Animations were really nice, and the sound design was good. It's an interesting implementation of the theme "Countdown to broke". I don't entirely agree with the decision to make the calculator an item. Making it easier to tell what your current hand is allows for more quick-paced decision-making, which is good for a countdown-style game. I felt like you had an opportunity to force the player to balance their resources by using money as time, as well as your betting resource, but using chips reduced this aspect, making the timer just a timer. Your art style was very cohesive, and the writing was easy to read and understand and had personality.

Thank you for the feedback! I agree that betting with the money would be more interesting, but we found it hard to then balance starting money, as you need enough to have a bit of a cushion but not enough that someone could just go all in and win the level right away. Perhaps if we tinkered with that a bit more we could have found something, but chips was our way around that problem for now. I'm glad you liked the art, writing, and sound!
