The game is a variation of video poker. As it's related to 404, it's quite logical 🙂 that pair of Fours or less don't count.
Your initial balance is 411 and you need to reach 418 and officially become a teapot. If you get down to 404, your balance is not found and you lose.

Feedback from the experts
Christer Kaitila: The graphics are so pleasing and attractive! Took me an eternity to figure out I needed to press ESC to start the game, I feel silly now of course, it seems obvious in retrospect. I couldn't figure out what the coil monetization did in the game. I really liked the smooth readable font and smooth transitions and tweens and animations! Great work!
Nathan Lie: Simple game, but with very pleasing graphics. Only suggestion I'd make is to add some sound effects or music, and to add a Web Monetization bonus of some kind.
Ewa Mazur: Nice poker-related graphics and color palette. I couldn't find anything for Coil subscribers...
Anselm Hook: Hmm, I had trouble starting the game? I don't see the web monetization support specifically.
Jupiter Hadley: Really lovely graphics, interesting game concept too!
