For our final blog post, we were supposed to play a game that we never have before and write about our experience. When I typed online games into the google search bar, a Disney link came up towards the top, so I clicked on it. My favorite Disney movie is Beauty and the Beast, so when I saw a game with Belle on it, I chose that. When I was younger, I used to play a Beauty and the Beast game on my desktop at home all the time. It was a disk that I inserted into my computer, and I spent so many hours playing that game when I was younger, and when I saw this game it reminded me of those times. The game I found was called Beauty and the Books, and basically you just had to align books on top of one another starting from the floor. As you work your way up, the books you have to stack onto your pile start coming in faster, so it does get harder to align them accurately. If you miss your stack of books and the book falls to the floor, you lose a life, and you only have three. I know that this game is probably intended for younger children, but it honestly does get kind of hard the longer you go on because the books start flying into the screen very quickly, so it’s hard to judge when to click, releasing the book from the air so it will fall onto your pile. I know it probably seems childish, but I could see myself wasting a lot of my time on this game if I was bored! I’ve inserted a screenshot below of what the game looked like while playing.
