Replicating another game is hard, trying to match the user experience or making it better. 2048 replicates made a very good copy of threes, an even better one. Stay in the line has had a share of very bad copies.

Some game take forever to load or play the next round

Hold the line by pixelnaut, stay in the line by yaoyuan and stay in the line by 6677g are some of the culprits. All this apps take forever to load and start playing the game. Hold the line always has a counter of three seconds when you want to start or continue playing, very frustrating.

No way to see the dot you are keeping on the line

Hold the line by pixelnaut wants you track the dot using the positions of your finger. This makes it hard for players to know where the dot is or even move it. You have to keep checking over your finger and end up failing in the process.

No Way to pause

Stay in the line by yaoyuan and stay in the line by 6677g have no way to pause. When you start playing, you have play to the end with no way to pause or take a break. Stay in the line is game that you should play for while and be to move far. These game makers are trying to make it feel like flappy bird but it ends up killing the user experience

No way to continue from last point

Stay in the line by yaoyuan and stay in the line by 6677g have no way to resume play. Closing any of the apps, you have to go back to the start. That experience is so boring for anyone wanting to take a break

The games have been frustrating for user playing stay in the line for the first time. If you search the play store ‘Stay in the line’, all this apps are top 3 with very power user experience.
