I wasn't sure what to do after hitting 21 though. After a few tries, I realized I needed to click the 21 (and go green) before it changed. After I figured that out, it was rather fun!"},{"author_name":"shohs","author_uid":"20774","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 5:16am","epoch":1367385060,"text":"This is actually pretty fun! The only problem I see is that it is sometimes impossible to get to 21 (I got all 1's and 2's once). Other than that, good job."},{"author_name":"The Consul","author_uid":"13454","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 10:13am","epoch":1367402880,"text":"Good work. Addictive stuff. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I got into a couple of situations where it was impossible to reach 21 though, because I started with only low values to select from.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also it was a bit confusing at first that I had to click the number 21 once I've reached it. But I have to admit that it added to the gameplay and the stress that I had to tap it once I had the number right."},{"author_name":"Anickyan","author_uid":"11722","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 10:22am","epoch":1367403420,"text":"Took a couple of failures to figure it out.

Glad to see people are enjoying the game. I should have clarified that you need to click on the large number to submit your value but after a little bit of trial and error it looks like everyone figured it out.

Took me forever to realize the countdown timer was the number I was adding to! Once I figured that out it was a neat little reaction game.

May lack a little juice - sounds, some movement, but then again the theme was minimalism, so I guess you decided to be careful. Starting a round with a &quot;1&quot; is quite a pain - instant loose :D"},{"author_name":"MinionStudios","author_uid":"22273","time":"May 8, 2013 @ 2:43pm","epoch":1368023880,"text":"Interesting take on 21..."},{"author_name":"Sebastian","author_uid":"20818","time":"May 8, 2013 @ 3:50pm","epoch":1368027900,"text":"Very fun and addictive little game!
