Steem Snake Game Contest #01 |From Learning the Controls to Reaching Rank #19

Today was my fourth day playing the Steem4Snake game, and I was really excited to play again. After playing for the last few days, I was becoming more familiar with the game mechanics, so this time I decided to play on my laptop instead of my mobile phone.

Honestly, the experience was much better on the laptop. Using a mouse gave me better control over the snake, and the larger screen made it easier to see what was coming and react quickly. I was slowly learning how to dodge obstacles, stop or control the snake, slow down when necessary, and move safely through difficult areas.

At the beginning, I played several rounds just to get comfortable. Some games lasted around five minutes, while others continued for almost ten minutes. The longer I played, the more confident I became because I was beginning to understand when I needed to move quickly and when it was better to slow down and play carefully.

One thing I noticed today was that some of my games were becoming quite long. When I continued playing for too long, my laptop sometimes started to lag or hang, which made the game difficult to control. Because of this, I realized that playing for a reasonable amount of time and keeping the gameplay smooth was actually better than simply trying to survive for as long as possible.

Whenever the game was running smoothly, I enjoyed it much more. I could concentrate on controlling the snake instead of worrying about sudden delays or lag.

I also had several good rounds where I managed to get 12+ points, while in some rounds I achieved a good length and crossed 1,000+. Every round taught me something new, and compared with my first few days, I could clearly feel that my control and reaction speed were improving

During my first three days, my overall score was only around 2, but today I managed to push my total to 30+. Seeing that improvement made me feel really motivated. It may not be the highest score compared with experienced players, but for me, it was a great achievement because I could see my own progress.

The most important thing I have learned from these four days is that practice really does make a difference. At first, I was still figuring out how to control the snake, but now I understand the movements much better. My speed is improving, my reactions are getting quicker, and I am becoming more confident with every round.

After finishing my games, I went to check the leaderboard. I was honestly very happy when I saw that my total points had increased to 33k+, and my name was showing at Rank #19.

Seeing my name at Rank 19 gave me a great feeling because I remembered where I had started just a few days ago. From struggling to control the game to reaching the Top 20 was a small but meaningful achievement for me.

For me, today's Rank #19 wasn't just a number—it was proof that the practice of the last four days was finally starting to pay off.
