The rescue station in the Galaxan Wastelands has been completely rebuilt! Celesse now runs the operation. She'll greet you, comment on the minions, and celebrate when you pop a bubble. Each trapped minion gets a cute nickname and a visible satisfaction meter that fills as you feed it. No more invisible dice rolls - watch the bubble (the little border - i'm working on this!) wobble, crack, and shake as it gets close to popping! Feed any food you have (no more specific food requirements), but pay attention to reactions ... minions have preferences that the community discovers together over time. After feeding, vote on whether the minion enjoyed it to help build the Field Guide (or lie to throw everyone else off!). Your existing scores and medals are all preserved. Happy rescuing!
Yeah look I will say, I did spend 30 minutes feeding a minion yesterday as the only feeder, only for someone else to pop in at the last moment and yoink it from me. I've been trying not to feel frustrated by that, because I know it's the way the game works, but for me to put in all those items and all that time to get nothing is a bit of a bummer. Plus I'm certain that Rescue Helper isn't working, because I should definitely have received it at least once by now.
i think it should be random when it pops and not a progress bar ( or if there is a progress bar, that it's hidden) and that feeding is anonymous. i clicked in just now out of curiosity and could have "sniped" something but felt like I couldn't participate since idk if someone had been feeding them a bunch. 🤷♀️
that way it acts more like a mini slots or lottery.
I don't see any bubbles or minions, just instructions on a dark grey page that are hard to read unless they're in a light colored section.
Think it'd be better if once the meter was filled, everyone who fed it got their percentage of feeding as their chance to win the minion... like the minion is deciding who it liked more based on the entire length of actions, so its weighted toward people who did the most work but isn't guaranteed, to encourage random feedings, reward grinders, and make it feel less socially hostile.
feeding what you think will be the last bite on a minion you've been working on, only for the bar to hit 99.7% and someone else immediately snags it is... just an immediate nope out
very cute update!! I'm really loving all of the refreshes on the new site. However oofa fruit doesn't seem to count as a food item for the minions and I have many oofa fruit due to my crippling slots addiction so I would like to be able to feed them to the minions if possible <3
I've noticed that my achievement count for "food critic" isn't working for me. Is that a cache problem?
I love this
I really want to enjoy this but my experience just hasn't been that great. I'll be sitting there working on feeding a minion only to have someone else jump in and grab it at the last minute. :/
Overall I like the new minion rescue and I don't mind feeding random ones to help others out HOWEVER when I go through the effort to spend a lot of sP on food for a particular minion and, as others have mentioned, get it to a certain high level only to have it taken out from under me because I had to wait for however long to feed it again it gets frustrating.
That brings me to my next point in having, perhaps, some sort of timer indicating when you can next feed the same minion. But nonetheless it is fun...
After having played this for a little bit now. I find that buying the food for an inexpensive minion ends up costing more than just buying the minion from shops most of the time. It would be great if you had only the more expensive/high rarity/retired minions in the bubbles. Also, maybe we could buy food from Celesse, like food pellets at a zoo and such, and they all eat a random number of pellets to be freed. I found that half of the time the old trapped minion game had a specific food item and by the time you buy that item and go to feed the minion it had already been fed, leaving you with an unwanted item. Maybe these new pellets can be like currency that we collect and then feed to these trapped minions. The pellets is just a way to not have to go searching for cheap food that is really hard to find because of the restockers on Subeta.
so frustrating! one player keeps sniping my minions - tears. they iust lie in wait doing nothing and swoop in and claim like 4 minions at once. my dude! wth?
