Are you like me? Do you completely avoid playing Whack-A-Snake because you NEVER win? Or maybe you're discouraged by how hard it is to actually win? Even still, maybe you're frustrated because all of the good decors are impossible to get?

Yeah, I know, I know. Some people are REALLY good at WAS. For the most part, though, I've noticed most people.. well.. suck! Myself included! Here's what I suggest:
{one or more of these listed options implemented to the existing Whack a Snake game}

1. Lowering the threshold for obtaining WAS prizes.
Currently, you win a small prize if you can manage to score 100-400 points, with many prizes easily purchased in branches or even Monkey Business for 100SB or less. If you can manage to click your mouse onto one of the fiendish critters over ==FIVE HUNDRED TIMES==, you have a *chance* of winning one of over 35 decor. The amount the threshold would be lowered by can be determined by staff, or by player statistics (how often are people actually getting 500+ points?).
2. Removing some decor/background prizes from WAS and adding them to Cups, Reptile Roundup, or SS.
This would lower the drive to play WAS and raise it for the other 3 games, which is a downside. However, the previously impossible to obtain decors and backgrounds can now be won!
3. Increasing the time that the snake and monkey remain on-screen.
The snake and monkey are clickable without losing a life for a decent amount of time, but doing this upwards of 500 times can mess with your head, especially since the 'click time slot' shortens as you go.

===Before you vote, consider these!===
-mobile players NEVER have access to Whack-A-Snake, leaving them out of any opportunity to even TRY to win a prize.
-increasing the odds of getting a prize (whether through option 1 or 2) will add more of the near-impossible-to-find decors to the markets. As it stands, only the players who A. have access to the game, B. can get 400 points or more on the game, and C. have actually won a decor from the game can own and/or sell these decors. Yes, lowering the point threshold will only benefit these players, but it WILL allow more players to win, and will hopefully also encourage the sales of the decors to the best players


This suggestion is in no way meant to jab at the creators of the game, but to point out that, 'hey! We want this feature to change, please!'. If you don't support, let me know why! I think this would benefit more players than not, and at the VERY least it would get those impossible to find decors into the markets more. By implementing one or more of the suggested changes to WAS, this not only allows for ALL players to have access to the prizes (whether by market or winning on their own), but it restores playability (and dare I say tolerance?) for the extremely difficult game.

EDIT:
I support this, but also have another suggestion - while personally I don't have much of a problem click-wise hitting the 500 mark, my main problem is the vines that Murphy hides behind. If they were lifted just a bit, it would make him easier to hit, and easier to keep lives. I don't know how many lives I've lost when I've clicked him four times and still not actually smacked him -Wyndy [Pearl]#12183



This suggestion has 296 supports and 11 NO supports.

Thanks for the feedback!! I tried playing again today while thinking about this suggestion, and I got my all-time highest score..... of 202. Not even near the 'good prize' threshold! It's quite difficult!!

It is impossible to play on a smartphone. I have a big phone screen too and I cant even begin to play it right. I wish they would make it easier to play on a phone.

Great point!! I know the game isn't even available for some users, as they can't run adobe/their browser won't support it. It's an amazing game concept, it's just time for some changes to it.

I’m mostly a mobile player so this would be nice to move around.

I never play WAS anymore because I get junk. I mean, I got 499 points and ended up getting a stupid snake scent.

SUPPORT

It is a struggle for me to even get the lowest prizes so I avoid WAS at all costs, so I'm definitely supporting this.

I'm usually way too lazy to play Whack-a-Snake these days, even though I can (mostly) play it fine.
But support, because clicking 500-1k times sucks...

All I have is Mobil access and that is my only availability to play Lioden. So the ability to come up with and actually be able to play the games would be amazing! I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of the experience of playing Lioden, not to mention the help in SB.
