Games worth discovering
A brief glimpse at a good game? + chronic TapTap headaches
287 View2023-11-25The day after I download it, it's gone - or broken, perhaps. Either way, it was a good time for that day, with plenty to explore and lots of combat styles to try freely without a commitment.
This type of confusion is such a regularity on TapTap that it warrants some public discussion, perhaps. When developers release beta versions to TapTap, they are usually not clear about the duration of its availability. They almost never update their app's page to reflect the end of beta. They almost always have the app report an error after beta is over, rather than stating that the beta has ended. Together, these failures lead to players downloading games only to find that they are unplayable. Further, the player can't know how to proceed; maybe the game is defunct and should be uninstalled and forgotten, or maybe it's an ended beta that will be updated in a few months, or maybe it's just bugged and a fix is impending.
The poor communication from developers that is endemic here has an impact on the enjoyability of the TapTap app itself, so I might start a petition to build playability status into the app and require developers to use it before they can post anything if their game has some threshold number of community reports of unplayability. I can't believe nobody else is experiencing this problem and getting tired of it, so maybe it's time to start making some noise.
