Interesting gameplay! Maybe add a jackpot for landing on 9:99 or other unique numbers? It’d enrich the mechanism.

Interesting concept and very well polished for the current content! I have to say it is easier to play than it seems like once you learnt the basics! So I recommend any test players give the dev 2 mins love first and read the instructions :).
The addition of the roguelite is definitely making the game more playable & replayable otherwise it would be a reaction testing game. I think the modifers design are making this game into a different level. Simple to start yet have its own depth! Great work and finishe level!

Chasing EternityThank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review! I’m very happy that you understood what we were going for :) It’s not a reaction-testing game where you have to be super precise down to a hundredth of a second. I don’t even think that’s possible :D It’s all about strategizing and improving your odds and expected score. You can’t and won’t hit the jackpot every time, and you may even have a negative score, but that doesn’t matter. As long as you have a good plan, it should all work out :) Thanks a lot!
Yup! I totally get it and agree with the strategy perspective of this game! I do think that's what make this game unique.
Funny that I hit the .50 reverse effect 4 times in one round! That pushes my mind to rethink the stop button strategy I should use coz the penalty range (0-9) is so close to the reward range (90-99) once reversed lol.
Was very confused at the start but then was able to enjoy it, nice concept, well done on your work :) ♥

Stop it at ZeroIt really was confusing at first, only after three runs did I start to understand it and it was pretty fun! I liked the mechanic and the modifiers, I like how it interacts with the timer, I like how each boss changes how you play the game, really good!

Count Em' Down!I was kind of confused at first on how to earn points but once i realised how it works it finally clicked, although i found timing pretty hard or maybe i just have very slow reaction times 😭I still don't get how points reversal works though. really good game and its impressive how someone can make pressing only one button to be so engaging.

Full Metal NunVery cool, at first I was a little confused on what exactly I was supposed to be trying to do (as in how do I earn points) but it clicked pretty quickly. Very interesting mechanic and this feels all around very developed. Really like this game, I'm unfortunately pretty bad at it thought lol

Queen's Count DownWho knew pushing a single button would have so much depth to it? I like the take of interacting with the countdown and not having it just be a simple timer. Very clever idea.

Down to the LetterThis game triggers a rush of pleasure when you manage to stop the timer at the perfect moment. It’s particularly forgiving that pressing the button too early results in a pause rather than a penalty.

Tiny Smithvery well made! this game proves you can make a satisfying roguelite out of anything, even just pushing a button :D
