Focus: My Pet Shop — Repeat Player Fit of Direct Entry 004
Setup: Incomplete (primary_reference, reference_thesis)
Primary Reference: —
Reference Thesis: —
Reference Alignment: —
Open Questions: Does a repeat Player Fit of the exact direct-entry-004 ZIP reproduce the initial-play conversion improvement sufficiently to support a new Web Fit submission decision? · Does Tapps agree with the second Web Fit request and proposed evidence/message? · After Tapps alignment, will Poki accept a second Web Fit of direct-entry-004? · Can repeat-specific progress events and matching date/device filters be obtained if needed for the request?
Next Actions: Align with Tapps on the proposed request and messaging first. Portuguese Tapps and English Poki drafts are prepared in this chat, explicitly citing historical Web Fit 44.6% Conversion to Play, rel002 Player Fit 54.8%, and 004 results 68.6%/68.2%, with the non-equivalence caveat. User's agreement permits direct Poki contact, but alignment with Tapps must precede asking Poki for a second Web Fit using the existing direct-entry-004 ZIP. No messages have been sent and no second Web Fit is requested/submitted.
Latest Findings: Latest Poki Player Fit for my-pet-shop-start-hand-001.zip: average session 213.3s, p90 501.0s, median 80.5s, under-3m sessions 69.6%, Poki start rate 57.0%. · Repeat test b955dcc3-ca20-4302-8fdb-192dfe96ad7e is distinct from original 004 test f0001097-b3d4-4cb6-a9b1-03e192ff757f and references the same Poki version 4cf82d4e-d4f6-4578-aaaa-381f77b4d34e, my-pet-shop-direct-entry-004.zip. · Gameplay starts/pageviews: rel002 274/500=54.8%; first 004 343/500=68.6%; hand001 285/500=57.0%; repeat 004 341/500=68.2%. Repeat differs from first 004 by -0.4 percentage points and exceeds rel002 by 13.4 points, or 67 extra starts per 500 pageviews (approximately 24% relative increase). · Repeat average session 235.464s, median 110.5s, 188/500 durations reach at least 180s=37.6%. Prior 004: 205.094s, 100s, 32.4%; rel002: 203.556s, 100s, 31.6%. Supporting aggregate engagement shows no apparent tradeoff; entry conversion remains primary. · Supplied progress-events.csv exactly matches earlier 004 counts: loading starts 796, completes 655; Day1 starts 481, completes 270 (total completion occurrences 271). Its 73.4% Day1-start/loading-complete ratio is not independently replicated repeat-event evidence; no confirmed repeat window/version metadata. · Poki's historical Web Fit reported 44.6% Conversion to Play and advised continued iteration. Player Fit gameplay-start rate is not the same reconciled metric/population; do not claim Web Fit conversion is now 68%. · Separate sequential Player Fit cohorts reproduce the 004 improvement but do not establish randomized causal proof or guarantee Poki acceptance. Hand001 did not reproduce this advantage; 004 is the proposed Web Fit candidate. · The repeat resolves the immediate replication question in favor of 004: its initial-play conversion advantage recurred at essentially the same rate. This provides a concrete basis to request a second Web Fit assessment focused on the original entry-conversion issue, subject to Tapps alignment. Preserve uncertainty about Web Fit metric mapping and missing repeat event window. No further code changes or extra Player Fit repeat is the current next step.

Active Hypotheses

The current My Pet Shop web port is strong enough to advance through Poki Web Fit without meaningful gameplay changes, and Poki's qualitative review will identify whether the next priority is entry conversion, positioning, presentation, or another product concern.

The Player Fit baseline shows the strongest session depth in the five-game Tapps portfolio, especially among players who reach a playable shop day. The core loop should be preserved until Poki provides its product assessment.

approved · CONFIRMED

The existing My Pet Shop baseline may find a more suitable audience on CrazyGames without gameplay redesign.

User-approved cross-portal batch uses existing builds and marketing readiness to obtain new platform evidence cheaply.

proposed · CONFIRMED

Branded loading feedback and a shorter first-session path will increase the share of new web players reaching a successful pet-care action and reduce time to that action, while preserving comprehension and the existing management loop.

44.6% historical Web Fit conversion, preliminary 9-second median loading completion and observed Home -> selection -> four-page instructions -> reward/setup -> day-start flow motivate investigation. These do not yet establish which step causes loss; use settled instrumented baseline and separate versioned slices.

proposed · CONFIRMED

A delayed pointing hand aimed at START during first-entry shop preparation will increase preparation-to-Day1 conversion by helping players notice how to begin.

The initial screenflow treatment increased Day1 starts/loading completes from 58.3% to 73.4%, but 004 retains a 26.6% aggregate gap. User reports playtests suggest START is overlooked and explicitly approves this small next experiment.

proposed · CONFIRMED

The unchanged direct-entry-004 artifact can reproduce its previously observed initial-play conversion advantage over instrumented original rel002.

Prior 004 Player Fit starts reached 68.6% versus rel002 54.8%; hand001 fell to 57.0%. Replicate the strongest observed entry candidate before deciding on another Web Fit submission.

Latest Experiment

My Pet Shop — Repeat Player Fit of Direct Entry 004

Does a repeat Player Fit of the exact direct-entry-004 ZIP reproduce the initial-play conversion improvement sufficiently to support a new Web Fit submission decision?

Use exact existing my-pet-shop-direct-entry-004.zip. No rebuild from hand-modified working tree, no code rollback, new cue or gameplay changes. Record artifact hash where practical and use comparable Poki test settings. Human performs upload/test; no repeat is claimed launched.
