(I once designed the cover & site for a self-help/secrets-of-the-universe book that was possibly even worse, I could only face reading a couple of pages)

Recently stumbled upon a YouTuber who got bigger numbers for their reaction videos than for videos where they actually went to the places/things they'd reacted to, felt like it summarised the pressures towards lazy slop

(note that it says it’s just for winter, he’s clearly noticed different seasonal patterns)

So does anything need changing?

I should probably switch “Share high score; doesn’t persist” games to “Share high score; high score persists”, wouldn’t take much work & feels tidier

Dog Poo Golf & Big Ben perhaps should be “Share last score; high score persists”, but adding to UIs would be a pain

“Share last score; high score persists” - DayBrix arcade mode does this partly to be consistent with daily, partly because high score may be ancient. With Styscraper, players may also return often, but might be v proud of the tower they just built & want to share it (perhaps including a screenshot)

“Share last score” - unlikely to play more than once or return often, or scoring feels trivial

“Share high score; doesn’t persist” - each attempt is throwaway & quick, so the sharing point is probably when you’ve played a few times & had enough? Not persisting is designed to make it feel fresher if you ever return but perhaps misguided..?

🧵 Went through how the vole games handle sharing & high scores

🐹 Share last score; high score persists: DayBrix, Styscraper

🐹 Share high score; doesn’t persist: Hampster Invaders, Penga, BOKEH, Simons

🐹 Share last score: all the rest

The inconsistency is deliberate, but maybe I should rethink...
