Playing Steem Pong Retro game and Listening to "From Now On" by Hugh Jackman

Steemit is now not only a writing platform because creators are now trying to make it fun by introducing games to keep people interested I would like to compare the game with table tennis because I could bounce the ball and your computer Player can bounce it back also the line that demarcate the two players.The major difference I noticed is that the ball can hit the wall and the game will still continue and the ball can not bounce before the next player play it. That is my comparison to my own understanding.

If you really want to enjoy and stay long playing the game you must learn to conserve the life you have from the beginning. So I had ten live lines when I started so I missed the first one because I did not understand at first and then the life dropped to 9 live. So the second one started I was able to bounce the ball back twice before the ball fell down which I will say I use the first two to get myself into the game.

Initial Play

The third one came up which was my longest play time because the first two failures made me get myself together the ball even fell through the computer player twice before it fell through my side. Immediately I started the game before I could even know that it was about moving the bar that will help to bounce the ball back the ball already fell off, then I saw that my live lime in the game remaining 9.

I did not know that after the ball fell off that the game will continue immediately so I tried to move the bar which I was able to bounce the ball back once before it fall off. It was during the third play I get everything right.

I just tried my best to stay calm after I had lost the first two lives so on the third play time I tried to apply a trick to place the bar at the edge of any of the side so that when the computer player play the ball slow I will be able to know the direction to move my bar in order to bounce it back but when the computer hits the ball very fast the best thing is to just try to place the bar where it could bounce back so that you will not lose lives.

Since I had ten live lines, it wasn't really painful because I haven't really understood what the game was all about. So after I lost the first 2 lives I tried all my best to get it right the third time which was my longest play time and I even defeated the computer player.

This was when I was supposed to be careful but I was feeling like I can't easily let the ball fall behind the bar again instead it was opposite of what I thought then I couldn't focus again. Only the third play time was making me feel like I am the best but unfortunately I play less than how I am supposed to play.

I will say I felt both dead and conquered, why I felt like I have conquered the game was because of my longest play time the most interesting part of it was that I was able to win the computer player twice which was a boost for me and then I felt dead also because I was getting the game by placing my bar in the right position for bounce back but unfortunately I lost attention and I was unable to focus, the ball then begin to fall behind the bar.

The big mistake I made was that I was not able to focus nor pay attention to the game very well after I thought I was good enough because of my third play live which contributed to my highest score. Had it been that I stay focused, maybe another play time would have got me a higher score than the other one because I later realized that when the ball hit the steem logo the score increased by a certain amount.

It is normal to lose, the way the game is being designed if I wasn't losing maybe I will be playing it forever. But the reason I lost was because I couldn't stay focused anymore I felt like I now know the game but the ball began to fall behind the bar.

At first someone needs to understand how the game works, the ability to set your bar in the right position for the ball to bounce back is the main key, after you have been able to achieve the first technique then you should pay attention and stay focused in order not to allow the ball to fall behind the bar
