I attribute most of the early traffic (only 2 weeks in) to the domain (GunGuesser.com)

I have 4 donors, 2 of which were quite generous, allowing the site to break even and leave a small profit which honestly is huge as a broke student.

The game has categories, multiplayer, ranked 1v1, sudden death, and a massive progression system including badges and a battlepass.

I’d love some feedback from you pro hackers on how I can improve. I will read, reply and act on all meaningful comments.

Please share your thoughts!

very impressive, most people with technical experience don't execute this well on a game. W non AI slop. Hope everything is well with finances!

As a history, guns and geoguesser geek ya got me. You got a new player. Id recommend making the play page feel more modern.

definitely feel its a bit cramped, however I also dont want it to be a scavenger hunt to find buttons and have new users miss out on content, idk what the right balance is. Is there anything specific you think is bloaty?
