Wow I got 2037 high score playing Steem Pong. My record high score.
The initial experience I had with Steem Pong was not as enjoyable and entertaining. Being a Nigerian male who likes simple games that can still require the ability to focus and be patient, Steem Pong instantly attracted my attention. The game appears to be easy to play however, when you begin playing it, you soon realize that it requires skill, timing and calm mind.
Each bounce of the ball counts, and each step of the paddle seems meaningful. This was not a normal game as I knew right in the first round. The best part of Steem Pong in my case was the fact that it did not make me stressed and kept me in the game. The motion is not jerky, the controls are not difficult to master, and without any artificial difficulty over time, the game becomes more challenging.
I was learning with every round and understood how to stand the paddle in the right place and to anticipate the ball movement. It was really to my surprise and pride that I finally made it to a score of 2037. The ability to see the number 2037 on the screen was a great accomplishment since I knew the degree of concentration it required to get that far.
Later on as I kept playing, I came to know that the purpose of Steem Pong is not just to have fun but also to learn. Patience is one of the significant things that I learned. When in a hurry or panicking, you are beaten easily. In order to get to 2037, I needed to remain calm, learn to concentrate on the ball, and rely on my reflexes. The game also taught me the importance of making little adjustments that will result in big outcomes. Every point was counted gradually until I reached 2037, the highest I have ever achieved and something that I will always remember.
Sending the Steem token was another interesting experience that I had. This brought the game to reality and made it rewarding. Having the knowledge that I can help the platform, as well as, have a fun game, made me feel that I belong to the Steem ecosystem. Not only was it about playing but being part of a group. By sending the Steem token, I realized the ability to merge entertainment and value in a straightforward manner about blockchain games.
It was not just the number that brought a sense of joy upon the accomplishment of 2037 but it was the journey that was made and the accomplishment of it. Before I achieved such a score, I had failed numerous times. I wondered whether I will not be able to beat the previous record, but I continued to try thinking that I could succeed my time.
By the time I made it across to 2037, it felt that I was rewarded with perseverance. I even kept playing the game a few times later hoping to either keep the same or even score higher on my 2037 score. The Steem Pong also has taught me a valuable life lesson. Life is like this game and it takes balance. Going too slow or too fast you will lose control. You have to be alert, adapt fast and never surrender following an error. This lesson resonated with me as a Nigerian guy who tries to develop and acquire new knowledge on a daily basis. The game taught me that diligence and concentration could go a long way whether in playing video games or in life.
In the future, I am extremely eager to play Steem Pong once again. The next session is already something I am looking forward to and hopefully beating 2037 or at least making the game as enjoyable as it was previously. Whenever I reflect on that high score in 2037, it would encourage me to work harder and aim higher. I am sure I will be stronger, more concentrated, and assured the next time I have to play.
To sum up, the Steem Pong game has been a wonderful and pleasant experience to me. The game was unique because of the fun, the learning, the excitement of making it to the year 2037, and the fact that it could be supported by Steem tokens. It is not merely another game to me, but a lesson that the simplest things can bring an enormous happiness and teach a lot. I really can wait to play Steem pong once more and make even more wonderful moments in the future.
