Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green blocks are all you need.
The rules are simple. Match two or more of the same color to complete the given task. Some call it an off-brand candy crush, and some call it the world’s greatest game. It is simple, but the simplicity of the game makes it fun.
About 4 years ago, my 8th-grade self made a decision that affected my life more than I could ever imagine.
As many in my generation go through, I bought many mobile games in my day, going from one form of short entertainment to another whenever I got bored. While this was an extremely unhealthy childhood, that’s not what this blog is about.
As another day passed, I got another ad on one of my many mobile games. Just as normal, I await for the x to appear in the top corner of the ad when I end up clicking on the ad on accident, causing the app store to open; the game that appeared was Toon Blast.
At first glance, I thought it was nothing more than an off-brand Candy Crunch, yet I decided to give it a try. So off I went, playing a new game like many times before. However, as I played more and more, I found myself spending much of my time on the game.
Eventually, time went on as I cleared level after level, reaching far into the 2, 3, 4, and even 5 thousand levels.
As I look at those thousands of levels cleared, the only thought I tend to have is if I have wasted part of my life on something inconsequential.
Probably so.
