I didn't understand much about the game, aside that is a betting game.
Do you need to find the right sequence to press the buttons?
If so, I would add a positive sound and feedback when pressing the right one, let's say you colour the button green when it's correct and then add a decorated ring rotating around it, then when pressing the second button, if that's correct you continue with the green colour and the ring around it, otherwise you mark it with a big red X and the next bet starts. Also add different sounds that give a positive and negative feeling according to the result of your pressed button.
Having played my games in the 8bit era I appreciate the retro feeling, so once you add the above mention visual feedback it will make overall a pleasant view.
If you can, it would be nice to add a multiplayer feature, where the host first create the sequence to press and the other players might guess. If the a peer win the sequence, that peer become the new host, get all the money of the other betters and a new button is added to create the sequence with. If instead no player guess correctly the sequence, the host get all players money and a new round of bet using the same amount of buttons is played.
I would start with 2 buttons minimum and when someone reaches and correctly find the 7 sequence buttons, the new winner start to be the host, but a new sequence with 2 buttons has to be created.
You can make multiple rule variations with these game, adding multiplayer features.
Definitely something that people might use to play as alternative to Poker or other betting games with friends during parties :-)

Hello, thank you very much for your comment and for having played it (I know it needs a small in-game guide to help the beginning player).
First of all, your multiplayer idea is really interesting, the truth is that it sounds good and I would even play it.
Although I don't usually do anything multiplayer because I think that since no one knows me, there would be very few people to play the game hahaha.
And to finish, actually the game doesn't have that mechanic you're talking about, I'll explain it a little bit above:
-You have a money, and you always have to bet something to reach the enemy blind.
-For each round that you pass, there is one more button available, and the number of available buttons is added to the multiplier of your bet.
-You only have to hit the correct button or buttons to win the bet (at the top right it says how many buttons are correct and how many are incorrect) Everything totally random.
-You only have to press one button out of all the available ones.
I hope this can help a little bit hahaha
Anyway thanks for your comment and I will try to improve the game and add things. :)
Oh, so it was much simpler than I though, tanks for explain.
Well, you can definitely add those suggested mechanics, with multiplayer just send messages from peer to the host and vice versa and you can easily do it. It doesn't matter if no on knows you, you can do it for getting use to create multiplayer games, increase your portfolio and show that you can build multiplayer games and finally invest for the future. No one might know you now, but the game will still be there. Even after one year from its release, people can discover and play it. Also you might be willing to add it to game portals, giving you an additional route for getting income from your game ;-)
