I’ve been playing “Bubble Blast II” for so long that the end is in sight. The game has 70 packs of 100 levels and I’m on level 63 of pack 65 | Column Hermann Sandmann

it’s called Bubble Burst II And I’ve been playing it for a long time. the first and only during the holidays; Summer at camp, or spring during a week away and now also at home. To the horror of the family: “Uh no, dad. Not that game again.”

It sounds simple. In Puzzle game mode, each level is a square with bubbles: red, green, yellow, blue. The player must get rid of them all with 1, 2, 3, 4 or more touches. Red appears after one click, green after two, yellow after three, and blue after four. When the red balls pop, they send small red balls to four sides that hit the other sides, causing them to appear or change color.

However: I sometimes find myself stuck on one level for weeks, resulting in a huge increase in screen time. It’s comfortable. Just like solving puzzles, coloring, or fishing, it’s helpful to disconnect from everyday things, organize thoughts, and sometimes not think about anything.

Which is nice, because usually there isn’t a moment when we think about anything. Our brain is always on. There is always a thought flashing around and there is a lot to worry about the person.

I play Bubble Burst II For so long that the end of “The Mystery” is imminent. This game mode has 70 packs of 100 levels and I’m on level 63 of pack 65, so it will be finished sooner or later.

I could be the first and something will happen. Its makers started watching me in secret, after realizing: Hey, there’s a guy who’s come a long way and continues. And that, unbeknownst to me, there is a prize available to someone who plays in full style. A large sum of money or something. I’ve been thinking about that for a while.

Well, it won’t happen again.
