I liked to read your gameplay experience very much. The score of 171 points is a good accomplishment, particularly because you said that you scored 134 points halfway. It demonstrates that you did not give up until the last drop, and that will is what makes playing games enjoyable and satisfying.
I personally like that you have provided the step-by-step process with screen shots. It causes readers like me to feel that we are playing with you. Those kinds of games do add a lot more life to the Steem platform and contribute to making the community active.
The moral that I choose in your post is very simple: any kind of improvement, however minor, should be always celebrated. You are moving right in the right direction by each score, and 171 points show you that hard work will always pay. Keep it on and you will soon be setting even greater records!
