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 410 supports and 16 NO supports.

I don't have a problem with it and actually the reduce movement lowers my average score compared to not having that on so I never have the reduce movement on.

I think a game like the prison escape in BitLife would be good and thematically appropriate.

Support, not just because of eye-strain (that's a bit of a given when it comes to 2d endless runners, sadly), but also those hitboxes really need some work. My butt did not touch those bones!

(In all seriousness, yes)

A few months later nothing has changed, my motion sickness gets activated after scoring 4k points which awards nothing.

I just tried this game, and as an autistic person, it's impossible! There needs to be an alternative, especially for us who are neurodivergent (one whose neurological development and state are atypical).

new year, same problem. just forced myself to give it a try at a decent score for the currency.
at a few seconds before reaching 16k, which ended up being when i Game Over'd, my eyes went absolute haywire.

a pretty nauseating feeling, so now i'm dizzy and my eyeballs hurt, only for a measly 165cb and 83db.

i can't imagine how anyone would do this, every day, for an entire month.

Extra Support bc I'm on mobile and this game is even more difficult on mobile. With practice, I can regularly get to 10k+ but a lot of mobile players do not have a compatible device.

(i realise that LD is likely meant to be played on desktop, but many people don't have access to a computer or would like to play LD when away from their desktop, so a mobile-friendly alternative that also benefits everyone suffering from eye strain, nausea, etc would be amazing~)

Aside form short sight, I don't have any other motorical or sensory problems nor a motion sickness but I still find the game pretty eye straining. After playing for a while it leaves a waving effect in my eyes for a while.

Plus the hitboxes are kid of weird? When the game is slow you have to come really close to the obstacle, sometimes I can see the lion is literally on the obstacle when I click the jump button? Then on higher speed you can just sit here and click space without looking because you make a jump though the whole area. It's not very challenging either after getting some speed and not being killed by tiny jumps and weird hitboxes.

Also for people who want to click - "No support" because they are fine and having fun - please think about people who literally can't play this minigame because of their health! The game gives quite a boost for event currency and some players are focefuly left out.

Support! I had to evacuate my home last year due to the wildfires and Fire Escape frankly triggers me.

Support! That game I have to force myself to play to get the event currency, then close Lioden for a while because everything starts to blur together/jitter and it gives me a nasty headache if I don't go close my eyes for a while.

it would be nice for an alt with only one good eye it can be hard to stare at the game with it moving so fast after a bit gives me a headache (not sure about anyone else though) but being able to play one game or the other for the same prizes would be helpful

I support. Would love a serengeti shuffle style game. I hate games like poacher chase. Ugh.

I SUPPORT! I'm averaging 4,000 to 5,000 a day! as soon as it hits 4,000 the speed changes up and makes me run into things and gives me a eye strain headache. it makes me dread playing it even though it's the only way i can get enough dry bones to afford the buffalo scrotes and grains of paradise. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING WITH REDUCED MOVEMENT! it helps my eyes focus better so i can jump over stuff but then there's wonky speed or i click for too long or smth

I fully support. The current game strains my eyes, particularly when I'm wearing my contacts. However, the Reduce Movement Effect also triggers my motion sickness hard. The first time I tried to use it, I immediately felt ill. An alternative would be greatly appreciated
