My experience playing Steem Retrogames — Score 592
I spent some time playing a vintage game online today, which made it a great day for me. The game, which is named Steem Retrogames, has an arcade-style design. I always like retro games, because they remind me fun days our childhood. In todays game, I scored 592, which is both an achievement and an inspiration do better.
Starting game
When I first launched the game, a picture of a beautiful retro arcade machine appeared on the screen. Steem Retrogames was written in large letters on the machine. Green trees on the side, red mountains in the background, and a sunset scene—all together, it was like a beautiful poster design. From the game menu, I chose my favorite game mode.
As soon as I entered the game, I saw a small white platform or line at the bottom, which I could move with my finger. Small balls objects were falling from the top, which I had hit with the platform and send back.
Learning the game strategy
In the beginning, I was repeatedly missing the ball. Every time I miss, my life or life decreases. It is clearly written on the screen, how much is my score and how much is left. After my life went to zero a few times in the beginning, the screen flashed — Game Over. That's when I decided to play more carefully this time.
I started to observe the trajectory of the ball carefully. I realized that ball does not just come straight in one direction, but bounces changes angles. So you cant just run after ball, but you have predict in advance where it will fall. Once you start mastering this strategy, your score also gradually started increase.
A nice aspect of the game is that with each ball returned, the score increases. Sometimes special icons or symbols also fall, which give additional benefits if you catch them. For example, slowing down time, getting a larger platform, or getting an extra life.
When my score crossed 300 in the middle of the game, it seemed that this time it might be more than 500. At that moment, I became completely focused. I increased the speed my fingers, my eyes did not move from the trajectory of the ball for a moment. The game's background music sound ball bouncing also kept my attention.
The final moment
after playing for a long time, I raised my score to 592. Then my life count dropped zero screen flashed in a big way—Game Over. On the one hand, it felt bad, because if I had survived a few more seconds, I might have crossed 600. But on the other hand, I was also proud, because after losing repeatedly in beginning, I was finally able to score well.

Some tricks I learned
While playing, I learned a few things that will help me score better in the future—
Predicting where the ball will fall in advance — Not only reaction, but also anticipation is important.
Trying to catch special items — These help increase score and life.
Don't be distracted — A few seconds of inattention can end the entire game.
Stay calm — The excitement increases as the score increases, but the most important thing is to play calmly.
Future Goals
My next goal now is to score 600+. I know that to be good at this game, there is no other way but to practice. So I plan take out some time play regularly. Gradually, I will become more skilled in controlling the ball that I can last longer.
Today gaming experience was both enjoyable and educational for me. Steem Retrogames is not just a way pass the time, but it also teaches concentration, quick decision-making, hand-eye coordination.
