Have those daily freebies do…something!

Pocket’s daily free items in the Shop are pretty dreadful, but they’re something. And yet, when you click on them to pick them up…there’s nothing! There’s no little animation to show the hourglass and ticket jumping into our inventory, no sparkly flurry of stars that pops out from the screen—it just fades a bit.

In a game that’s been designed from the ground up to be a dopamine factory, it’s the most weirdly unsatisfactory moment in your daily play. Given what you gain is so miniscule (an hour off the time before your next Wonder Pick, and another shop ticket to add to the pile), we at least need to be given some positive feedback for clicking the button like a good mouse.
