Really fun, I like the element of betting and raising the stakes. Cool art and great audio, the music was super peaceful

How does your game fit the theme?
Count Down is central to every decision the player makes. Each wager is a calculation of the remaining cards in the deck. As cards are drawn and permanently discarded, players must constantly count down the available outcomes and adjust their odds. The theme also drives the game's fail state. Every card drawn brings the player one step closer to an empty deck. Once there are no cards left to draw, their journey ends. Whether you're counting your chances or counting down to your last card, every decision is a race against the inevitable.
