Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

I actually like playing this game. It’s just like Bejeweled wherein you have to align at least 3 stones (runes, in this case) of the same kind to eliminate them. But it has a twist. The grid is not necessarily square or rectangular. and it has some kind of a story. It has something to do with the building of the ancient wonders. Anyway, whenever you pass a stage (with several levels), you go to the next one and it gets even harder. There are times when I have no more salvation from the moves I make (I have to take down the cornerstones and break all stones in the grid to pass each level), that’s why I just wait for the “no more moves” text for the stones to be changed and have a different arrangement. I become excited because it means there’s a possibility that more stones will be broken and cornerstones will be taken down. But everytime I find out that it doesn’t change anything, I get frustrated. I could only eliminate other runes to get points but I can’t even do the job expected of me. That’s why the workers below raise boards indicating that they need more stones to keep working. If I can’t supply them with what they need, they walk out. :(
There are also instances wherein I run out of time. and that makes me even more frustrated because I’d lose a life! But really, there’s always something positive after every negative. After losing a life, the level seems to get easier. That’s why I pass it without sweat during the second time. :)
That’s life. We may not be able to do what is expected of us, but there’s always a chance to do it the next time. We just need motivation. And after every hardship, there’s always happiness. You can’t make a rainbow without a little rain, right? ;)

I agree with you.. there are just those simple bumps in life that makes us feel discouraged but eventually we’ll get over it and we become even better persons ;) Nice post, Mikyu!

[...] Zuma, only it’s in a grid form. And there’s no skull involved. I also got addicted to Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (almost the same as Bejeweled). It was the only game I played with my sister’s PSP. [...]
