Hi there fellow addicts.
Yes, finally they’re in, the poll results many of you were keen to see.
Firstly I’d like to take a minute to thank everyone who voted, seriously big thanks to all my fellow addicts who take the time to respond to these polls, without your interaction it just wouldn’t be possible to have posts like this, or to show TinyCo what we are thinking and would like to see in our games going forward. So thanks for taking that minute out of your day to be part of this community. I think it’s interesting to see how positive many of you were in our previous poll about Oz and TinyCo, and how this event sadly undid much of the feel good factor that was returning to the game. Hopefully the last few weeks were a blip and we’ll see improvements in the events to come.
Also if you didn’t see the original post, I need to tell you there was some fantastic feedback left in the comments, if you would like to read it the post can be found HERE.
But now let’s leave all our cursing over everything Bollywood aside for a moment, as without further ado here’s what you told us.

Mostly a pretty good idea, though I don’t see why they connected it to Christmas. (Personally, I wanted a Smiths vs Santa feud continuation.)
Lousy execution.

RT, as usual these polls are interesting. Thanks for doing this.
My progress was halted after I got Donkey Kong whom I grew up with. By then I was exhausted due to the sheer number of stuffing I was collecting for these new characters.
That said, I think there were some positives as they finally have one new character with a drop for Clams. Freemium one to boot! Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find God as a new character to use when I logged in one fine day. Given the huge amount of effort to unlock characters, this was a great gift!

I am glad that 80% of people said that they liked the Retro Games concept. I was kind of hoping that it may have been 100% though. 😄

The concept was fantastic, the execution was awful though – grinding, poor drop rates, way too many collectibles relying on other collectibles, way too much attacking etc.

Sadly the last few weeks weren’t a blip. Last weeks mini event was a total waste of time for me, I got tokens every time on time and still didn’t get a thing!!!! This game has a knack of giving you useless stuff you don’t need/want, 3rd time trying and still didn’t get giant chicken. Then this event, stuck on part 4 poor drop rates as usual, at this rate I don’t think I will unlock a thing again. One more event like this, or the last or the one before that and I’m done with this game.

Very thoughtful survey. Surprising results. I didn’t take the survey in time, but interested to look back. Hindsight is 20/20.
