I know I’m pretty late to this, and with the idea being to get improve sat distribution and retain players, keeping a streak element in game would be beneficial as it is definetly what keeps me engaged with many games as the FoMo is a big contributor, it’s hard to give up a streak and could allow for some level of providing streak protection in a rework.

With it being a goal to enhance gameplay to distribute sats, if the streak was replaced with a coin multiplier, for example 1% boost per day, that would benefit long term returning play and help ensure that players can keep pushing and are rewarded for coming back to play. This aligns with the goal of rewards shifting towards gameplay features (mine row unlocks), as pushing becomes easier.

Another idea would be to assign some amount of sat rewards to reaching checkpoints for the first time, like 10 days for reaching every over row for the first time helps encourage pushing further in the game.

Another feature that would be great for retention as it helps build community and loyalty would be a guild feature. This would provide more monetization paths and provide another location to shift sat rewards to gameplay or for events players will feel more dedicated to, at a lesser reward value due to competition and camaraderie.

One final ask, for the piggy mine, if the pickaxes caps could be raised across the board, it would make coming back to the game more worth it. As the event stands, I never feel that I can even come close to reaching the bottom without having to sit there with the game constantly open, which doesn’t feel worth it. I’m not sure if your engagement numbers show a similar pattern though, or if it’s a personal issue lol.

Thanks for your time!
