Phone games

I was never one to play games on my phone and I think it had a great deal to do with my reflexes being slow and the size of the screen. Then Summer sat beside me playing 2048 and I found myself thinking that I’d just try that. Well, it was a long trial period – so long I tired of it and went searching for simple games that weren’t timed.

I came across Room Escape games and a series of games about a series of doors that you had to do something clever or, basically, stupid to get each one open. Now I have become almost addicted to this game call Cross Fingers – or something like that. You have to maneuver shapes in a confined area. Of course, the first levels are free and then you have to open new ones with stars you have earned and/or money. I might pay if I were waiting in a hospital or outside a courtroom, someplace where my mind would wander with anxiety from concentrating on what I was reading. As it is, I earn stars.

You have to pay three star to unlock a level and you earn two stars for completing it. We didn’t pay that much attention to that when we were skipping around on levels, actually playing “Baby” at one point.
I have finished “Insane” and “Genius” – not quickly, but with perseverance, or maybe it was stubbornness.

It’s probably time to move on to something else, something involving reading and learning and keeping up to date on current affairs. I’ll just find a couple of compelling games to have if I come across the hospital/courthouse scenario. Of course, there is that word – compelling. I do not remember the multiplication tables being compelling – nor the intense study of archaic grammar.

For all my good intentions, I suspect I will fall off the wagon . . . and be faces with putting all my pieces make in a certain shape. Ah, these is beginning to sound like “The Devil Rum.”

Oh, Satan, get thee behind me – -But Santa you can stay close by. Just thought I’d mention that in case or a typo or computer glitch.
