Revive mechanic in mobile games
Hey all, I recently released my arcade game titled Popcorn Chef to Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...in.popcornchef. I am currently working on the next update which will add skins, coins and challenges.
Today my friend was playing the game beside me and complained about the lack of a revive option on loss, which he said makes other games he plays less frustrating, citing Subway Surfers and Pac-man 256 as an example (but only a single revive instead of unlimited). This is a big decision for me because there is no going back after I add it in. I personally never thought of the revive mechanic as anything but a way to make money, but my friend said it makes games more enjoyable.
In looking for some guidance, I noticed that Crossy Road does not have the revive mechanic, which it could have easily added in, but then the same developers did add the revive option to their next game, Pac-man 256. I dont understand why have it in Pac-man 256 but not Crossy road.
I would like to get more opinions if possible from you on whether a revive option is suitable for my game Popcorn Chef. Thank you.
