I don't know if Zumma the game is intended alone for young kids to be played with.
My Mom and Yas' Mom are so hooked on the said game. I myself is self confessed addicted with it. For some reasons, my world stops when I am playing it. No distractions allowed, no replies from your text messages and sometimes I won't answer a call.
While playing it...I learned a lot of things from my experiences, the ups and down of the game gives me practical ideas in dealing with life...
Here's some:
***Striking a target is not enough when you can hit your targets all at the same time.
Combo is the key in obtaining so many tasks while lessening the anxiety that you might get too long completing a cycle in life.
***In Zumma, there are sometimes cases wherein you cannot simply do a combo. What you need to do is to take a risk. Invest in laying down your balls on the site while preventing to strike single way. In life, we do the same thing, if you feel like tommorow will be a better day to harvest your blessings then be it. At any rate, they are still there the day after. Grapes needs to be permented to be wine.
*** Do not look too far if you have a target, sometimes the best source of solutions are just so near that you cannot see it. On the other hand, dont focus on striking just beside your corner. There are times in life though that we need to reach for something so far away to extend our sencerity to push ourselves to the limits.
*** You are Great! You know you can finish and do clear a stage. But you can only do so much. Which is why we sometimes we fall short and is endangered from loosing. Good news is we can always maximize the help we could get. In Zumma there are bombs that cuts the chain, there are balls that can reverse the route. And there are so much more. In life, we could resort to prayers, we can build alliances to back you up in times of trouble and just like in Zumma, there's so much more possibilities you can explore.
***You make mistakes in Zumma, you could drop a ball in the wrong spot, you might create disaster out of that. This will ruin your plan. But the good news is you can always make a re assessment, have a plan b or plan c. Then life goes on. We move on,carrying with us the lessons learned from that mistake.
***Sometimes Mistakes can be BEAUTIFUL MISTAKES. How is that? I do sometimes place a ball on the wrong spot in Zumma, I would hate myself for being so wreckless and so stupid in making a bad move, however that mistake would turn out to be a sweet scape towards the long chain of obstacles...Yes, it might create a double, triple or more COMBOS!
***I do complain most of the time with how complex the structure of the game is specially when you think it is impossile to surpass such stage. But the creator will not make something like that if no one will be able to do it.Right? As the seasoned poem from anonymous author goes...Rest if you must, but don't quit.
*** As much as you are venturing into great deals of COMBOS in Zumma, you need to know that today is today and if you focus on the outcome of your long term plans then you might forget about the things that needs to be address right at the moment. Next thing you know is you're already at the mouth of the danger. That is scary!
