Crash Bidder by Arlwin
In Crash Bidder, you’re a desperate collector trying to sell your prized collectibles—but there’s a twist. The only way to raise their value… is to bid on them yourself!
Bid high to tempt other collectors into bidding even higher—but don’t get too greedy. If you’re the last bidder when the hammer drops, the item’s yours… and you’re broke.
With only three chances to bid, every move counts. Outthink, outbid, and outlast your rivals in this high-stakes crash-style auction game!
Inspired by the theme “Collector”, Crash Bidder draws from the wild world of art auctions—where fortunes rise and fall in seconds.
This is a game of chance and you can't really know if the others will still bid or not! It's up to your intuition.
P.S. Originally we wanted to add more items to auction and upgrades to buy with the surplus but we ran out of time :(

Btw, there are times where I did nothing and the bidders bid above quota by themselves, is this by design? Since there's balance on the menu I'm guessing there will be(or could have been) a reason for the player to want to get the bid higher even though it passed the quota?
interesting idea, but incomprehensible mechanics
