Second on the beautiful main menu scene. Was a very fun spin on traditional blackjack with stealth elements. Nice work!

As soon as I ran the game I was blown away by the quality of a freakin’ main menu, those were some really nice looking hover effects. I have to be honest though… I never really learned blackjack, so I didn’t do many smart moves that help me win… Still, I have to admit that the card-peeking mechanic is brilliant and adds a lot to the game. Even without fully understanding everything, I still managed to win a couple rounds when gambling with all of my chips!

I played this game the only way I know how: all in on every bet. I love the style and atmosphere, would cheat again.
