Summary
During the week of August 31 to September 6, 2026, six builds and player fit datasets were ingested across Mine Quest, Matchy Cat, and Color Cat Care while Breakfast Cooking Time advanced to implementation. Work toward the North Star goal of four fresh Poki playtests is progressing, though early session drops and control friction remain key risks.
Highlights
Review Matchy Cat build015 Player Fit results (113.5s avg), which show recovery over build014 but trail build011. Transition Breakfast Cooking Time to implementation to support the Weekly North Star four-candidate playtest goal. Collect and process initial playtest recordings for Mine Quest, Matchy Cat, and Color Cat Care to isolate early exits.
Risks
Mine Quest Poki start rate fell to 49.2% driven by pre-splash loading delays, hidden cutscene skips, and Home routing. Matchy Cat build015 session length (113.5s avg) continues trailing the build011 baseline due to early Match-3 friction. Color Cat Care build005 session depth dropped to 96.0s average with playtests showing player boredom during puzzles 2 and 3.
Follow-ups
Side-by-side analyze Matchy Cat and Color Cat Care recordings to choose between Match-3 onboarding fixes or Color Sort pacing. Instrument Mine Quest first-run events to measure exact drop-off points between load, cutscene, Home, and first mine. Complete Breakfast Cooking Time implementation and prepare initial Poki playtest submission.

Planning
Proposed North Star
Resolve early-exit friction across Matchy Cat, Color Cat Care, and Mine Quest while advancing Fruits Inc 3 and Breakfast Cooking Time.
Success signals
Side-by-side recording analysis determines whether Matchy Cat is parked or given a narrow onboarding repair. Mine Quest funnel instrumentation isolates drop-offs between black overlay, Home, cutscene, and first block break. Color Cat Care pacing experiment is defined to address exits around puzzles 2 and 3. Breakfast Cooking Time completes implementation and Fruits Inc 3 reaches playtest submission readiness.
Not this week
Do not write new Matchy Cat code before completing the side-by-side exit analysis with Color Cat Care. Do not add Patience, recovery meters, or meta progression to Color Cat Care before fixing level pacing. Do not make uninstrumented Mine Quest gameplay changes until fresh-player drop-off points are measured. Do not start new web-port redesigns while My Pet Shop and portal baseline tests remain waiting.
Recommended actions
Analyze Matchy Cat and Color Cat Care recordings side by side to diagnose short-session exits and select next steps. Specify Mine Quest first-run funnel checkpoints for shell ready, Home, cutscene skip, and first mine entry. Finalize Breakfast Cooking Time implementation to establish its initial playtest baseline. Prepare Fruits Inc 3 farm-to-pie adaptation build for Poki playtest submission.
