This game resembles arcade games like Pong or breakout, where you control a ball using a paddle to prevent it from falling off. It also has the similarity of focusing skill and timing similar to those timeless titles

I have no life currently, but initially I had 15 lives or there about. Enough for an expert to last for long in the game. To conserve lives, I need to focus on maintaining a steady paddle position, anticipate the ball's trajectory and also minimize distractions from my immediate surrounding to aim or get a higher score. Practicing consistent movements and staying calm despite under pressure can help me extend my gameplay

I started off with a roughly mostly because I didn't understand the game play, I was hoping for a tutorial or an instruction on how to begin. I started by positioning the paddle to hit the descending ball, setting the stage for a challenging yet engaging session

The strategy I used was that I had to predict where the ball was about falling off from, keeping the paddle in the centre was a helpful strategy too. So in summary, adjusting my timing of the ball and anticipating rebounds from sides can be strategies to avoid loosing my lives early

I felt disappointed. Mostly cuz I didn't know how the paddle was to move. It is a moment where the game tests my resolves all the moreso pushing my ability to adapt. I felt challenged after loosing 7 lives, possible questioning my strategy. I started questioning my own approach wondering what other tactic to use, hence, this shows the games difficulty.

I had a mixed feeling after loosing my whole lives, I felt amusement and defeat. Might go further after having knowledge on it. There are instances when you grab a clock on the screen and this makes the ball fall faster or rebound in the opposite direction with speed.
It was difficult to think quickly where the ball will rebound with such great speed. I felt bad but then I see the need to try harder. My lowest score is 427, but so far, my highest score is 478. A solid score for a second trial.

A big mistake I did was misjudging the ball's angle, mostly when it moves faster than the usual speed. Also overcommitment to one side, or angle might also have been a big mistake that I did

I lost because of the ball falling off too much from the paddle, depleting all my lives. Also, I lost because of no instruction on how to start the game as a new player. Therefore, I was inconsistent in tracking the ball's direction especially when it moved at a higher speed. These also contributed to my outcome

Yes, it requires both focus and swift reflexes to move the paddle too. It's a test of both physical and mental agility - involving the use of the brain, the hand and eyes. This may sound exhausting then fun and a nice experience.
