The game looks good, but could you make the game provably fair (i.e. the "could win" rate is determined by server seed and client seed)?

The statistics page will be added soon, and you will see the truth.

"I just played 100 times, clicking the "97% chance to win" button and lost 15 times"

Q: What does that statistic prove?
A: Nothing. Why? Firstly because statistics don't prove anything, they just give an indication of what the truth is likely to be. And secondly because I made it up.

My point is that we can't know how true any statistics you publish are, and even if they are true, we can't know that you didn't manipulate things behind the scenes to make your friends win too much and everyone else lose too much.

The game needs provable fairness in order for people to trust it.
