Hello! So I was playing ribbot run yesterday, but I had to purposely die because I was needed elsewhere. So it got me thinking that having a pause button or a “save for now” button might be a good idea!
We all are busy, and often I can’t just sit and focus on ribbot run for long enough to die accidentally. I was also thinking it might be fun to have a different mini game option like a flappy ribbot or a jumpy ribbot! And let people choose which they want to do that day, or make them 5 gems like an extra play? Just a thought. But might as well put it out there lol
Poll for anyone who prefers polls over comments :]
Yes! A pause button is a good idea!
No, I don’t think a pause button is a good idea.
I think that maybe the no pause button is so people can’t cheat and like pause before they hit a cactus? The original Dino game doesn’t have a pause button either (I think)
I think other minigames I’d like would be pong, Tetris and snake (maybe the snake one could be like tying together pieces of scrap yarn to form a bigger piece of yarn?)
like goofywenny said, i think it sounds good, but people could use it to stop right before an obstacle to cheat and get prepared to jump. it might cause more problems than it’s worth.
to be honest i dont think we should be able to pause because then people would use it too much and it would become too easy but i like the more games idea!
I don’t think a pause button is necessary. The game doesn’t go long enough to warrant a pause button - it’s probably only a minute long, if that, for most people before they end up dying. I suggest you don’t play until you can do so uninterrupted for a whole minute.
Thanks for suggesting! We appreciate the input, however Ribbot Run is a short game that is supposed to be playing continuously in one go. Staying concentrated as Ribbot runs faster is part of the game’s challenge, so it’s unlikely we change that. We definitely recommend doing your free daily run when you definitely have a couple of minutes available!
