Developing interactivity is effort and an investment. Most developers put up a simple loading screen, maybe some text like rotating tips, and a loading indicator. Until 2015 a patent on interactive loading screens may have made developers and publishers cautious and decide against developing interactivity.

High Hell, released in 2017, features fast gameplay, short levels, and interactive loading screens. (Linked Clip) (High Hell Steam page)

What's the best kind of loading screen? Do you have examples of good or bad interactive loading screens?

the worst kind of interactive loading screen is one that is fun on a game that loads quickly.

This is of course a problem that should only be complained about and never fixed, please don't make your game load slower just so that i have enough time to press buttons

Maybe it should only finish loading after you beat the mini-game? 🤡
