Game Pause or Save option During Play.

Alienscar · March 2021

Quote @bearwithme I would imagine that if you could ‘freeze/pause your game it wouldn’t stop other players so for example winning the episode race - the other players would still be racing so when you unpaused your game, someone could potentially have won the race, but at least you wouldn’t have lost your progress on the level you were playing.

Hi @bearwithme I doubt anyone would expect a game pause to affect anyone other than themselves as that would be a bit weird, and I suspect totally unworkable,

As for the Episode Race it isn't actually a race. That is, you aren't actually competing in real time, so someone could already have won whether you pause the game or not. You are playing against the record of other people's performance over certain levels rather than playing actively playing against other people. So overall pausing your game should have very little effect on your final position in the Race.

Good point! I just play as fast as I can once I start because I want those 20 gold bars. 😁

Since I am usually at the top of the game for mobile I keep forgetting that PC players are 90 levels ahead so there are plenty of people who have already played my level. 😁😆

I have an Amazon Fire tablet with a sleep/wake feature case I bought separately from Amazon. When I close the case, my game pauses and goes into sleep mode. Even with timed bombs but, be aware that the moment you wake (or open) the case, the bombs are still dropping down. This case works every time except when you win free play time or free fish time, etc. Then your free time play runs out. Hope this answer helps others who may suddenly have to quit in the middle of a game.

Hi @aijaziqbal

i think a pause option is a fantastic idea, I think it would help with iPad glitches and certainly improve game play for me 👍🏼👍🏼

I think this is an excellent idea, as I've had occasions when I've lost my progress - usually when I've been struggling on a hard level and have already used boosters or gold bars. I often can't control how long I'm going to be away from my tablet and I find that the battery has discharged. An automatic save feature during a game would be fantastic.
