We beg.


I struggle to sit still for an hour plus repeating the same action, in different locations with the same amount of time to get a high enough score to get the sexy Tropical backgrounds that I need and adore so much.

It takes me 30-50 minutes to get to the 500+ range, and double that to get to the 1000s? Im not prepared to spend near 2 hours repeating the same. damn. thing. over. and. over. again. Please.

Solutions

1. Grant a combo bonus, with so many in a row you could boost the amount of points gained after each successful hit. This is my favorite solution because it was speed up the game quite a bit. In exchange you could speed up the time that they show up for as well so players are less likely to get that combo boost

2. 1-up option, After reaching a certain amount of points a player would gain an extra life when playing. People are aiming for 1000 to get those precious tropical backgrounds and it is rather difficult to reach that with the off centered paw cursor and the wacky vines. (Aly/Relic)

3. Fix the paw cursor. It is slightly off to the left by a tad, maybe centering it would help players out when trying to smack the pesky snakes and monkies when they're hiding behind leaves and vines.

4. Lower the CHAssss sound, for the love of all that is holy. I panic every time I hit my first monkey and snake because I forget how loud Whack-a-Snake is.



If you dont support please tell me why?

A nice reminder: Just because youre good at something doesnt mean everyone else is ❀ more often than not people really struggle with WAS, its difficult to click on the targets with the trackpad on my computer as well, im sure people with actual mouses have more of an advantage and can click faster. Ive never gotten over 500.

The point is that not everyone should be 'good' at it, or it's not much of a game or competition. The prizes would be worthless if everyone could easily get them.

The mouse conversation is irrelevant and pointless. A USB mouse can be bought for less than $1 USD, and I daresay you already have one anyway. Or did you mean you just don't want to be bothered having to plug one in?

More to the point, people who excel and work are rewarded, in games and in life. Isn't that exactly how it should be?

Im not going to argue with you on the mouse thing because the price you listed is absurd. I can hardly get a chocolate bar for 1 usd much less a computer mouse. And to add on to me most certainly having a mouse, guess what? I really dont. Im one of the few people who cannot afford that at this moment in time due to college expenses.

WAS is absurdly difficult compared to the other minigames. Taking a lot of patience, time and skill. You might have 20 minutes to waste getting to 1000 with your skill but for people not skilled itll take triple if not quadruple that time. Like i said you might be super skilled but most people when it comes yo WAS are not.

As for the decreasing prize amount. Unfortunately. That will happen but the current prices for minigame decors are unreasonably high as well. Theres only about two of each background if not less floating around the market and even that is absurd for a game you can play all year long.

Welp, here you go. They are indeed absurdly cheap. The idea that you can't afford a $1 mouse is more absurd though. Skip the candy bar and boom, you've got a mouse. Heck, if it's a big one you can buy two.

But then, far as you've put forward, the point of this thread is that you want things given to you completely free, at no cost of time or effort whatsoever. You could just as well change the point of the thread to "Delete WAS and give me a prize from it every day for no reason."

Of course theyre all from ebay. Not gonna bother with that one.

Im not saying make it incredibly easy im saying give us some ways to make it easier for us. I gave options. Extra lives and the likes. I never said make it so easy that we might as well get prizes for staring at the screen. Im saying make the game a tad bit easier. You misunderstand the point of my thread and what im trying to convey so there is no point trying to change your mind

Alibaba isn't Ebay. Those were just the first three I saw. There are are least four or five websites in the top two pages of google that sell them for that much.

If you want it to be easier, plug in a mouse. It is already easy once you've done that. It doesn't make sense to judge the difficulty of swimming by someone who's tying weights to their chest.

Support! I have carpal tunnel and wrist movements can be really hard sometimes, not to mention the paw makes it super hard to click on the snake.

At least with SS it's easy to get to 4000, even if you have a trackpad, with practice. On whack a snake it's just testing whether or not you have wrist pains. Besides, no background should be that expensive, especially if the game doesn't work on phones!

Given that WAS is one of the games that I have never gotten to work correctly without a mouse, I really think it's only fair that it's made in some way easier to gain the prizes. There are already 300+ of some RR backgrounds floating around and only ~100 of the Tropical backgrounds from WAS. --at least I think those were implemented at around the same time, so please correct me if I'm way off.

Yes big support. I sit there for ages and win a God damn catnip or snake scent. Not worth the time at all.
Though I suggest maybe just changing prizes. Replace the useless shit with something better like stallions or honeycomb.

Honestly just fix the hitbox and that'll solve a LOT of the issues.

Also! Make it work on other things. I have to use a mouse when playing it and I don't often have access to a desktop

Definitely support, especially the hitbox fixes. WAS is just.... frustrating to play, and even frustrating to win. The decors can still be super rare! We just dont want to spend 10 minutes on a game and get the same catnip that you get from 3 minutes on serengeti shuffle...

Also, would be great to see the game updated to use HTML5 so people don't have to rely on crusty, clunky Flash plugin to play it anymore.
