Hi everyone. I built a tiny web game where the goal is to pick the lowest number that nobody else picked.
It runs once per day — if someone picks the same number as you, you’re both eliminated.
Since the mechanics are simple, I focused on feel: vintage-poster styling, small animations, and a snappy number-picking interaction.
By day I’m a Go backend developer, so this pushed me into much more frontend/design than usual.
I’d love feedback on both the gameplay and UX. I’m also genuinely curious: how large can the smallest winning number get as the player count grows?
