When the new “THEME PARK” area was released in Crossy Road, lots of players were wondering how to unlock the “Wild Rider”. Figuring out the mysteries of Week 1 in the Theme Park, was the topic of a recent livestream.
And during that livestream, I said something so funny and ironic. I said, “Hopefully it's not something stupid like get hit by a train.”
It was exactly that! 🚆
Well, the trains in the Theme Park area are Rollercoasters. It's just sad to send the defenseless little girl, clutching on to her colorful balloon, onto the tracks and instant doom.
Hipster Whale doesn't have to do this! Not only is it quite a morbid scene to behold, it's not good game design. Rewards should be based on skill and achievement.
The “Moon Rock” is a perfect example. Instead of getting hit by meteors, why not just use the shields to block the meteors? It's the same basic idea, requires more skill, and it doesn't result in the game ending.
Anyway, I imagine the headquarters of Hipster Whale might have been like a scene from the Matrix. Instead of “Morpheus is fighting Neo”, perhaps those game developers said, “Photics is playing Crossy!” 😄
