This website's recently been set up, and needs playtesting and is in its early stages. Please send comments about improvements to the e-mail address on the website.

Eventually the game might be expanded to include all elements of countdown, but is at the moment a letter game.

Enjoy.

This isn't going to go well.

Given the competition, it's awful.

Not even a stab at a weighted letters distribution. Suitable for 10 yr olds at best. (Probably who it's aimed at)

lol. Was that written in 1982?

And, as for the game, a kind description would be: 'hopeless'.

The lobby is pretty dire, the letters are lowercase and it's best of 5. There's nowhere to even tell you what the max was so learning isn't possible.

I think you should take a look at http://www.apterous.org. Maybe this is what you were aiming for?

I would say this is quite a witty satire of apterous, but judging by the existence of the "killersmurf portfolio", it'd have to be a very elaborate one.
