A lot of people have expressed their discomfort with the game "Fire Escape" or alternatively "Poacher Chase" in the March event.
This game is one of the main sources of event currency during these two events.

However, for some of us, it's a bit of an eye strain and it's hard to score above 10k for some people because of the strain it puts on your eyes.
The Reduce Movement button has definitely come in handy and made it easier, but it's still a struggle for a lot of people.

My proposal is that there is an alternative game to Fire Escape/Poacher Chase.
Something like Serengeti Shuffle or whatever.
Fire Escape would still be available to play, but you'd have an option of one or the other.
**Note: With the addition of an alternative game, you would only be able to submit once a day still; and only submit on Fire Escape or this alt game. Not both.

If anyone has any ideas of what this alternative game could be, I'd be willing to make a list in the main post here.

Game Ideas:
1. By "That1Idiot"
2. By Shangla




This suggestion has 409 supports and 16 NO supports.

Support! I can't play Fire Escape everyday and I've only played it maybe once since the event started. My eyesight is already bad :/

Edit: Honestly I'm probably just going to hiatus this month on and off because I can't play the game long enough for it to be worth my wild.

Support! I can't see very well out of my left eye, and have double vision + other eye issues. It's a fun game, but extremely hard to play with poor vision.

Maybe it could be a "jump" game, like (if you will) Sky High from animal jam?

Support! I'm pretty good at Fire Escape, and can usually get to 20k in a few tries, and the 100DB a day is insanely useful! So I think it would only be fair for people who can't play it (even I can admit that it's fairly straining on the eyes) to get an alternative, because they're effectively missing out on 200DB a day (on both accounts), which is a lot of event currency lost in the long run.

Maybe it could be a puzzle game? The objective would still be to "escape" the fire, but you would move your lion around a board, avoiding obstacles (fallen trees, large rocks, etc.) to get to an "Escaped" tile. All the while, "fire" tiles are spreading around the board and making it more difficult to get to said tile

Overview/Specifics:

Board Game/Tile Game
Objective is to reach a "safe" tile
Lion moves one tile, then fire moves 1 tile (maybe, if this game is level based, the fire spreads more quickly as you advance through levels?)
Some tiles are not enter able (obstacles, think like the difficulties on Reptile Roundup)

I fully support! I have really sensitive eyes and scoring above 15k is really painful ^^' I like "That1Idiot"s suggestion about it being a puzzle sort of thing

Or doing a reptile round up version would be sweet actually! You could really just use the chasm map and then give out rewards based on how many of the lil prey you get!

Major supporting that, my eye sight already Sucks but that thing makes me go cross eyed then it takes a good 10mins for my eyes to go back to feeling/seeing normal.

A puzzle would be cool, nice for people who have bad/sensitive eyeballs.

I just got over 14k points and I feel like dying now

The idea of a puzzle game would be much better..
Last time I played Fire Escape, I became sick for like the entire month because the dizziness wouldn't go away.

Personally I don't have any big problems with it, but I also got a game idea. (I remembered it while reading That1Idiots post, so they are similar.) You know this childhood game where you had to park your car?
(I'll leave here a link to a example picture, i don't know how to insert them on forum sorry)

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/software_images/igrecway-rushhour.1.jpg

So I was thinking, maybe something like this? So instead of cars it could be lion and fire, and the player would have to unblock the safe way for the lion to get out.
There could be levels, and the prizes would be given according to the time you spent to solve the game (the less the better). Just like in the memory game.

As someone that even with the reduced movement thing, normally scores more than 13,000 points daily this is actually something that I need

as someone who has pretty damn good reflexes, but also quite some cross-eye issues when staring at really fast moving stuff for too long, yes please give us some alternative! i didnt even know you can get so many rb by playing that minigame, if your eyes *don't* just nope out at some point, until i read this thread.
