You know, for a simple game as hi/lo, this is had me hooked for a few good minutes, and the leaderboard was a neat thing to add that kinda added some motivation to keep playing. Tho the best score I got was at the 800 mark. ;v;
I like the Christmas theme and that the "lives" are bells that give a chime on a failure. I think that the timer and simple controls helps with focusing on making numerous snap decisions and quickly moving on from failed guesses instead of mulling over the probabilities. The bells making a noise does help with making the player realise their previous guess is wrong.
I think a potential improvement would be to have the cards slightly bigger to make the card values easier to read, and therefore make quicker decisions.
I like that there are separate scoreboards for the 12 and 20 second modes, and that your highest combos for the current run is tracked by the snowflakes. The best score I got on 20 second mode was 3410, and 12 second 1736.
RNGesus has their hands all over this one; i can’t claim much responsibility for the current top 20s score but had fun getting there. thanks for the ride, RNGesus!
Hi ! I love the music and the ambiance, this smells so much like Christmas holidays ! The gameplay is cool and perfect for the 12s - 20s time scope and easy to master. Very refreshing and peaceful. Thanks !
i dont know about you but searching for just the “right” music is the most tedious task for me and my games. when i came across this tune, it hit the right tone i was looking for and the rest of the game fell in line ) glad you had some fun!
If I wasn't such a grinch I could see myself playing this until at least January 6. Simple game, very well executed and entirely in tune with the 20 (or 12) second time limit. Superb work as usual.
i started SurvivorZ early and still felt like jamming so #2 happened :) thanks for playing and i definitely kept this one simple which sometimes = instant fun (and the leaderboards help, too!)
Some ingame instructions would have been great for the first game. For the highscore i would prefer to instantly see my placement of the current round.
Did not realize, that the card circle revealed the upcoming cards until i read the comments here ;)
i do need to show where we land on the table after each play (IF we do). i keep meaning to do that in subsequent games but always forget! if i have time, i’ll add it to this and SurvivorZ but thanks for playing :)
Neat little game! the theming is nice and the online leaderboards are a cool touch. Very snappy and to the point gameplay, definitely one of those 'just one more round' games
thanks for checking it out. and, which inits are yours (guys, please post yours in the comments if it’s not obvious) ? i do dig watching folks climb the ladder and like to make the connection here :)
Nice! I like it! It's really cool that there is an online leaderboard and controller support. I can see this being something I could play on my phone while bored. I didn't realize at first that the order of the cards appears before the game starts, but this is a nice modification to make the game a bit more skill based.
One small issue I had was that the sound doesn't work on Safari. But it works in other browsers (and who uses Safari anyway, except for me?)
thanks for checking it out and congrats on being the first to mention the reveal. honestly, it doesn’t help MY play but there it is. and, i know certain browsers play differently but accounting for them all is beyond me :( see you on the leaderboards!
Nice Christmas Game :D I had a blast testing it!
One feedback: I would make the animations skippable, as at some point you just want to try again quickly ;)

Good job on it.~

thank you for the thorough evaluation and for climbing both high score ladders :) Happy Holidays!
Damn, there are some real hi/lo gamers out there, the leaderboard was a clever addition

simple CAN be fun and i embrace that most-times :) thanks for checking it out!
This was great! Played quite a few games of this though but I feel like I had some bad luck!

Really nice one :D I find myself training my short-term memory for a better highscore haha :D
you’re a better player than me as i just “wing it” each time thru. heh. thanks for playing!
