One major annoyance I've noted with the puzzle piece animation is
that the only way to skip it is by pressing the space bar. The
problem is, this also causes my page to scroll down, which is a
side effect I don't want, and one that I'm sure you can agree
serves no purpose at all.. I think it would be nice if there was
more than one option to skip the cutscene- maybe a little button
you could click, or even just a 'click anywhere to skip' mechanic.
This would also help mobile users, since in most browsers
(discounting ones like Puffin where there's a button you can press
to bring out a keyboard at any time) keyboards are reserved for
text input areas.
Edit: Not only that, but skipping makes the screen gradually
lighten, which is a time-waster as it's an overlay that prevents
you from clicking on the page beneath it until it's gone. It would
be nice to have a faster lightening animation or just have it
disappear in an instant.
The puzzle piece animation is very annoying, because it made me
lose an auction because I was unable to enter my bet. As soon as I
pressed the space bar, the auction was over. And it was a Shiny! I
wish it just appeared in the notification tab.
I do agree that it is mostly time consuming, and it can also be a
hindrance. I think it would be great if we can disable the puzzle
animation from the setting and just receive a notification on the
bottom screen instead, just like the one that usually notifies you
when an egg hatched or when you did 1000 interactions.
i support this, i would love if you could turn off the animations,
dont get me wrong its cool to know i got a puzzle piece but if im
on my phone i have to watch the animation and its annoying as heck
id much rather a notification box at the bottom of the screen
FULLEST SUPPORT!!! Im on mobile nearly always! I think the button
idea would be really cool and a nice feature to have, especially if
you're getting it while purchasing multiple plushies, obtaining
multiple eggs, ect.
