Day 3 of the new 9 day steemhop season and bro this game is already getting mad. I logged in at 23:29 and my coins were sitting at 85 from day 2, and the goal today was simple, push higher and stop choking early. First few runs were trash. I kept dying at score 2 because I rushed the purple cars on the road and forgot to wait for the gap. The desert map still looks the same with the orange ground and little trees but the traffic is moving faster this season I swear. I hit -1 twice back to back and I was ready to delete the app. But then something clicked and I started actually timing my hops instead of panic tapping.
By the middle of day 3 I started getting into it. I made it past the road section and got to the train tracks for the first time today. Those red and white crossing bars are evil man. You think you’re safe then a train just flies through. I hit 12 on one run and 17 on another, and my coins climbed to 93. Every coin counts now because I’m trying to save up for the next skin drop. The best part was when I chained 3 logs in the river section without falling once. That felt so clean. I could see the TOP 52 tag on the screen and I was like okay maybe I can actually climb this season if I stop being greedy.
The last couple hours of day 3 were where I finally broke my PB. I hit 40 and then 90 on one run and I was shaking. Cars everywhere, purple and red just flying, trains on both tracks, and I was just weaving through it all. Got to 98 coins before I got clipped by a car right after crossing the tracks. 90 score and 98 coins in one run is my best so far this season. The game over screen with the big STEEM HOP logo kept popping up but I didn’t even care because I knew I was improving. Day 1 and 2 I barely hit 20, now I’m almost at 100. The leaderboard is moving fast though so I can’t get comfortable.
Honestly day 3 feels like the turning point for me in this 9 day season. I’m starting to read the spawns better and I’m not dying to stupid stuff as much. Still got 6 more days to go and I need to hit at least 150 if I want top 20. My fingers hurt and my battery is at 1% but I’m not stopping. Tomorrow I’m aiming for 100+ score and 100 coins in a single run. If you’re also playing steemhop this season let’s see who gets higher, because this new season is no joke and day 3 just showed me how sweaty it’s gonna get
THANKS FOR VISITING
