67 ON LEADER BOARD
I have been completely hooked on this Steem Hop game on http://steemhop.org and I never thought a simple white cube jumping game would have me raging and addicted like this at the same time, when I first opened it I thought it was just a quick crossy road copy that I would play for like 2 minutes and close but I ended up spending almost 3 hours straight just trying to cross the roads and rivers. The concept looks so easy, you just tap to make the little white block with the red cap hop forward, but the timing is insane, if you jump too early a purple or orange car will just smash you, if you wait too long the brown log in the river will move away and you will drown, and you keep going back to zero like you saw in my video where I was getting -1 and 0 at the start, it was so annoying but I couldn't stop. My best run so far is that 52 you saw in the clip and that run is what pushed me to 69 on the learner board, before that I was stuck at top 93 for a whole day and my previous high was just 33, I could not break past it no matter what I did. In that run I had 265 coins and now I have 270, I don't even really know what the coins do yet maybe they unlock skins but I just pick them up every time because they are on the path. Getting to 69 felt so good because I finally survived that train track area that always kills me, those trains come so fast after the second road and the red and white barrier doesn't give you enough time, you have to watch the pattern and sometimes while you are waiting for the train a car will come from behind and hit you. What I realized after dying like over 200 times is that Steem Hop is not about luck at all, it is about patience and memorizing the rhythm, the orange cars always come in twos then there is a small gap then a purple car comes alone and very fast, and the logs in the river have a slow and fast cycle, if you miss the slow one you should not force the fast one because you will definitely fall inside the water. I used to rush a lot because I wanted to beat my high score quickly and that was why I kept dying around 20 or 25, but when I started staying calm and waiting one extra second before each jump I started reaching 40 and 50 easily, you can see at score 28 in my video I almost got hit by two purple cars and I jumped at the last second, my heart was beating so fast. Being at 69 on the learner board might sound funny because of the number but for me it is a big deal because I started from zero, I literally could not cross the first road without dying and now I can cross the first river, the second road, and sometimes even survive the double train tracks after 40. All my friends started playing after I sent them the http://steemhop.org link and now we have a group chat where we post our high scores every night, one of them is already at top 40 and he keeps making fun of me for being at 69 but I told him I will overtake him before this weekend ends, I usually play around 11pm when everywhere is quiet because you need full concentration, one distraction and you jump straight into a car. If you have never tried Steem Hop you should go to http://steemhop.org and try it but be ready to get angry because you will die ten times on score 1 and 2 and then suddenly you will get to 40 and feel like a pro, that is how the game hooks you and keeps you coming back. My next target is to break into top 30 on the learner board, I know I can do it if I can just master that area after 50 where I died in my 52 run, I rushed the last jump and the train smashed me even though I was about to beat my record by far. I will keep grinding tonight again and maybe record another clip when I hit 80 or 100, but for now 69 on the learner board is my personal best and I am proud of it and I am going to push higher no matter how many times that little cube gets hit by those cars.
