Bounce

Past few days I have been playing this game on my cellphone with the feverishness with which i used to, in my pre-history, read novels. Maybe i need some counselling from Mac, about this sudden turn towards games-on-the-mobile, something i used to despise almost as much as i do camera-on-the-mobile. But something struck me about this game about guiding a ball past many obstacles to reach higher levels. There is no killing involved in this game, as in, in order to reach the target the player doesnt and cannot destroy anyone. It rather has to overcome those which can destroy it. It cant kill its detractors and finish them once and for all. Some times it has to trace its route of progress all the way back to the starting point just to enter the next level. Instructive and humbling.

My obsession with the game is over as well, it seems. For some reason or the other i cant get past level 7. I have one gate to pass, and i cant, try as i might, find it. So i have given up. Some meaning in this as well...
