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 297 supports and 11 NO supports.

Totally support some kind of change to WAS, I rarely get above 200, even with my mouse. But playing it on mobile or with the touch screen / trackpad on my surface is impossible. Though I do understand why these decors are made hard to get, it becomes a high value item and for them to become more common would hurt those who've managed to get it, and are trying to sell it. Otherwise, I don't want to develop arthritis from a game, so I usually avoid WAS altogether.

Oh yeah, I definitely avoid WAS. I can't even get 100 points. Don't remember the last time I tried it to be honest. Unless changes are made.. I don't see the point of the game as of now due to it's unrealistic prize tiers.

Same honestly?? Even if you're good at it, you have to click 1,000 times to get decors. Idk who said 'no support' but I hope they're just salty @ me for smth because we need this imo

I definitely support- those bastards need to actually be hit-able for mobile players.

Idea #2 -removing decor/bg
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING

OH you get 300+ on WAS? have a bird! Or have something else completely USELESS.

I do not want to get one more decor birdy or any other animal. I do not like most backgrounds/decors so this would be my favorite 'fix' ever. (Sorry for going off on the above statements, I've just gotten that result too many times ) Not commonly reaching high numbers but when I do it is always decor

No, you're totally right, and 110 others agree! It's ridiculous to ask anyone to do that. It's time for a change!

supported! i'd really appreciate any sort of adjustments made to WAS ^^; i'm on mobile a majority of time but even when i'm not, using my laptop's trackpad makes it impossible to surpass 100 points.

100% support.

If you try to search for different WAS rewards you will see how scarce they are. The game really needs some tweaks to make it more user friendly :( There are so many amazing decor rewards and they are quite difficult to obtain.

I am on a computer with a mouse and it isn't a matter of practicing more or whatnot. Clicking that many times is just a bit ridiculous haha.

Tbh I'm not sure why there are 3 people who don't support this. Who out there is actually GOOD at WAS?? And if by some miracle someone is, who has the time to click a thousand times? Not me.
