After an extended break, I’m excited to announce that I’m returning to The Catapult 2, ready to immerse myself in its world once more. This comeback is more than just a continuation of my previous adventures; it has been a time of reflection on what led me to step away from the game in the first place. I’ve taken some time to reflect on my experience and what kept me engaged, and I’ve come to some interesting realisations that I feel compelled to share. There’s a renewed sense of passion and motivation that I can’t wait to explore with you all—so stay tuned for insights and updates as I dive back into the gameplay!
As I take a moment to reflect on my journey, I realise that stepping away from The Catapult 2 was a pivotal decision that I needed to understand better. Looking back, I did enjoy the challenge that the game presented, but at that point in my life, I truly wasn’t ready to fully embrace what it demanded. Instead of immersing myself in the game, I found myself drawn to exploring various other gaming experiences. I created how-to guides and shifted my focus toward different types of content that felt more manageable at the time.
Like many of you, I continuously told myself that I simply didn’t have enough time to dedicate to regular gaming and content creation. However, upon reflection, I recognise that the underlying issue was not just a lack of time; I needed to develop better organisational skills and a structured routine before I could commit to weekly video uploads reliably.
Another significant factor that impacted my decision was my work-life balance, or rather, the imbalance I was facing. After welcoming my daughter into the world in 2020 (yes, she’s a COVID baby!), life as I knew it was turned upside down. My priorities shifted dramatically, and I had to accept that my gaming hobby would need to take a back seat as I navigated the challenges of parenthood.
While my life is still a work in progress and isn’t completely sorted out yet, I can confidently say that things have improved significantly. This newfound stability in my personal life has given me the perfect opportunity to make a comeback, reigniting my passion for gaming and content creation. I’m eager to dive back in and share my experiences with all of you.

During my time away from gaming, I discovered a profound passion for music production that has allowed me to explore my creativity in new and exciting ways. Under my artist name, Aethyereia, I specialise in crafting immersive soundscapes that delve into the realms of Ambient, Chill-Out, New Age, and Ethereal music.
In 2023, I took a significant step in my music journey by launching my debut track, titled “Silent Thunder.” This piece reflects my unique style and artistic vision, and it marks the beginning of my exploration into the vast possibilities of sound. Inspired by the response to my initial release, I set a personal goal in 2025 to produce and release at least one new song each month, allowing me to continuously evolve my sound and share my musical thoughts with listeners.
Additionally, I’ve released my first album, “Journey: The Beginning Part 1,” which encapsulates my artistic journey so far and features a collection of tracks that resonate with my experiences and emotions. Currently, I’m hard at work on Part 2 of this album, which promises to expand on the themes and ideas introduced in the first instalment.
In parallel with my music endeavours, I’ve also taken up blogging as a way to connect with both fans and fellow creators. Through my blog, I share insights into my creative process, discuss the inspirations behind my tracks, and explore broader topics within the music industry. This fusion of music production and blogging has enriched my artistic experience and fostered a sense of community as I engage with others who share my passion for music.
Stepping back into the world of The Catapult 2 brings a wave of nostalgia—it’s akin to reuniting with a cherished old friend. To my delight, not much has changed since I last played; the game continues to deliver the same delightful enjoyment and engaging gameplay that I remember so fondly. The exhilarating sensation of launching projectiles with precision, devising clever strategies for attacks, and tackling an array of challenges has rekindled my enthusiasm for the game.
What truly sets The Catapult 2 apart from many prevalent mobile games is its fair approach to gameplay. Unlike numerous titles that often fall into the pay-to-win model, The Catapult 2 maintains a balanced experience that rewards skill and strategy over monetary investment. This alignment not only enhances the overall enjoyment but also fosters a sense of accomplishment that resonates deeply with players.
In addition, my attitude towards in-game purchases has undergone a significant transformation. In the past, I was hesitant to spend any money on mobile games, believing it would detract from the experience. However, I’ve come to recognize that selectively investing in certain upgrades can substantially elevate my gameplay. These thoughtful investments often provide profound insights into the game’s intricate mechanics, and I’ve found that sometimes, a strategic purchase at just the right moment can substantially influence the outcome of a challenging battle. Overall, this newfound perspective has enriched my gaming experience, allowing me to engage with The Catapult 2 on an entirely new level.
