platforms

As far as I know the only feature that still uses Flash on Lioden is Whack-A-Snake. I suppose it could be put for a new platform, but... why bother? It's a very dated game in many ways. It is only playable on desktop and a select few upscale tablets. It even shows it's age in ways like how it sends a message telling you what prize you won rather than giving a notification or in-game popup.

And, I'll be honest, I hate this game, and I doubt I'm the only one. Clicking the same object repeatedly 500-1000 times is not fun. And it's not the enjoyable kind of challenging in the way, say, the tried and true formula of getting a high score in a match three game is. It fills me with a frustration that leaves me kind of wanting to fling my mouse into the wall.

So yes, I'm suggesting Whack-A-Snake be phased out when Flash is and the associated decors be redistributed like Zimbabwe 's are going to be. Maybe have Liomemo start giving them out instead, I don't know. Maybe add a suggested game to replace it.



This suggestion has 135 supports and 10 NO supports.

Support. I have a HP that runs Windows 10 and can still run Flash on many sites (I have to enable it, but it works) and I can't access Whack-A-Snake. I'd totally be down to see a new game in its place. However, I figure that retiring the game is not gonna be up to Lioden, seeing as Flash will no longer be supported soon, so I think a better focus is coming up with new ideas for a potential replacement.

I'd contribute, but my brain's a little empty.

The retirement of Whack A Snake and the moving of those prizes to a game that's actually playable on my devices is a day I look forward to. It's a fun game if you can play it! But .....

We're aware and as we announced on one of the news posts, we're working on a replacement!

I do like this idea- but I'm sad that I won't be able to get the whack a snake achievements for a 100% achievements.. do you think it'd be possible to add a requirement in the replacement so people who joined late can still get all the achievements?
