Day 3 of the Steemhop leaderboard grind and this was the run where everything finally clicked 😂. I loaded up http://steemhop.org and my goal was simple, beat my old high of 26 and actually make a dent in TOP 39. The first few hops were shaky, I started at 1 and almost died to a purple car right away. But then I got into rhythm. I crossed the first road, hit the tracks, and started chaining hops. 11, 18, 23, 28. The score was climbing faster than day 1 and day 2 combined. I could feel it. The cars were moving but I was reading them better, waiting half a second instead of panic hopping. When I hit 34 I knew this was a PB run and I started getting nervous. My thumb was already hurting but I didn’t care because I was so close to breaking my record.
The middle part is where Steemhop usually kills me but not today. I got past the first set of trains, dodged a red car by a pixel, and kept pushing. 39, 40, 42, 44. Every hop felt like life or death. The timer was ticking down too, 1:50, 1:45, so I couldn’t just sit and wait forever. I started grabbing coins when they were safe and ignoring them when it was risky. That’s the difference from yesterday. At 44 I was already past TOP 39 and I was aiming for TOP 52 now. The game was throwing everything at me, multiple lanes of traffic and trains coming from both sides. Then I hit 45 and the game got even crazier. More cars, more trains, and the map started scrolling faster. I died once at 44 but immediately went back in because I knew I had it in me. That death just made me more determined.
The best run of the day came right after that and this is the one in the video. I started again and just went crazy. 1, 3, 7, 13, 19. I was not stopping for anything. Crossed roads, timed the trains perfectly, and before I knew it I was at 49. That’s when the “TOP 52” showed up in the corner and I realized I actually broke into a new bracket. 49 points full run, no deaths until the very end. I even got to the water part with the logs which I barely ever reach. The little white cube with the red ribbon was moving like it had a mission. I was counting every hop out loud. When I finally died it was because I got greedy near the end and a car clipped me right after I cleared a train. The screen went to the big STEEM HOP logo and my score reset to 0 but I was hyped because I knew I did it.
Day 3 ended with 49 as my new high score and I officially moved from TOP 39 to TOP 52. That’s a huge jump from the 26 I had on day two. The video shows the whole grind, the slow start, the 44 run, then the 49 run where I was just locked in. Steemhop is still frustrating as hell because one mistake erases everything, but when you’re in the zone it feels so good. I watched the replay like 3 times just to see how I pulled it off. For day 4 I’m aiming for 55+. If I keep playing patient and stop chasing stupid coins I think I can do it. For now though, 49 is the number and I’m not looking back. Leaderboard watch out because I’m coming for you 💪
